[QUOTE="Strix, post: 200642, member: 37711"] Hi all I was encouraged buy octanejunkie to make a intro thread and show you all my setup so.. here i am! New to the hobby, I used to be an arachnophobia but steadily got used to them oddly enough by watching YouTube videos. This in turn lead me to want to own one which I now do. I went for a Green Bottle Blue as i don't really feel the need to do any handling of the T and their colour is fantastic. A really beautiful display T. Anyway, I got an Exoterra enclosure with a few essentials the day i got him/her. I also had a LED light strip laying around with a remote control so i thought that would be perfect for a little bit of lighting while i look at the T.

I also prepared a little critter keeper for the live feed.

[IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/wBbCJw5L/IMG-20210828-121158-736.jpg[/IMG] Then it was time to finally add the T. Not knowing it's temperament nor being confident enough to do so I didn't handle it or put it in myself even if it is still only about 3 inches. I got him/her out safely and let it settle where it began to web up like crazy. I gave it it's first feed on the day as the shop said it was due on the day i picked him up... no hesitation at all!
