:drool: :drool: :drool: :worship: :worship: :worship: :clap: :clap: :clap: that set up rules botar, excellent T room. that must be fun when it comes time to feed

First...let me say thanks Botar. Then let me say, nothing! I'm pretty much speechless!

That's just awesome. To see not only so many Ts in one place, but to see them so nicely arranged.

Do you have any T that you have in display cases? I imagined that once someone aquired "X" amount of tarantulas that the majority would be in plastic shoeboxes, tupperware etc...but I always wondered what species, would be the favorites to get displayed, and what type of display tanks they get.

I know you're pretty busy, so I appreciate your time and effort. Thanks again.

@ Gsc - Winter temps are low 70's and summer temps are upper 70's to low 80's. I heat with electric space heaters when I'm out of the room and a propane space heater when I'm in it. I obtained the propane heater in case of power outages and decided to put it to use when I'm in the room. In my old house I had a room humidifier to keep humidity in the 40% to 50% range. In the basement, the humidity stays up and if it drops I pull the hose off the back of the clothes drier for a boost of warm, moist air.

@ shogun - It is ALWAYS time to feed. I feed pretty much continuously when I'm not shipping, unpacking shipments, or at a show.

@ Deschain - None are on display. A display tank would take up precious room and time. I have some favorites, but they all receive the same treatment.

5,000 T's. . .wow. Very impressive setup, thanks for sharing the pics. :worship:

I'm guessing you must use some sort of database/spread sheet to keep track of that many T's.

I have to say that I am speechless at that set-up

Hi Madeline,

could you please post a picture from the female(mother of the slings)?

Cheers,
Steffen

The mother is burrowed right now but when she comes out I'll take a picture of her.

Yes. At the moment I have them on a spread sheet. I've acquired Quickbooks POS, but I just haven't had the time to get it set up.

very nice. i can't imagine how many hours you put in a day botar. i dream of having something like that, but maybe on a smaller scale. but did you think that you would be at the volume you are at now back when you first started selling t's? i want to breed a couple speciesbut i'm going to wait till i'm more experienced. i've only been keeping for 2 years now. i'm looking foward to ordering from you when i get some extra $. your highly regarded on the boards. in awe :worship:

I didn't know what to expect and things just kind of grew on their own. At this size the business is somewhat like being a dairy farmer. You never get a day off and the hours each day are very long. However, since this is what I was doing in my free time before I retired, I don't mind doing it all day long now.

I think Madeline is planning on getting some pictures of the E. uatuman mom after school and posting them. She didn't have time last night as I had her working in the sweat shop again... feeding A. genic's. Thanks Madeline.
