Have you ever been curious about the tarantula hobby? Well, in this episode of Thinking Outside the Glass Box I am joined by Richard of the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and we talk about all things tarantula. Richard has been keeping tarantulas for over 2 decades, he hosts the Exotic Pet Collective Podcast and he runs the successful Tarantula Collective YouTube Channel.  We discuss the hobby, tarantula care, enclosure builds  and overcoming arachnophobia.  In fact, if you are an arachnophobe, I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. You may be surprised by how many similarities the tarantula and amphibian hobbies share.
