  • Great video! You are way more relaxed and effortless in the second half of the DIY video. Just chillin on the floor working on the project projected a more casual real person feel that suits you well and has better flow. Thanks for all the work you do.

    Hello, Our pet tarantula “Chula” found us a couple of months ago when he appeared in our kitchen. We live in Sonoma County, California, so I’m assuming it’s a California tarantula(Aphonopelma smithi)? . I originally didn’t want to keep him, but ended up falling legs over heels 😉 for him/her. We have purchased a tank, have a water dish and substrate inside, with a warming pad underneath to keep the temp at about 70ish. We feed him/her “gut loaded” crickets. I’m just not sure we taking as good a care of him/her as we could. Not the most active spider, doesn’t burrow like I thought he/she would and read. Appears to shed a white powdery stuff now and then… recommendations and thoughts appreciated on how to take the best care of our new pet!

    • Congrats on your spider and what an amazing story! I’m glad you decided to keep him and provide a good home 🙂 Sometimes the lack of burrowing has to do with the type of substrate. I use Eco earth coconut husk fibre and my tarantulas love digging with it. But it all depends on the spider – some just don’t burrow. It sounds like you are taking great care of them! If you don’t already have a hide in the tank, that would be my only other suggestion – providing a hollow log or little cave for the spider might be much appreciated by the spider since they like dark secret places lol.

  • Hi Tarantula Heaven – Thank you for your good work on these magazines. In the past I’ve printed the PDF versions, but I want to know if your print versions are printed on special paper or have special binding and print clarity?
