    They're cool looking as babies too, a lot of species aren't as nice as babies. They also make crazy webs!

    STOP!!!!

    TOOO.......PRETTY...........

    I guess I may have to start with tarantulas.


    So, dumb question inbound: I HATE crickets; how big of a tarantula would I need to get so I wouldn't have to use crickets (or other insects) as a food source??

    You can use mealworms.

    Crickets or roaches with roaches being a better diet.

    Well earlier today probably yesterday by the time this post hits I promised pics of todays delivery. I had a major catastrophe today and it caused a delay in me getting pics uploaded. i'll explain that here in a minute.

    heres my delivery from Mike:

    little B. vagans at this point I think Mike and I are sharing this one until the sex can be confirmed.

    I got 3 of these guys in today but this is the only one I could get to hold still long enough to get a pic. P. cambridgei

    Ok so the horror pic of the day!

    I Picked up some B. smithi on my way home from work wednesday morning. Didnt think anything about it. just figured they would be fine in the vials she had them in. I found this little guy and had to push him back in. I checked all of the vials and I had 4 empty :( luckily I managed to recover one that hadnt left the shoe box but the other 3 are still M.I.A. I contacted the person that I got them from and they were great. I'll be getting my replacements the next time I go through there town. so needless to say I transferred 47 little slings today. plus the 4 I got from Mike.

    I don't know of any really good sites that have all of them with pics and care.

    There is! I don't know just how accurate it is, but he has all of the ones he's cared for (150-200?) with scientific and common names, pictures, and a fairly in depth run over on how he cared for that species.

    I found him by accident, and I think he's awesome 8) his care sheets are what I'm basing my choices off of now
