Gift Ideas for Tarantula Breeder?

[ksed09]

My brother recently started breeding Tarantulas, although he’s owned all kinds of reptiles and arachnids for years (he has an entire room dedicated to them). What would be an awesome idea for Christmas presents for him? What’s something a new breeder/experienced hobbyist would LOVE but maybe not buy themselves unless they have a bunch of money? I appreciate any ideas! Even the everyday need kind of things. I want to get a few different things! Thanks!

Panty hose...It's always awkward purchasing them.

How about a T. seladonia? Wouldn't be a cheap gift.

I am always misplacing my tongs/forceps that I use to drop food into the enclosure and to pick up unwanted debris and water cups for rinsing out. They make some light weight ones that make it easier to grip prey without crushing them.

A microscope is useful for sexing slings or small molts!

How about a non-contact, infrared thermometer?
I use it for monitoring the temperature in and around the inside of my incubators

I would suggest a really nice bong w/ water filtration. I bet that your brother would really appreciate it ! It sounds like he has everything else covered.

Microscope would be something I would love to have. Either that or more of slings.

I think microscope would be a great idea, if he does not have one. It could be used for sexing Tarantulas among other things.
