Reptileguy how long will you be living in a dorm?
Look into...
G. pulchra
G. rosea
B. smithi
If you'll only be in a dorm for a year or so, these grow very slow. Even slower if your room is cooler. My bug room stays around 80-82.
G. rosea 14-16 months ago

Couple of weeks ago. (Note the bottle cap)

They both stayed in the smaller box for over a year. The blue cap is off a 1 gallon milk jug to give you an idea of how big they are.

Now I would never ever break any rules :p but..... Something like that would fit in a dorm room.
You can still see through it pretty well but it's not like a display cage everyone would notice. If you do sneak one into a dorm, just make sure its not sitting on a speaker or near a tv or something.
They "feel" 1000x better than they can see.
I'm guessing you are around 18ish? With the right care you could be pushing 40 and still have your first T !
All of the above fall into that "good first T" category too.
** and thanks for the kind words.
I'll probably stay in a dorm for at least one year, two tops. How cool is too cool? I could try controlling the heat in the dorm, but idk if I can really change the temp.
Yup, I'm 18! That's true! Unless I get a male lol
Thanks!

Okiedokie the, so basically whenever I would need to put on a hoodie or something? In my house it fluctuates from 65 (night) - 72 (day) so.

Re: Tarantula Question(s)
Reptileguy, how old approximately, is that B.smithi in the last picture? About a year and a half? My B.smithi is at the stage right before that one...it hasn't shown its colors yet, still quite brownish, but Im betting in the next molt ill see some orange in the legs! Im trying to place an exact age as possible on mine...I got him/her from work.
Re: Tarantula Question(s)
Sorry Rich..:p i reread the posts and it IS your B.smithi lol...
