Only started this hobby a couple of weeks ago and now I have 6 Ts all of which I cherish now until they die. Why are Tarantulas so dang awesome?!?

That is a question that has no answer, they just are. Welcome to the hobby

Keeping Ts is truly one of the few things I cherish in life

“What’s the other few things?”
“Well, thinking of Ts, purchasing Ts, unboxing Ts, rehousing Ts, watching Ts, feeding Ts, breeding Ts...”

Too small for one, need one more molt for the juvi then I’ll rehouse and add a water dish but the others are tiny still

What makes you think they are too small? You do know tarantulas have been shown swimming in a river right?

Never to small to drink water. You may use ink containers that tattoo artists use. Amazon sells them.

They're never too small for a water dish.

Slings don't even break the surface tension of water, they can literally walk on it.

I'm new to the hobby as well, I have 3 so far and am looking to get more but was wondering if there are better ways to get them other than big corporate pet stores or online sites where prices are a bit on the expensive side ?
