Tom's Big Spiders - Tarantulas and InvertsAuthor: Tom Moran
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. Its safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. Im NOT an expert, and Im currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that Ill still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what Ive information and techniques Ive 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.

Happy New Year! First, we'll discuss a listener question about whether or not tarantulas can "learn" to accept handling.Then, this species has been described as "aggressive", "nasty", and even "evil," which is laughable. In this episode, I will break down care and my experience with the wonderful and unfairly maligned T. vagans or "Mexican Redrump."
