Roaches Huh? I actually haven't even thought about that? What all do you need to get a colony going? I.e. enclosure,food? And also. What kind if roaches?

Hello all! I have a question about buying some feeder crickets. Most sites I've seen sell crickets in bulk, usually 100 minimum. I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that sells small quantities (10-25) of adult crickets. My LP has outgrown petco's biggest crickets they sell. Thanks all

I remember a couple months ago I came home from work and saw my LP half way up the side of his enclosure!!! I didn't think they climbed much being a mainly ground based spider. I was afraid he was gonna fall! Thankfully he decided to stop being a daredevil and climb back down!:D

I usually just use the light on my phone if the room light doesn't light up where the spider is (i.e his hide).

Hahah thats awesome!! I can't wait for mine to be that big!!! He just molted and it's 3"

That's crazy how small they start out compared to how huge they get!!!

My LP just molted avout two days ago. And didn't show any spots on his back that I could see. And his abdomen was huge. One day he refused food. And 3 days later molted.

I never even thought about owning a spider or even considered getting one, but after seeing one in a pet store while browsing for dog food, I just sat there and watched it for about 15 minutes. Once I went home I just could not stop looking at pictures of all the different spiders out there! So...

Thanks all for the answers! Much approcated. Basically from what I hear it can be a week or two, or whenever the fangs darken. I checked on him this morning to make sure he was ok, and he was laying down inside his hide just chilling. And I just now saw him right near the water bowl with one leg...

Right in thanks. My concern was him starving. His abdomen was so big before he molted and now it's so empty! Crazy

Here is a pic of him. Kinda hard to see him in detail cause he is in his hide

Hello all! So last night my LP finally molted for the first time since i got him. And i was able to watch it happen. It was AWESOME to see. Anyways, my question is how long until I feed him some crickets? His fangs are still red. But his abdomen is almost like a deflated ballon. So I'm sure he...

Any time. Thanks again guys :)

Agreed. As I said I'm still very new in this area. And all information is appricated :) good examples as to why not hold it and good reasons also

Thank you all for this useful infromation! I appricate it! Being a new T owner it is always nice to have all of you to warn me before i do something harmful to me or the spider. I do want to hold him very much, but after reading all this information. I decided not to for now, maybe in a year or...

Hello all, Today I'm going to see if I can get my male LP (about 2 5") to allow me to handle him for the first time and am seeking any advice as how to get him safely out if his cage. I've read all the ways on this forum. And the method I feel most comfortable with is when you have them walk on...

I had a question reguarding this post. It may seem kinda of beginner knowledge, but I am a beginner and would like to educate myself. When you mention light sensitivity. What exactly does that mean, as far as if you used a white led light vs a dim redled one like suggested.

Right on. Thanks! I read a while ago to make sure they eat it all. But I've looked and can't see anything. And that's what I keep hearing that they are pretty resilient and hardy. Which is good cause it's my first one. :)

Sorry my bad I should of my L Parahybana. I've never seen him come all the way out in a while. But then again. I'm not there all the time. Ha

Hello all, my T spends most of its time during the day (and night) in his hide, whenever I feed him he usually waits till its near and pulls it in and eats there. Should I take his hide off and check under it to make sure there isn't any cricket remains or anything else? Or just leave it be?
