First, your pics....wow. Thank you for sharing. How do you open up the top of the arboreals setup if there is webbing near the top? I would feel guilty if I wrecked Kamani's hard efforts. Especially since hers is looking more and more like a tunnel. I am worried about her setup being a bit large in terms of her being able to hunt the crickets I put in there, but I like the front opening doors......

I am so taken with the A. versicolors!! I have drooled over them in my new tarantula book and yours are absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe how small the slings are. I can see what you mean by them being so fragile-how could they possible survive being shipped? However, I discovered one for sale at my local pet store. Rather, it says "Antilles Pink Toe". It is on sale for $90, down from $120. I can't get a good look at the actual tarantula as there is a lot of webbing in the setup.

Your juvie L.P. looks really neat upclose. How big is she right now? An 11.5" male you had?? I'm not sure how that big of a spider would go over in this house...but I will do some more reading on them for sure.

Would Kamani be able to handle a hissing roach do you think? I'm not sure if I could get the roach to climb the silk plant I have....she might like the treat and I have 18 of them on top of my entertainment unit...with more on the way....Very neat to see the pic sequence of your G. pulchra hunting. That is a gorgeous looking spider, too. I am starting to understand your love of tarantulas.

I will keep Kamanis' tank misted and her dish topped with water. I have yet to see her drink, but she is obviously quite busy once the lights go off at night. Her tunnel is coming along very niely. When I go to the lake this Saturday, I am going to check out some tree bark and possible bring some home to make a hide for her. I've already taken measurements from the outside of the tank, but she still didn't like the tape measure. Now, back to my tarantula book...which is also coming with me to the lake!!
