    I had no idea how cool it would be to be shouted out, but that was really cool. Thank you! I got my first T yesterday, a G. Pulchra/Quirogai from Fear Not after a year of research and deciding which T to get. Not gonna lie, Shadow and Salem totally sealed the deal for me. They're so beautiful and funny! Thank you for your Channel and the inspiration! There's not enough women Tarantula RUclipsrs and I really appreciate you.

      Mine barely reacts to light touches if at all when I need to do something in her enclosure. Of course this means I can't book her paws or butt to get her to scooch out of the way if I need to, but it makes her the perfect tarantula to show to others to help them get over their fear of giant spiders.

    She's got a perfecte good hide and substrate to dig in, but nope, all she wants is a mossy blanket.

I had an OBT that webbed the entire enclosure up and pushed away all my decor to the bottom side under his web completely ignoring it all. Gave him a blank canvas of a cage so he could totally model it to his web tunnel desires and he went under the tiniest bit of cork bark, the only thing in there, shut himself in and never came out. Sat looking at a empty box of dirt for a few weeks before adding a cork round and skull just to please myself lol. He still hasn't come out to use anything or web... typical!

    I'm on my 1st T and I haven't had it very long. I got an Aphonopelma Seemanni and I was warned that they will dig a borrow and disappear for months at a time, but I put a skull hide in there that I half buried, and it only spends about half the time in there and the other half roaming around the enclosure or stuck to the wall. I thought maybe I didn't put enough substrate in there, I only had about 3" but I added more and nothing changed... My T is a juvenile (about 2.75") if that makes a difference.

    I have no idea of tarantulas but I do know that based off other RUclipses most tarantulas like damp vibes which I’m sure you know but coconut fiber is basically garbage for them if not mixed

    Hi Kat, Our T. vegans, Evil Amelia, has a very similar attitude! She likes to climb as well. We gave her a coconut hide and she loves it! Who'd a thunk! :)
