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 stil ...

A couple of years ago, I stumbled on an article about the "inadvertent domestication" of animals raised for the sole purpose of being released back into the wild. This is when, despite our best efforts, captive animals were becoming inadvertently domesticated by temporarily or even permanently adapting to a captive environment , which was making th…

I've been doing this a while now, and there is one occurrence that I will never understand...when keepers ask for advice and then ignore it. Luckily, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, the results can be quite tragic. In this episode, we'll discuss a few of the more egregious experiences I've had with this type of behavior.…

Within the past couple weeks, I spoke with two teenagers who were interested in getting their first tarantula. Both had many questions about where they should start and what they should prepare for. In this episode, I lay out several things anyone thinking about getting a tarantula should do...and some things that they shouldn't.…

The Spiders return from Inverness with another win over the Highland side, in a game that will go down in history as one that took place, so there's not too much for the boys to get into apart from the usual good feeling a win brings. Instead, we take a look at the January transfer window incomings and outgoings, and we hear from Matt from the Hold…

Recently, I've received some comments on my YouTube videos with folks saying that my tarantulas are "skinny" or "underfed", which left me a bit confused. However, after speaking with a hobby friend, I realized that, through social media, many folks new to the hobby may be exposed to photos of chubby Ts. For many, a spider with a bloated abdomen is …

The boys are back after a break over Christmas, the day after a brutal injury-time winner for Airdrie in the latest Championship match, which may have had an effect on our morale going into this one. Plenty of games to talk about, a look at 2023 as a whole for the mens team, but finally a little bit of good news as we also discuss QP Women's season…

First, I have an important message from the US Tarantula Sustainment Project. Then, we're going to have a little fun. In this episode, we'll compare and break down two species that are often confused for each other, the C. cyaneopubescens (GBB) and the D. diamantinensis (Brazilian Blue Beauty). Which spider is the "best"? Who knows! But we will att…

Having just rehoused my juvenile Eresus walckenaeri (Velvet Spider), I figured that it was time to talk a bit about how I care for it. Also in this episode, is the current Jumping Spider and Velvet Spider social media fad and rampant anthropomorphization leading to decline in overall appropriate husbandry in the spider hobby? I'll discuss what I fe…

After a week off that some may call a mental health check, David, Enzo and Calum are back to discuss the brutal defeat to Raith Rovers at Hampden that some of us couldn't even stick around to watch.

Last week, I had a few folks contact me a bit upset that there was no episode for Sunday. And, to be honest, this happens every time I miss a week. Although I completely understand that this podcast has become very important to folks for a myriad of reasons, I thought that it might be a good time to explain why I do the Tom's Big Spiders stuff . In…

Another week, another podcast, and thankfully another improving performance to discuss, this time the 2-2 draw with Partick Thistle at Hampden but it really should have been more for Queen's.

It feels a bit like 2022 again as David, Enzo and Calum bounce from one Friday game to another, reviewing the 1-1 draw against Airdrie before looking ahead (rather nervously) to this weeks Glasgow Derby with Partick Thistle at the home of Scottish football. And speaking of being nervous, they also take time to discuss the Marijn Beuker to Ajax move…

First, I read a listener question and talk about last week's episode. Then, I get a lot of emails and comments from panicked keepers who are alarmed to discover that their arboreal slings and juveniles are actually burrowing. The fact is, MANY arboreal species will do some burrowing as slings and juveniles, and the correct setup should allow for an…
