You really should try and get a count for us. I swear some people collect Tarantulas like I collect Comics! I'll be happy with 5 T's max I'm assuming. Hell, I'm happy with the 1 I have right now. Although, I am looking at getting a second T soon.

I had no idea you were such a neat-nik. ;P Very nicely done. Finding containers that work well for your needs and sticking to them obviously helps to organize things. You're my hero. Hugs to that GF.

I'll do better than that. For a free orange fringe sling (I'm optimistic for you), I'll count, label, and give belly rubs to all of your Ts. Throw in an eventual Aussie goliath sling and well, we can keep talking :}

I remember when I first got into T's, I used to go down to the reptile shop by my house every week & clean/feed/water all the invert tanks and incubate the leopard gecko eggs just so I could interact with the tarantulas!
They hooked me up with their old critter keepers though and free rats for my blood python, but I just did it to check out all the bugs

Very nice! I am jealous. I was wondering what type the tall containers on the left are.

I don't sorry!
Haha thanks for having faith in me lol!I really hope to pull that breeding off as its prob without a doubt one of the most important projects I have in the works!
The tall containers on the left I use for burrowing species.You can get these from the container store website or in there retail stores.There called pour and store containers and come in 3 sizes.I melt holes in the top for ventilation and holes in the bottom for drainage when I flood them out.Housing fossorial spiders in these works excellent and once they establish burrows you can almost always see the spiders.No more "Petholes"! (I hate that term!)
Heres a photo of a large one up close:

Flooding 'em never works for me, they always just sit under water until I tickle 'em out
What kind of substrate do you use? Potting soil? (I'm sure you've probably answered this question 100 times)

I flood the containers usually about once a year when they dry out.The holes on the bottom allow me to drain all the water out.I can also place the whole container in a bucket or bin of water and let it soak in thru the bottom.Flooding 'em never works for me, they always just sit under water until I tickle 'em out

I use peat moss for substrate.
