Tarantulas and Spiders

Ishy giant spider that was on the door to the crawlspace under the house. Sorry its blurry. It was raining and didnt want my phone to get wet. But thanks to you folks, I thought of this thread when I saw it. Lol. It was probably as big as a 50 cent piece with the leg span.

My versi is my friendliest T. Don't worry about him coming out. Here's my guy who snatched a roach and hung onto my tongs like a monkey. Then of course i had to sneeze RIGHT then so he fell and i caught him in my hand. Then he trotted back up onto the tongs again for this photo op lol

So yes. He will come out when you try and feed or water or open his cup for anything. But, if he's anything like my versi he's probably wicked friendly and chill haha

Ok. I decided against getting Wal-Mart dirt because it's full of chemicals. Whrre do you guys get dirt???

Hard to tell from that pic but doesn't look like anything that would be harmful.

I use coconut fiber.
Most pet stores have it. Come in a compressed brick, you add water

I buy my dirt mix from rich because i'm lazy and because i love getting packages from him <3

Random Question: does anyone keep those trapdoor spiders?? They seem like they would be a bear when it came to husbandry. Just curious

Trapdoors are awesome but you never see them. Between that and the vendors never knowing an age, I always pass.

Went in the bug room early and some things were out.
