I've been getting a lot of questions about the symptoms known as DKS lately, so here are my thoughts on the topic. Also, we discuss cross ventilation in tarantula enclosures. NOTE: Although I didn't say it in the podcast, DKS is not a disease but a set of symptoms. We are not sure what exactly causes it at this time.

DKS Revisited and Cross Ventilation

A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.
