    Seller Opinion

    Everyone has their favorites, whether a hobbyist or online dealer, the place to start is the reviews...look for what species you want, find a seller and look up their reviews and maybe PM individuals that recently made purchases and inquire, asking for details or what ever.

    Tarantulas and vacation

    T’s can actually be kept pretty harshly, everything from extreme temperature swings to some almost dry forgotten about conditions. With that being said slings are a little more temperamental and your almost guaranteeing yourself loses. If my slings were 1st or 2nd instars, I would probably take...

    Tap Water?

    I use tap water here in Idaho but when i was in southern CA it was advised not to drink the tap water, in that case, i bought the filtered water using the five gallon jugs. My cats dont drink tap water so your mileage might vary....At the zoo, the water is centrally treated, so not sure if that...

    What are the most venomous/dangerous tarantulas, excluding the Austrailian ones?

    I like this idea, i also think its situational, some people have more adverse reactions to being bitten then others..its seen in pede's, i can only assume it is the same for for T's...again unless you milk T venom and equally dose participants, its probably only going to be speculative but seems...

    When to start feeding my L.Parahybana mice??

    Well there's information circulating around that crix can be bad for T's, so should we not use store bought crix's for our t's???? the do's or dont's are speculative at best since each side, says the same thing about the other. The whole should we or shouldn't we argument is just semantics...

    Wild caught tarantula

    with the wide assortment of CB specimens already in the hobby..i dont really see a need to keep WC t's....The local populations seem decimated enough but my biggest worry with a WC specimen has more to do with contamination than population density...Peat from walmart or lowes mixed with some top...

    wild caught tarantula 30 minutes ago...help?

    Looks like a MM?? if its wild caught and you don't have a female... wouldn't it be better to just let him go, so he could do his thing? Just playing devils advocate but imo that seems to be the best course of action and being WC, feeding insects from around where you got him wouldn't hurt since...
