Hello,
I am new to this site and trantulas. I have had snakes and reptiles for quite some time so i have a fair amount of experience with makeing display cages and controling humidity and temps. I have an extra 12" x 12" x 12" exo-terra and was wondering what would be a good T that would not out grow the tank? from looking around here noticed that the screen should be replaced with something a with bigger holes. my assumtion would be that if i started with a small T (a S'ling, i think is the term) would the screen work till it got larger then replace it later on? or should i change it immediately? Also i know exo-terras have openings for vents how big of a S'ling should i get so that i can not climb through them? they are small but i don't know if T's can squeeze through things or not. I would prefer a colorful species, aggressiveness is not a problem (i don't intend on ever handleing it, i just want if for display purposes only). Also are there any sites that have lists of T's species and pictures to go along with it?
I am not intending to get the T untill i have done my research and have the enclosure all set up. I have only done a little research and am just starting. these are only a few of the questions that have come up so far.
sorry for all the rambleing questions and thanks in advance for the advice and information.
I really like the way these look
Avicularia versicolor
Brachypelma annitha
Brachypelma boehmei
Cyriocosmus elegans
Cyriopagopus spec blue 2 Malaysie
Haplopelma lividum
Megaphobema robustum
Nhandu vulpinus
Poecilotheria fasciata
Xenesthis immanis
Pterinochilus murinus
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
to name a few
