Tarantula goals!!!

[JDeRosa]

I'd like to see your KB enclosure!

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

My goals, to be completed within the next year or two.
-Get my hands on a few slings of pederseni and striata since I don't have any yet.
-Establish a couple more poecilotheria communals. Will most likely be miranda or regalis. I would really like to try subfusca or formosa as well.
-Breed my p. ornata pair. I'm waiting for both to molt, should be in 1-2 months. This will be my first breeding attempt.
-Further down the road after the attempt with the ornata, I will attempt to breed the rest of my poecilotheria collection. First will probably be the subfusca followed by the formosa, then rufilata.
-Find out the sex of my p. metallica. Find the opposite sex of it and breed them too It should molt here in the next few days and should be nearing the 5" mark. I should surely know the sex by then.
-Get my hands on a couple more a. fasciculata and a. geroldi.
-Breed my versi, purpurea, gbb, subcaeruleus and my blue fangs.
-I know it is probably going to be close to impossible but I would also like to get my hands on an m. balfouri, l. sp. "borneo black", p. smithi, e. olivacea and x. sp. "blue". I'm not even going to get into the rest of my wishlist. lol
-Get a buttload more cages from tarantulacages.com. Pokies get big.

As you can see most of my goals are breeding oriented.

I'd like to see your KB enclosure!

If it is my KB enclosure then ill have to see if I can find a friend with a camera as the ones I buy keep ending up stolen.

Any ways I took a med KK about 8"Hx12"Lx6"W and I put a small Tupperware container 4"Hx8"Lx4"W and placed it lid down in the KK. Then I filled the KK with about 5" soil and made an indentation in one corner so she would start to burrow there. My KB is only just barely 2" and so its more then enough room for her to burrow in and so far as planed she is burrow against the wall so I can see her. Its really a very simple set up but fun for me because I can keep track of her better.

 

[Harlock]

-Learn more about my Ts
-Find and breed rare Aphonopelma species so we can have CB ones in the hobby
-breed my Ts and try communal set ups with some of the slings (my dream is trying OBT communal)
-Don't have a death I can't figure out the source of
-Get people who I know will take good care of Ts into the hobby

If your breedings are successful, you should have no problem purchasing the balfouri, etc.

It's funny because I have a balfouri, but you have fasciculata, cyanognathus, and some of the pokies I don't have yet but would like.

One day. Breeding first, then I'll splurge.

 

[Shrike]

My Ts are all fairly docile (although the rosea is occasionally psychotic):

A. metallica
B. albopilosum
G. pulchripes
G. rosea

I'd really like to take on a more intermediate species, probably P. irminia or cambridgei.

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

Key word, successful. I know they are high goals I have set for myself but they were even bigger before I thinnned my collection out.

 

[gecko_keeper/KBfauna]

I'm not one to talk about my goals outside of my home, but what the heck

1) have 6-8 females of all pokie species
2) have 6-8 females of all Psalm species
3) have 6-8 females of all Avic species

I'm sure there is more...............

GK

 

[the nature boy]

Get more mean ones and collect more pedes.

 

[stryder05]

My main goals are -

1. See my first molt by either my G.Rosea or C.Crawshayi.
2. Purchase GBB or A.Avic to extend collection
3. Handle G.Rosea at least once a day [only hold her once a week at the mo]

[pouchedrat]

My current goal:

-Collect as many different Cyriocosmus species available in the trade as possible.

-Watch everyone grow and be healthy

-NOT FEAR my blue fang, who isn't even an adult yet, but scares the living crap out of me!.

 

[WelshTan]

my goal is to not have any goals to avoid disappointment which is against my goal to expand my collection lol
