I have B. Lats and Discoids and both seem to do really well as food for my T's and they are both extremely easy to care for. Neither can climb smooth plastic surfaces so you don't have to worry about that but the male Lats can kinda fly. It's more of a flutter and fall and only when they get...

Nope wasn't me then.

You mind if I ask what pet store you work at? I live in Greeley and was selling slings to a store in Fort Collins for a while but I never worked there. I do recall speaking to an employee there about breeding some T's though. Not sure how long ago it was though.

Yeah we have access to those woodlice, I had them for a vivarium that I set up at one point. They were fun to watch do maintenance if a little hard on the eyes lol.

My vote is for the H. Mac. Since it's not wise to hold a real one at least you can hold one every time you talk/text.

I enjoyed having my H. Mac. Sure she was flighty and hated light but when she did come out at night she was a fantastic spider to look at. Just like any spider though if you use patience and common sense dealing with them 9 times out of 10 you won't have a problem.

Yup, I just left the male in with the female for a few days at a time and they did just fine. I did this several times over the course of a month and my female is sitting on a sack right now. The female was extremely gentle with the male.

You would assume that a herpetologist would have some common sense regarding other animals besides just reptiles though.

So, I was hanging out at a LPS yesterday checking out their T's and some lady comes in and starts talking about tarantulas to the clerk. I'm just sitting back and listening and all the sudden she drops some info about tarantulas that I never heard before. She says "A herpetologist I met said...

I guess I don't see the problem with it. I have one of my pokies my Violaceopes and my A. Versi in something similar to this and haven't had any problems. I had no trouble getting the humidity up in them either and even had a couple of successful egg sacks produced. It just required a little bit...

I would say that's a female based on what I can see.

I about died laughing when I saw THIS. Thought you guys might enjoy it.

I'm very fortunate as I have a pretty submissive wife and I usually do what I want but I also recognize that it works both ways. I don't hold her back from doing what she wants and she doesn't hold me back. I also started out telling her that it was an investment and at first she wasn't sure but...

I personally think it's doable provided you use a big enough enclosure and try to cover all your bases but, like everyone else pointed out, you would have some hurtles to jump over. You would definitely have to get the vivarium up and running smoothly long before you ever introduced a T into it...

LOL! If you think that's bad try losing a 5+" pokie in your house, twice, and having to tell your wife. Fortunately I found both in the warmest room in the house. I was more worried about my dogs getting bit than anything. I learned my lesson well after that.

I agree with cold blood and feed a little more. Also, I kept my sling in a 2" by 2" acrylic cube when it was that small and I was able to watch her at all times. I can't tell you how much she excavated in that thing and I was able to see it all. I almost named her dozer. She created some pretty...

I also have a C. Schioedtei and an L. Violaceopes and both seem to have their own weird schedule. One week I'll see them out and about real active and the next they're hiding all the time. I sometimes see my Schioedtei early in the morning for a while and other times I don't. The other day I was...

+1 I received my G. Pulchripes in March of last year and she is now at about 4" and due for another molt soon. I think she hit the 3" mark at about a year and she was about 1/4" when I received her. My T room usually stays between 73 to 80 degrees and here enclosure is kept dry with a full water...
