A personal welcome from a moderator? Well thank you. :] If it wasn't an absolute pleasure before, it is now. I plan on doing lots of reading and research. It's such a fascinating hobby. It wouldn't be nearly as interesting if there weren't so many firsts to experience and a plethora of new information to be learned.You have a lot to learn. There are many, many things wrong with Stan's husbandry advice for many species. Not to mention all the other issues with the book that he likes to present as fact and are in reality his opinion.
This quote is absolutely ridiculous. Common sense should tell you, you need to research the place the species you are keeping is from and mimic the seasons, temperatures and humidity for the spider to thrive. How does keeping a Brazilian rainforest species the same as a species from the Sonoran Desert sound OK to you? That is surviving(not thriving) and borderline abuse. Keep researching and welcome to the boards.
