    Getting more

    Ok well I'm about to purchase three more tarantulas next week (because I want to have one of each species.

    So here are the three I'm going to buy and their sizes

    H. Lividum 2"

    Guyana Pinktoe (Avicularia avicularia)1.25

    Curvedhorn baboon (Ceratogyrus bechuanicus) 1.75"

    The only one I need any information on really is the C. bechuanicus.

    I read up on it and it says they are

    -voracious eaters
    -aggressive
    -fast
    -spiderlings will take a couple large crickets more than once a week.
    -dry substrate
    -Keep temperatures 75-85 F

    Is all this right?

    Wow, you have definitely been bitten by the bug!

    Your info sounds alright, I think, but I wouldn't give a large cricket to any sling. Nothing bigger than 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the spider.
    Rats in the hold. Crew is dead, I fear the plague.....
