Well, I'm back to school and prepping for my new classes, which has me in full teacher mode. While taking a break, I thought that it would be fun to design an assessment for all the tarantula hobbyists listening. In this episode, I present The Tarantula Care 101 Exam, a test with 33 tarantula care specific questions. Can you get an A?  

As luck would have it, the day after posting my podcast featuring some communal updates, I caught an amazing interaction in my M. balfouri communal enclosure. In this podcast, we discuss the significance of this behavior.

Also, I talk about the care for O. violaceopes.

In this episode, I share some updates on the M. balfouris, the P. metallicas, and my O. violoceopes. 

Over the years, I've heard some crazy stories from people about their tarantulas and tarantula care. In this episode, I go through some of the strangest things I've heard from other keepers. 

Recently, I did an unboxing video for an order from Swift's Inverts, and the two spiders I bought gave Billie and I quite the hard time during the rehousing. In this podcast, I talk about my awesome experience buying from Swift's and then critique what went wrong during the rehouse. 

To kick it off, we'll talk a bit about misinformation surrounding feeder insects. Then, we answer a listener's question about if it's a bad thing to have no fear of OW tarantulas. 

After Googling some tarantula topics the other day, it dawned on my why what I believe is a very simple hobby appears to be so darned complicate at times. 

To kick this one off, I talk a bit about the passing of my adult H. chilensis. Then, it's off to the main topic in which we discuss some of the measurements of my "giant" tarantula species and how they compare to supposed max size numbers. 

Well, Phormictopus species seem to be the new "it" tarantulas, which should be awesome. However, in this episode, I discuss my mixed feelings about their newfound popularity.

Also, in this episode I share the story of my P. formosa's terrible molt. 

And the FINAL part of this marathon discussion!
