As soon as the weather gets a little warmer around here (a few days) Im going to place an order with TarantulaCages.com for a 3/4" G. pulchra which comes with a free 1/4" B. smithi. This will be my first time rasing Tarantulas this small and Im a little nervous. I have not had a Tarantula for over 10 years, but Im not new to taking care of exotic animals. Right now I have two 5' Green Iguanas that I raised from 3" babies and a pond with 11 Japanese Koi from 12 to 27" long all raised from babies.
Im really wanting to get back into the Tarantula game so I have been reading as much info as I can find but I have a few questions.
How hard is it to actually raise spiders this small? I mean 1/4" is sooo tiny and 3/4" is not much bigger.
Are the breed of spiders I choose good to try to do this with?
I am planning on using 50/50 mix of sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite. Is this good for these types of Tarantulas?
Am I ordering from the right place?
Im going to need all the advice you can give me on how to do this. This is the info I plan to go by. http://www.tarantulas.com/spiderlings.html It sounds like some good info but if there are any tricks I should know please let me know.
