Caresheets

[MizM]

LOVE the care sheets, they are quite stylish from a graphic illustrator's point of view.
However... I usually end up printing out "the other guy's" caresheets, because yours don't include the origin of each species.

When I do presentations at local schools, the children invariably ask me, "Where did THAT one come from?" Consequently, I need to be armed and ready with the correct information, lest the first graders make me look like a fool!

So... PLEEEEEZE, could you include origins in your caresheets?

That's a good idea.
When we get a new T or are looking at one To get and looking up the information the Twins ask where it came from.
Knowing the Where helps alot on knowing what conditions they need.

Does the TKG have that kind of info for a lot of species? I don't know, I'm not a T person...

Also, John Hoke's site at www.e-spiderworld.com -> species list -> text list has almost all, if not all, of the "pet trade" tarantulas listed, most with at least a country of origin.

Terri,

Here are a couple of links to some other sights that provide good caresheets that you might take a look an in addition to the species list that Mr. Internet mentioned at e-spiderworld.com -- which is an EXCELLENT source of information. The top link will take you to a frameless document of the same info, so that you don't have to click through the rest of the site every time you want teh info.
