hey all...first time poster though i've been lurking for a while. my girlfriend and i have a new texas brown tarantula...and tonight he made his first kill! it's a big deal for us, it being our first tarantula (i've had many different reptiles, and have had scorpions and a couple of centipedes but never a spider). things seem to be going well...temps between 70-82 F, humidity 45-55%, several hiding spots, cage dimensions 24"X20"X12"...one thing we could use some advice with is what brand of thermometer/hydrometer do you guys prefer? i'm not especially pleased with the one i have now (accurite model 00891) even though i've used them for reptiles with no complaints before, the hydrometer doesn't seem too accurate. any suggestions would be welcome.
thanks,
nate & heather
