I only used petersons back in the 90's but haven't bought any updated versions, but they were def the best back then

Yeah it was proven it doesn't make sense because tarantulas don't eat the bones which is where all the calcium is.

my wife says the same about hers, if she ever gets bit by one of her pokies it will be the P.metallica. .

sounds like a lot of over reacting to me. use a pack or something with some reach to shoo it away, and go on about your day. If it wasn't for possible escapes and risks to other people near by, I would say let anyone who wants a poisonous snake fill his house with em' if he gets bit its his...

I honestly don't have an opinion, I am leery of jumping on the "to squeeze in tight places" band wagon just because that would be too easy, too obvious and nature is often much more complicated then we first imagine. I do wanna say tho we need more of these kinds of posts.

I will evaluate enclosures tonight with this info in mind and see what needs done differently. thank you. ---------- Post added 07-24-2015 at 12:06 PM ----------

yeah I know, I wasn't mad I was clarifying

actually I do not mist my avics cages at all, our avics have a pop bottle cap water dish, holes in the side of their enclosure and insect lids. the bigger the avics enclosure the bigger the water dish. our adults have 12oz deli cups for water. before the insect lids we lost quite a few avic...

I know this goes against everything everyone says, but I stopped losing my avic slings when I switched deli-cups to the insect lids. my opinion based on my experience and absolutely no scientific evidence is that the mesh covering the holes allows air to get through but holds in moisture. I have...

I was contacted by a Mary something or other on another forum in response to my add for local people to trade with, she claimed to have adult brachypelmas for $60 bucks. When I told her hey that price is good but I am looking for slings she then had all brachy slings available for $12 $15. I...

I apologize again for photo quality my phone is the best camera in the house, and I have just slightly less skill than Advan. it would appear that his eyes are still messed up. almost like some of them are just....empty.

APPEARS. he was still grey and shiny from his molt so didn't want to harass him too much. after work I will use my phone to zoom and check his eyes real close. kinda need to compare him to his sac mate which molted a wk ago, but that one never leaves its hide. The scratch in his head that...

well he has appeared to have molted out of whatever issue he had, I have not zoomed in for a real good look at his eyes but to the bare eye they seem ok. it was almost like the closer he got to his/her molt the worse the eyes got?

Nice! ive got two adult females I hope to breed

umm. well...I don't. I have/had a Paraphysa scrofa, and I thought phrixotrichus is the new genus its in? I know (or atleast thought I knew) the new name also started with a P and just assumed that was it.

the pic does not look anything like my scrofa, but I have ONE. and that is the extent of my experience

atleast one website did mention that it was host specific (which helped me relax), but you know how reliable everything on the web is lol

my L.P. is well over 12" and is no where near as aggressive or skittish as a T.blondi! lol im kidding mine are just about 1.5" but the above statement is what I was being told when trying to decide on a first T and why I headed to the expo in the first place, I was also told they were one of...

I use to love watching the ones at work. when they thought I got too close they would start to bob up and down in their web. maybe to break up their outline? anyway these are in fact the very spiders that made me think "you know? I wouldn't mind having a cellar spider or some sort of orb weaver...

according to the websites I found it does infact kill them, takes a while. seems like maybe they starve to death? hell I am getting nervous about going in my T room after being in that basement, but dif environments and it appears to only affect cellar spiders (but to be fair I searched for...
