    I always recommend your channel when people who are new to the hobby are asking about rehousing their tarantulas. You make everything look so easy. You're so appreciated in the tarantula community.

    Garter snakes!!! They're communal, they do better with other garters, there are so many different colors of garter snakes. They're harmless and fun to watch because they're inquisitive and active. Everything about keeping them is simple.❤

    • @TarantulaHaven
      @TarantulaHaven  9 місяців тому +1

      That’s a thought. It’s been a while since I’ve had snakes. My very first snake was a garter snake. Still thinking. Thanks for the suggestion! 🤓👍🏼

    Very well done for educating the children and their parents, you have possibly stopped them from ever being scared of spiders I wish someone had took the time like this with me when I was a child as growing up I was terrified & couldn't even look at photos of spiders but luckily I over come my fear and now live with over 100 new world species, you are ace 😊❤

      Aww, thank you. I loved this AnimalCon. A lot of good memories and you were one of them. I had a couple of meet and greets last year but they were both no-shows. I look forward to seeing you again. You’re the best! 😊🫶

    My suggestion for the big tank is an isopod and millipede bioactive terrarium. you could do a multispecies communal.

    • @TarantulaHaven

      That’s a thought. Although if I have dart frogs I could have isopods in there. Food for thought. 🤔

    Anoles maybe? You just have to be careful and only have one male. I have an anole that was a stowaway in a flower arrangement from Florida last year. I didn't really want it, but have since gotten quite attached to it. 😆

    • @TarantulaHaven
      @TarantulaHaven  9 місяців тому +1

      LOL! I had one as a pet when I saw 10. I felt so bad because I had no knowledge on how to keep them. The poor thing died after a couple of weeks. They’re all over the place here so I’m always looking out for them. The green ones are sacred at my house because they are outcompeted by the brown anoles. I don’t think I could bring myself to keep one in captivity again. 🥹

    • @TarantulaHaven
      @TarantulaHaven  9 місяців тому

      I already have a balfouri communal, so no I’m not going to use this enclosure for one. I don’t believe in huge communals because it’s impossible to tell how many you have and if everyone is getting fed. Not to mention the amount of food you have to drop in to make sure everyone is fed. I’ll keep a small communal but nothing major.
