Tarantulas and Spiders

Coco bark? Is it larger pieces or fine?
I do all my Ts on Peat and they seem to well.

It's very fine. One I have on pure vermiculite and it seems to be doing well burrowing and whatnot. Trying to find the best option before switching any of them. The internet has so many conflicting opinions.

I use peat for all my spiders. (Well sand for the sand spiders :p )

Such an impressive thread!!!

I am a catch and release when it comes to all insects, except those of invasive, not natural to the area kind.

I want to say it was fall/winter last year. We would see a few hobospiders here and there, no big deal catch and release. After my wife experienced several spider bites in the course of a few weeks, that led to staph infection my policy has changed. Those...dang things..die on sight. (Working on this word filter thing..) I'm not even nice about it anymore. Stunned with deoderant and cooked on my electric fly swatter. :colbert:

No problems with anything else really. I keep the tree spiders on my portch around and feed them an easy meal here and there. Good pest control if you ask me.

My A. avic right after it molted. She was a Christmas present from my brother.

Why'd this guy die?? Used to be one of my favorite threads to look at :tears:

Collection Update as well....

In my absence from California, my A. versicolor got stuck in a bad molt and died. RIP Octavius

Freshly molted A. versicolor.
