Tom's Big Spiders - Tarantulas and Inverts
A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.

Enclosures, Handling, and Protecting Males Revisited
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A couple recent comments on YouTube have compelled me to revisit the topics of enclosures and handling again.
Also, a hobby buddy of mine and YouTuber is putting together a very cool and ambitious video about breeding that I'll be contributing footage to, and it got me thinking a bit about how males are treated during breeding.
