I'm getting one (only, one) tarantula at the reptile show in Daytona, Florida in August. It's a huge show and I'm sure they'll have any species you could name.
I only have one, an adult male Chilean rose. I'm still a beginner.
I was thinking about getting:
Brachypelma smithi (spiderling)
Avicularia avicularia
Avicularia versicolor
-I would like the B. smithi because weather its male or female, I'll have it for much longer than the others. Plus, I want to try a spiderling.
(Will they feed on pin head crix?)
-I like the A. versicolor because its just beautiful, and I would like the challenge. Plus the cage would be fun to make. (How much do they cost?)
-I think it might be smarter to get A. avicularia because its more hardy than the versicolor. Also, a fun cage to make.
To give you an idea of what I'm like, I usually go above and beyond, (my g. rosea is in a ten gallon aquarium with multiple hides and a thermal gradiant in the cage). I don't believe in keeping any pet in minimum cage sizes, and I have fun making ellaborate cages.
However, I have no actual income, because I'm only 14 and I can't afford an expensive tarantula. I have enough money to feed the taranula and its crix, but thats about it.
*** By the way, I need to find that plastic screen for ventilation, should I buy one of the Avicularias, where could I buy some?
