Using Substrate and Prey from Outside and Wire Mesh - What are the Risks?

Okay, so this was supposed to be part of last week's episode, but my voice didn't hold out. Still, as last week dealt more with issues in the home, this one deals more with setups. In this episode, we discuss the risk of using prey or substrate from outside. We also tackle wire mesh in tarantula enclosures.

Om Podcasten

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.
