User Msmith77's Tarantula Pictures

[Msmith77]

Hello everyone this is my first post here, showing off my new baby B. Albopilosum. My first spooder ever I went with a DIY Hobby Lobby case/enclosure for model cars.
Can't wait for Jackie to eat for the first time. Looking forward to seeing him/her grow. Hope you guys like. Any tips/comments on the enclosure would be greatly appreciated. (The white is just a dram bottle cap Jackie came in, partially buried to add support for her/his little hide hole)

Welcome to the most addictive hobby in the world! Slings are a challenge, so be sure to ask for help if you need it.

You don't really need a water dish at that size just wet part of the substrate or you can get little ink pots like what tattoo artists use Like in @BoyFromLA Pictures apart from that nice enclosure and good luck with you're new T and welcome to the boards

Yeah Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens are beautiful try and stick with NW species just now I got a phormingochilus everetti as my 3rd T it's just a sling but it's lightning fast. I got that and a psalmopeous cambrigei at the same time even though its best to get something like the p cambrigei as a bridge to old world species I don't regret it but they are incredibly fast if you're just starting out. My 1st T was a Grammostola Pulchripes there a good species and there super cheap over here

Update on 5/25 for this one. Jackie has molted 3 times and seems to be a happy little T.
