@Jess S Hi. Thanks for your comment. Pardon me delay in my response; I'm a television and film actor in LA, and it's television pilot season; hence, I've been busy with my agent and manager working on getting me competition ready for my auditions. Yes, I really love the little guy, and he is...

Hi, @Rs50matt thanks for the tip. I'm gonna hit the Reptile Show in Anaheim, CA, on 4-January-2020. The coordinator mentioned at least 6 tarantula vendors will be present. If I come across the slings, I will make my purchase for two of them per your recommendation.

@m0lsx understood. Well, since I'm in no immediate rush, I figure I by the time Arogog gets to be >= to 3", I figure the Homoemma Chilensis, hopefully, the juevenile and adult males and females, will be more common and more available for purchase. I'm speculating within the next two years, if...

Hi, @Konstantin. Thank you for your kind comment. I can write out and draw the design plans for you. I built it with the designs and visions in my mind; I can definitely draft a design doc for you. Yes, you are correct...the Brachypelma Hamorii is definitely a slow-growth animal; so, as I...

Hi, @FishermanSteve. Thank you for your kind comment. The Homoeomma Chilensis seems to strike my fancy; however, Arogog seems to keep my mind occupied in that I can't wait until he starts showing adult size and color. What are your thoughts?

@ilovebrachys Thank you!

@Hemolymph Thank you!

@Foxspider I'm sure your Bassett appreciates it -- I find using the Dremel so much better than using clippers.

Hi, @Foxspider. I used the Dremel to file down my Retired Racing Greyhound's nails, too. The Dremel tool is one of my most used tool these days; and, I used it in the construction of my big enclosure. I had the panels cut to my measurement. I don't have a table-saw; so, I would not be able...

Hi, all. I am new to this activity; and, recently, as of 18-December-2019, @ 1307 Hours PST, I purchased my first tarantula: Brachypelma Hamorii: spiderling: DLS 1.75" with slight bend to both legs: ~2-2.5 years old. I spent ~4 months researching tarantulas; and, once I committed to purchasing...

@Enn49: Thank you, so much, for welcoming me...I will be asking many questions, as I learn more about Arogog and observe his behaviours. I like that he faces my direction whenever I open the lid to his enclosure...he has been a pleasure to have in my home during the past week. Initially, I...

Hi, all. My name is Alfonso Faustino. After doing ~4 months of researching tarantulas, on 18-December-2019, @ 1307 Hours PST, I purchased a Brachypelma Hamorii spiderling; I named him Arogog. He is my first tarantula. I'm really happy with him; because, he doesn't hide; he is calm; he seems...
