<p>For years, tarantulas designated as &quot;terrestrial&quot; were given a couple inches of substrate and a hide for a setup. Now, although this isn&apos;t necessarily wrong, I&apos;ve found that many of my so-called &quot;terrestrial&quot; species will continue to burrow right on through adulthood if given the substrate depth to do so. In this episode, I&apos;ll discuss how I&apos;m changing how I keep many of my terrestrial species and list off some of the ones that currently burrow as adults. </p>

A Rainbow of Spiders 2 - Some of the Most Colorful Spiders I've Kept

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.
