A couple pics from the spider room

I've been sick most of this last week so pics weren't the first thing on my mind. However, I did manage to get shots of the slings that had molted to the 1st instar stage:

Hysterocrates gigas:

Poecilotheria pederseni:

Once you get the basics down I think it is pretty easy. We have a separate temperature controlled room for the arachnids and I think that helps quite a bit.

What do you feed the babies? Or do they not eat till they are slightly bigger?

They still have one more molt to go before they begin eating. Once they begin eating I feed them newborn roaches.

Ive been so interested in breeding tarantulas ever since I got my first one 5 years ago. I just don't think thats the best with me living in an apartment. How hard is it to separate them into their own containers?
