Description

Just in case the first episode didn't convince folks to follow, here is a bonus episode to kick things off! In this installment, I answer questions posed on my Facebook page about various tarantula topics. Questions include: What is your oldest tarantula? How do you spot premolt in Old World species? If you could see any tarantula in it's natural habitat, which would you choose and why? What are nematodes? What are they, how do Tarantulas get them, and what can we do for them if they do? Do you intend to do another communal? If so which species and why?

Also, an interesting article on nematodes: http://www.thegreenscorpion.com.au/documents/Nematode%20Worms%20and%20Tarantulas.pdf

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. This blog is a bit of a journal to track my interest in the hobby and to share some of the information I’ve learned. 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. I also regularly update older posts with current photos, observations, and information. However, this is an ever-evolving hobby, so I implore anyone interested in keeping these animals to use whatever they find here as a springboard for further research on techniques or species-specific care.
