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.
