    Xenethis Intermedia (Female) - 24x18x12h or 36x18x12h Enclosure?

    Enclosure dimensions beyond the 2.5x guideline are a matter of keeper preference. There's probably a sweet spot. I've put large ts in jumbo enclosures, complete with plants and hides and so forth. This results in a t I rarely see. Of course, your mileage may vary.

    Xenethis Intermedia (Female) - 24x18x12h or 36x18x12h Enclosure?

    What a beautiful--and large--intermedia! How old is she? I have two intermedia I got as slings four years ago. I don't think they're half her size.

    Grasshoppers As Feeders

    Hi. I've purchased from these guys, and their animals are very hardy. Maybe they can help/advise. https://deanmissimer.com/

    Cubaris sp. ‘Panda King’

    Sounds like a great setup. Suggestions, and a caveat: Zucchini and cucumber, thin slices. They will nom cuttlebone for sure. Texas holey rock, aka honeycomb limestone, can also be used. They'll climb all over it, and it lasts longer. Repashy Morning Wood is good. Pricey though. And most...

    Review by 'kurgara galatur' on item 'NukaMedia Exotics - (formerly Mvtt70)'

    We see the name NukaMedia Exotics here a lot. Behind their frequent advertising you will find an excellent vendor. I've bought before and would do so again.

    Truth.

    Review by 'kurgara galatur' on item 'PoeciIotheria'

    First time I received animals with a "Fish and Wildlife form" attached. To quote Poecilotheria: ".. you can never be too careful. Any delay could lead to harming the animals' safety and that is not what I want." I like that.

    C. cyaneopubescens climbing despite bone dry substrate?

    yes to all of the above. Is there a heat source it might be sensing? Mine has webbed up the bottom of its enclosure and climbs the walls all the timetime--usually towards heat.

    I am a linguistic anthropologist by training, but not in practice, who is reducing the number of arthropods requiring my stewardship.

    Oh sweet jesus. Container store hat boxes

    "Sweet Jesus!" is right. I don't know why their design and material isn't more popular, except for maybe the price. The lids are relatively heavy and extend pretty snugly down the side--escapes are unlikely. I have three, two with vent holes made with a soldering gun. I would avoid drilling the...

    Review by 'kurgara galatur' on item 'Wizentrop - Gil'

    Bought some young whips (amblings?) from this too-infrequent seller. All went smoothly, animals arrived in fine shape, and wizentrop's professional academic knowledge was the reason why.

    Comment by 'kurgara galatur' in media 'Bravest of the Mice'

    That is a lovely picture, and I too like rodents. No doubt you are careful, and please be aware that a brave mouse may have parasites clouding its judgment. That might explain Ratatouille's protagonist's behavior. If this is unfamiliar search Toxoplasma gondii.

    Review by 'kurgara galatur' on item 'Joe Rossi'

    I had the privilege of meeting with Mr. Rossi to buy some slings. I got to our agreed upon meeting place late due to traffic and my ignorance. Joe was cool about it--at least I hope he was.... Yes...beautiful animals at a better-than-fair price. But they were less important than his wealth of...

    Review by 'kurgara galatur' on item 'Pinchers & Pokies Exotics, LLC'

    Purchased from Erik and Amanda a variety of arachnids--slings, scorplings, and...um...vinelings. They were very patient when I had to change my order, and they even gave me a discount for the size of the order. Package was secure and had a heat pack. Animals were healthy and vigorous, even...

    You can't train a centipede...

    Mastigoproctus, that was jaw-dropping and enlightening. Was this intuitive on your part, did you get them accustomed to you in slow increments, or did you just go for it? Do you consider the crix they take to be reward or distraction? I ask because I have a bunch of pedes and doubt I'll ever...
