What is the best way to house a A. seemani? And what are some good facts to know about his species. And I try to post pics but it just shows a red x.

The same way you would house a Rosea. Here's the started links.

A basic set up of suggested substrate (The empty space in enclosure should be no more than 1.5 X the length of the T's leg span) fresh water, and a hide. Size of enclosure varies on your T size.

I know occasionally people will mist these species. I'd recommend not doing it often.

Thanks :D. I will start misting the cage atleast once every week. I usually keep the humidity 65% ( is this alright? )

They like to burrow but if u want, provide a hide and he/she will probly stay in it. Subtrate shouldent be dry but not wet, just lightly moistend but more on the dry side. temp is pretty much standard as u can keep any t. They are hardy t's. Dont eat amazingly ammounts. they will go in premolt for sometime like a rosea. In general they are fairly simmlar to a rosea but they can burrow, Mine never did and just made use of a hide(the subtrate was there for a burrow thoe) They are a good for a 2nd or 3rd t for sure as they are a much faster then a rosea. Also they are pretty skitish so be carefull when ur doing stuff in her/his tank. it would suck to have it run out and into your house lol. Enjoy your seemani. they are beautiful spiders when full grown

Actually dry substrate for this species is fine.

Humidity in all reality, is NOT the most important factor with a tarantula. (Obviously, there are species who prefer it a tad more.) But I'd say twice a week would be fine. In my opinion, this is more for the option of hydration than anything.

Or you could just make it easy, and flood the water dish once a week.

Substrate should NOT be moist.

did u find the t like that?. And in all raelity, humidty, subtrae dryness/wetness does not mkae a huge diffrence as in the wild it verrys often. But this it not the wild so we can control some things such as dryness of subtrate and so forth. So just keep it on dryish subtrate with maybe a ltitle moisture from spraying the tank every once and awhile. Have a waterdish adn dont really worry about the humidity. The humidexes are nto right half the time and its more hastle to sit thre trying to maintain perfect humidity lol

Again, this is my opinion from my experience and from what I've learned from others experiences as well.

Tarantulas are very obviously not kept in the same conditions as they would in their naturla habitat. In that sense, it can become redundant to point out things found in nature.

In MY experience with A Seemanis and from being around those who also have them, I've never seen them kept at a high or even moderate humidity level. Just because you CAN keep something alive a specific way, doesn't necessarily mean you should, or that it's benefiting the creature.

Everyone's over the net drama,I suggest you do so as well.
For you, and others, to hold such a volatile grudge against someone ON THE INTERNET, is someone ackward and un-necessary.
If you have something to say or an issue that you feel needs to be attended to, feel free to PM me.
I've opted to keep this crap off the boards, as no one else cares.


Back to the original thread now.

I don't know what's going on here, but I don't see *her* bringing some kind of juvenile grudge match into this thread - just you two. I imagine the admins will see the same thing.
