I got my pet tarantula from there!,bought 3 of Costa Rica Zibra T....
I get the thermo-hygrometer from Lelong...

Yup!i like that idea to....and maybe we can have a BBQ while doing thathehehe....call it a Petpitcher Annual Dinner...."what a good idea though'

BTW,what is the ideal range of humidity for HL neps?

[zulteh279]

for now i don't have any HL neps yet....but i'm growing some plants in it....try and guess

[kevyn chan]

haha....thinking to have my first tarantula.....what do you suggest? slings or big female? just came back 2 days ago with some 'exotic pets'.....

[edwardyeeks]

H/L neps like daytime humidity of 70-80% and night time humidity of 100% (saturation). They grow best in these conditions. Are those some cute little VFTs I see?

Hopefully you can grow a villosa in there.

Try grow some helis in there


How do you get a fridge for that low price?

thanks
Harris

What 'exotic pets' did u get 2 days ago?....
well,i'm still a newbie in tarantula,this is my 2nd try.For the 1st time,i tried with Costa Rica Zebra sling,only manage to keep it for 3month.cost me Rm45 ...
Now my 2nd try,still the same T sp. and sling.But i bought 3 slings from exoreptiles for only RM25 each.Still having it for about a year already.In my own oppinion,i will suggest to try from slings and a beginner sp. because u can learn from experience how the T grow from sling to adult.
I'll post my T later in another section....

I notice that my fridge humidity is below 50% on daytime(lights on) and around 75% on nighttime(lights off).Should i install a humidifier/fogger inside my fridge to increase the humidity?

Nope,those are not VFTs....i'll give a hint,look at the pots plant label...
