I had a moment like that with some of the pictures of cats on a link someone shared. Large list of cats and takes a while to get through, but a few of the photos had me bursting out loud.

These cat pictures are cutting edge. This changes everything….

In fact, I planted a batch of Geohintonia mexicana seeds just yesterday. I hope they actually germinate this time unlike this one batch of Aztekium hintonii seeds I planted two weeks ago which I threw out yesterday

Update on the G. mexicana seeds. Yesterday, I found that two of them had germinated. I will post a picture as soon as I get home from school.

As you can see, a third one has also come up!

uhm pretty sure we got waaay off topic here..

I have thought it over a lot, and since all of my Ts seem to be in good health and steadily growing, once my GBB molts I think I will get another T. It will not be a sling obviously, I am thinking either another LP or a T of similar size and growth speed, such as A. geniculata. I have thought this out, and since I have room on my T desk for just one more before I have to think about investing in a shelf, why not?

I don't know how bad/good of n idea it would be. I would post some pictures of your set ups to convince everyone that you know what you are doing now (if you care bout everyone's opinion). Other than that, having a few months of no deaths isn't that big of an accomplishment but it is a step in the right direction. I think an LP would be a good species.

Since I do not think you guys are, as Poec54 put it in one of his posts, "a bunch of nervous old ladies", here are the pictures of the setups of my Ts:

Zilla the LP

Velvet the GBB

Blondie the A. chalcodes



Fangs the A. anax

Seriously though, two months with no deaths under your belt after losing so many T's to your lack of experience is nothing. You seem to have a need to ask for advice and then ignoring it. The advice you've been given was to not purchase any more T's until the ones you have have reached maturity. That's like a year down the road, or more even. The comment that most concerns me is your repeated use of phrases like "one more won't matter", "what have I got to lose" etc. there are literally lives hanging in the balance here: that's what is there to lose. For you I guess maybe YOU don't have anything to lose. The tarantulas on the other hand have everything to lose if you don't take the time to gain some experience before making more purchases.

I can't see the first two pics. The second two enclosures look good for the most part except that I would add more substrate to decrease the potential for injury due to a fall. That, or add an upside down sterilite container under the substrate to fill up most of the enclosure. Try attaching the sling enclosures again.

Start a new thread... no need to bump this old/unrelated post.

Bumping this thread is a good idea though, so that everyone who isn't familiar with Driller's antics can get up to speed before making an uninformed opinionated response.

Is this person just going to post every question or issue they ever have in this thread to make sure people have "context?" Not a good policy. Post new topics in a new thread and include any background there if you think it's relevant.

Actually if you read the whole thread from start to finish it's not really off topic. IMO.

And there is a good bit of background to include most of which I do not think he would like to rehash. Restarting this thread was good in this case. In almost all others, it would be ridiculous.

The last two need more sub, I usually fill it to 3/4 full in most cases for my terrestrials. While you are making progress, 2 months with no deaths is not particularly impressive, you should still wait until next spring/summer before getting more. You still haven't experienced T keeping in the winter yet and you will get more in-tuned with your animals. An LP is not a bad choice but lets put this in prospective; I waited 4 months after I bought my 1st before I even entertained a thought about getting another and I've been keeping wild spiders since I was 4. A long deep thinking session is needed as A) You have a history of stressing your slings to death and B) You are a teenager (correct me if I am wrong) and thus have limited income and must follow your parents' wishes; I live at home too but I have a job that I use to support my animals so my parents' don't care that much about my spiders.

I agree with awiec except when u zoom on ur lp i seen its legs its small i think only your gbb has the proper amount of substrate..
