First Tarantulas

[newspiderdude]

So I finally put my order in with Swift Inverts, and I'm super thrilled. I ordered 2x 1/2in A. Hentzi and his two 7oz terrestrial enclosures and he threw in a 3rd hentzi, ~20 feeder cricket babys, and a 3rd enclosure. 10/10 would actually recommend Kelly in the future

Very nice, have fun watching them grow up! I had one of these years ago I caught when I lived in Oklahoma, and I would get a million more! Great species, but beware, aphonopelma are a gateway drug lol

Welcome to the hobby & the forum. And a great choice, the hentzi's are great T's, just be prepared for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong wait for them to grow.

I was kind of hoping for that, because I want to attempt to get their full 30+ lifespan from em

I had trouble deciding between A. hentzi and A. chalcodes, but my recent move from colorado where the A. chalcodes are native to OK there A. hentzi's are kinda decided for me, I wanted the best chances going forth
