Got my first T today

[Rage Beard Reptiles]

So I picked up a Baby Trinidad Chevron (Psalmopoeus cambridgei) today at my local pet shop while I was picking up some supplies. T's never used to interest me until recently and it seemed like everytime I was in the shop I would find myself checking them out, so I decided to get one and see how they are. I'm interested to see this little one grow. It is a fast little bugger too! Also need some name suggestions. Dont know the sex yet to small.

Sorry it's a really crappy pick but I can't get a better shot at the moment I'm to worried it will make a run for it. As always thanks for your support and any advice is welcome.

They are fast!!

Make sure to read up. A Psalm as a first T can be tricky. But they are awesome!!

[Rage Beard Reptiles]

Ya I have been reading a lot.

I know they aren't anything to handle which is fine with me. I just like watching them anyway. Any tips 3skulls?

Give her something taller than wider. They can be arboreal but mine also likes to burrow.

Her cage is on the right.


Picked this up at The Bean Farm


Makes it easier to water.


When it comes time to transfer, mist down the bathtub, block the drain and do it in tub. Get rid of any clutter like shampoo bottles etc.
The wet tub will slow them down a bit if it takes off.

There are some good transferring videos and tips on YouTube.

I'm no expert but I love Ts and don't mind sharing thoughts on them.

Now the hard part comes, which kind to pick out next
