Hi,

I am a newbie to the Forum and also and novice to the Tarantula scene. I got my first 4cm Brachypelma Albopilosa on Saturday and yes, am very excited. So ja, any advice will be appreciated.

Have a great day and see you in the forum.

Welcome to the forum Dirk, I'm sure you'll learn a lot.
:dry: I hope you have enough pocket money... tarantula keeping is an expensive hobby, there is always one more T to get!!!

Thank you, will see how it goes. Lol

Yip, frootbat is correct. I started off with one T and then my mate gave me 2 for free Now i'm sitting on 9 T's and 1 scorpion

Welcome and enjoy, guys on the forums are very helpful and friendly. Some are trolls though so be ware <--- jokes.

Hi, thank you for the replies.

Ok, the heating map sounds good but where do I put it, underneath the cage or under the substrate?

Welcome Dirk...

Neither, NEVER under the enclosure. Put it against the side.
