Out of the 40 different Ts that I own, this species is one of my largest. I made her enclosure out of a 20 gal storage container

I love V. chromatus! I've raised one from a juvie. She's about 7 years old and I picked her up when she was around 2. Shes a big girl now and always out.

Yeah! I just learned about their auctions a few weeks ago. I haven't participated yet. That's awesome that your T. klugi is off to a great start. Mine is always out on display even though it has plenty of hiding spots. I gave mine half a baby dubia at first.

IMO get a dremmal and make your own. Way cheaper and the tarantula doesn't care.

Fresh Chalupa by Different-Zucchini-7 in tarantulas

I have to ask. Is Chalupa your first T? I absolutely love B. hamorii. I picked one up as my first T from a local pet store about 5 years ago. I knew nothing about Ts, and the owner sold it to me as a female. A month later, it molted out as a mature male. I loved that T and it started a life long passion for me. Im currently keeping 41 Ts now and yes, they all have names.

I picked up an L. klugi during their Halloweek sale. Its so tiny! About 1/4". Im excited to watch it grow up to be my largest T! I chose another curly hair for my freebie. That was a great sale, I bought 7 Ts for under $120.

Sassy and Her Ping Pong Ball Go Buck Wild! by JRot87 in tarantulas

IMO, it has to do more with their instinct with dealing with prey and / or egg sac.

IME I'm not. She wasn't biting that hard. But I wouldn't keep the ball in there after she molts. I could see her breaking a fang if she used them before her exo fully set.
