    Homemade water gel...

    Is this a G. pulchra sling?

    Is this a G. pulchra sling?

    I got this sling at the NARBC show last October from Midwest and was told it was a G. pulchra. After several molts in my care, it has not turned black, but looks more like my G. aureostriata sling. Any ideas or comments from those familiar with these species?

    Jumping spider care info please...

    After some poking around on the web after a couple of suggestions here, I believe that what I caught on my balcony are indeed jumping spiders. Still trying to figure out genus and species, but they are really cool to observe regardless. At the moment each is in its own vial (I caught 2 of...

I already keep tarantulas as well as several herps. In...
