First off, I'll soon be creating my first bioactive enclosures thanks to Josh Halter from Biodude. Josh and his company have just released Terra Aranea, their first substrate exclusively for use with inverts, and I'll be trying some out. I've had a LOT of folks ask me about bioactive enclosures over the years, so I'll be documenting my attempts at setting some up. This week, I received full kits for five different species, and I'm excited to try them out.

Secondly, I've been asked many times if there are any good tarantula guides out there for new hobbyists. With that in mind, I'll be reviewing "Tarantula Spiders as Pets" by Lolly Brown. Strap in, as this one is a humdinger!
