Carnivorous plants and Tarantulas

I don't have a specific interest in then, more a broader one of natural history. I looked up your Avicularia and they look really cool, arboreal and then all have pink foot pads in that genus! That's a pretty cool fact. 

My nephew is into tarantulas, he had one a few years ago, but the heat pad malfunctioned and it didn't survive. After a few years break, he's got another one last week and hopefully a better heat set up!

I also looked up the Cephalotus, and wow, you grow pitcher plants! They look absolutely awesome, I imagine their care is very tricky, do you need to feed them insects too? We foolhardedly got a sundew once from a garden center but we aren't very good at looking after plants so it didn't last. 

Two really fascinating interests!

Awww, that sucks his tarantula died. Hope he has better luck with his new one. I did have a.bit of a phobia with spiders but had to look after some in a work setting and got interested in them and then bought some lol

Yeah, Sundews are easy to keep if you know how to keep them. Always best to re pot when you get them as the soil come in really isnt adequate and they'll eventually die. The Cepalotus are quite easy really, just peat moss and perlite....A.I is a good tool to learn how to grow.so stuff is optimum. I dont feed them bugs but I do feed them a follular spray to fertilize them
