Tarantulas and Spiders

No need for a different forum. We are nice here.
I would hope that any forum you went to with some knowledge of Ts would give you the same advice.

I'm so behind in the bug room.

:spid0r: :dance: just picked up my smithi & brazilian blk & whts. :dance: no freebies but for the price I couldn't care. I did get a serious discount on an additional 2" smithi that's in heavy premolt! Ill wait to post pics of her.

Rich: she made sure to give us all 3i of the blk n whts. Smithis are all 2i

Quit wasting time harassing newcomers on here and get to work. Haha. I've got over a hundred slings to ship out over the next few days. Most of which are yours. Lol. I've never straw packed before. Any suggestions to make it go smooth or recommended videos I should watch?

Sweet!! It will be forever before the smithi get any size but it will be worth it.

Can't wait!!

In other news :p
We have been talking to Nick Mutton. I think we might focus a little more on the Carpets :)
And the Louisville show is the same weekend as Tinley :( so lame.

I haven't seen any videos but this is what I do.

I took a small sheet of paper and placed packing tape on each side. Rolled it up into a little funnel.
I transfer the spider into an empty vial, then into the funnel. Most will "retreat" into the straw at that point.

Have all your plugs pre made and holes already poked.

Isn't that the author or major contributor of "The Complete Carpet" ? I'm gonna have to stay away from you. Lol I've already got more of a carpet project started than I have ever intended. Its just sooooo hard to pass on a good deal on excellent looking babies!

Yeah that's him, and with Will Bird in Louisville :p
Carpets are a favorite of mine.

Man nice circle to run in. If it was bps or retics it'd be like chillin with Ralph Davis or Bob Clark. Way to go! :gj:

Oh no! I meant other than the one I had been frequenting where I got that misinformation from :P
I went through your general T care sheet, but are there any species specific ones?
I found this guy I really like (he has 220 something Ts!) http://www.mikebasictarantula.com/sp...are-sheet.html
I'm thinking now a mexican pink or pink zebra beauty for a cuddly (or at least tolerant) spider. But I'd like a goliath bird eater and maybe a peruvian dwarf for "display" spiders :3

Most brachypelmas are semi tolerant of handling. And if you got bit it wouldn't be a huge deal since their venom isnt that potent. :)
