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.

M. Balfouri Communal Death and Are Avics More Fragile?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Okay, to kick this one off, I rant for a few minutes more about water dishes. Then, I had my first death in my M. balfouri communal. Next, my thoughts on whether Avicularia/Caribena deaths are due to poor husbandry or because these species are a bit more fragile.
