@BCspiderman7 That sounds like something I said right before getting the 20 slings at once.
I take my time when I'm trying a new enclosure idea that way if it doesn't work out I hide it in the closet where no one will ever see ... umm I mean you have time to fix it.
It's pretty fun to make new homes for the Ts. Good luck.
@BCspiderman7 - What two do you currently have? Do you have anything particular in mind for the third?
@Trenor - I take my time with the first of each new size to figure out what obstacles may arise (if any), develop the designs for airholes, get hasp/hinges logistics out of the way. Once those monotonous tasks are done, I get all my fun supplies out and go to town. I really enjoy the process of creating unique little homes that are designed SO MUCH MORE better from when I started.
@Caseyface I wouldn't mind having a Aphonopelma seemani as my third........I think they are gorgeous! At the moment I have a 4 inch female Grammostola Rosea which I raised from a sling. Also have a almost 3 inch Brachypalma Albopolisium (Honduran curly hair) which to me seems to be male but not sexed yet and also raised from a sling. So I want a more colourful terrestrial (not a Mexican red knee or red rump.....I find those ones boring lol) I would love to have arborial Ts but have no experience keeping them. There is what I think is a black widow spider in my bathroom. It lives under a small baseboard heater and once and awhile I will feed it a baby mealworms. It has been there for around a year now so not sure if it is the same spider or one of its babies. Does that count too? Lol
@BCspiderman7 - Aww, your little widow friend sounds cute. I found a daddy long leg in the my bathroom, missing two legs. I took him in, hoping to fatten it up a little. It has since molted, but didn't regenerate any missing legs...yet.
The B. albo was my first tarantula! She is a feisty girl, but absolutely wonderful. I recently got into the Aphonopelma genus, and I second your A. seemani!! It is on my list, too. I just got an A. chalcodes and she is SO docile. I don't handle my Ts, except for my E. sp. red, occasionally. I made an exception with this chalcodes. She is just as sweet, just slower with more calculated movements. My Gordita, the E. sp. red, is always on the go. She NEVER sits still, but this A. chalcodes is so chill.
