Thanks for the tips, i'l check out the spider shop but as for stuart i would rarther buy and pay online. Delivery would need to be a must unless close to stoke-on-trent staffordshire for pickup.

Buying from spidershop is the best option considering the distance from Staffs to Kent. irminia is a great spider and a good choice. I have attached a photo's of my Adult Female.

Good luck with your purchase.

it will come in a small plasic pot filled with tissue, you will need to supply it a tank it will only require a container about the size of large coffee jar to start with, my arboreals are in custom made tanks 45 x 20 x 20mm, but sweet jars or plastic cereal containers do just as well.

Attached photo of my regalis in her tank to give you an idea of size

Cheers chris that info is very helpful, I have built an acrylic arboreal tank and will be putting it in that when its old enough but what i am going to do is put a heat mat on the back of the acrylic tank and put the spiderling container in that as unlike alot of people i don't have a spare room for a spider room so they are in our living room. would that be ok.

Well i've ordered my Psalmopoeus irminia Spiderling from the spider shop so it should be here tuesday. Will this container be right for her or do i need anything else. Ive never kept a spiderling and i don't want to miss anything.

[chris carter]

Hi Steven

The container is fine, feed the spiderling one cricket per week to start with. Like i said i forsee a happy irminia.

[steven simcock]

will they have to be micro crickets or very small normal ones.

[chris carter]

Psalamopeus spiderlings are born quite large in relation to other species, They will readily take size one or even size two crickets.
