Starting in this hobby? Know why most beginners drop their balls after 2weeks

Summary: (READ more to know WHY)

*Having 1 tarantula leads to quitting after 2weeks (For most)
*Its better to buy MANY cheap tarantulas instead of ONE tarantula but expensive
*as a beginner buy atleast 5 tarantula slings (it doesnt have to be assorted, it can be 4pcs Curlyhair and 1pc of your choice)

Most beginners think that if they buy a tarantula it must be an inch or in its Juvenile stage because they think it is more fun or more easy to take care, Well my opinion on that.... Yes it is true but that is also the reason why most beginners quit on this hobby after 2weeks! (Too fast)
wondering why??? well the answer is:
The fun thing in this hobby is to see how our tarantulas develop from a size of a grain to a size of your dinner plate! :D but since most beginners are buying juvenile tarantulas, they dont know that it takes 3weeks+ (Depends on the specie) before a progress can be achieved (Molting)

So i suggest to those beginners reading this and would like to stay for long on this hobby to buy at least 5 tarantula slings (Buy Curlyhairs -its cheap yet docile). Im not saying this to rip off your wallet or to destroy your piggy banks. Im saying this because you need to FEEL the excitement when  you are actually seeing your tarantula Progress! having 5 SLINGS will give you better chances to witness these "progress" (Do some stuffs that you can say wow! :) sorry but i will not tell you what things are those ;) Just keep your tarantulas and you will discover it yourself!

*I assume that as a hobbyist you respect your tarantula's behavior, and you know that there is no such thing as "Tamed tarantula"
always bear in mind that they run or fight if threatened!

Best tarantulas for beginners to Choose from:
I consider: EASY TO TAKE CARE OF, Price, Looks, attitude,

Brachypelma Albopilosum (Honduran Curlyhair)
- this tarantula is one of the cheapest yet docile specie available in our hobby, adding them on your collection is a must.

Brachypelma Smithi (Mexican Red knee)
- Behind its fascinating colors and docile attitude is a hair kicking habit :) i noticed that once it reached 4inches it tends to kick hair more often thats why i am no longer handling them onced they reach that size

Brachypelma Boehmei (Mexican Fireleg)
-This tarantula is one of the most popular tarantula for beginners because of its docile attitude and its colorful legs.

Grammostola Rosea / Porteri (Chilean rose tarantula)

- This tarantula is underated seing them in pictures can make you say that they are just normal tarantulas. But seing them personally will surely make you want this ;) They are docile and colorful but grows slow

Grammostola pulchripes (chaco golden knee)

- This tarantula is docile and occasionally flick their hair when handled.

Lasiodora parahybana (Salmon pink tarantula)
- Grows fast and can reach upto 10inches+

Misting

Misting is a process on where we are spraying water on substrates to make it wet and to raise humidity on the enclosure of our tarantula

why we must mist/Spray water:
* Usually misting is need when our tarantula is on Premolt to aid her in molting.
* To raise humidity
* To let our slings drink some water (For Juvies to adults, water dish must be provided)

Basic setup for Brachypelma Species

 NOTE: This guide is for Brachypelma Juvies upto adults

Basic needs of your Brachy:

* Hide
* Water Dish
* Dry Substrate, Misting
* Decorations =)

Hide
Hides are essential on almost all Tarantulas, when they are stressed or threatened by us they only have two things in mind and that is Fight or Flee. You dont want your T to run outside its enclosure right? so better give them some hides to retreat when threatened.

Coconut shell, Broken pot or anything will do as long as they can hide inside

Water Dish
Brachypelma species loves to live in dry substrates which makes them rely on their food for water, so we need to provide them to water dish so they can drink if they need to and to avoid Bad molts which can cause death to our T. Water Dish also raises humidity in the enclosure of our tarantulas which aids them in molting.

Dry Substrate and Misting
Almost all Brachypelma Species are found in mexico which has a cool to hot climate so in setting up the enclosure for your brachys you need to keep their substrate dry.
although some Species needs to have a higher humidity try misting the other side of its substrate

Decorations
 Of course we like to make the enlosures of our tarantula to stand out and be as attractive/cool as possible so we need to decorate it, common decorations used are:
Bones,
Skulls,
Driftwoods
Stones
As of now we dont have this on our for sale Section, but you can find some on your backyard if none then just be creative!

 BTW i do not suggest this setup (too many branches Standing) Brachypelma species are terrestrials so they stay most of the time on ground not climbing like the arboreals


Thats the basic needs of your brachypelma buddy, so Good luck! happy invert keeping! :3
