You must also keep the substrate moist,at all times, use a spray bottle with distilled water works best,usually a cage spray a few times a week,will help keep the humidity up to standards,its also good to keep isopods in your centipedes, to help clean cage,and centipedes will not harm isopods,in...

I have the same Centipede. I doubt the falls hurt, or killed the Centipede.i see some problems with your cage though. You need much more substrate, at least 5 inches, your cage looks really dry! Even though these centipedes can be found in desert settings, there lairs are anything but dry they...

Thanks for the advice!!! I thought so!!! I just wanted to make sure, as this is my first true spider!!!

Hi, I'm experienced at keeping Tarantulas, and I know it's usually @ a week after a molt for a Tarantula sling, before you can feed, but I wasn't sure about true Spiders so much, as this is my first? My feeling was, since True Spiders live shorter life spans than Tarantulas they might regenerate...

could be pre-moult or could be gravid!!! Either way you have a good looking scorp!!! I wouldn't worry about this!!!

and once you start mixing the three ingredients ,have a spray bottle besides you, with spring, or even better distilled water, and spray substrate and mix, and repeat until it looks moist throughout, also best to try to set up tank a few days before arrival, should always add isopods(little...

never use soil, get a coconut bedding aka eco-earth, or even better coco soft (which is organic), mix coconut substrate with moss, and I always mix in sand the dryer the species more sand, in this case with Asian, not much sand in the mix, provide a piece of cork bark and a nice size water dish!!!

All my T's eat Crickets as part of there diets,but Roaches seem to be my Kings Fav Food, and I can always here a Crunching Sound as Her Big Fangs dig into the roach, I also feed Mice/pinkies as treats for my spiders maybe a few a year, if your not around when they discard the bolus ,and get it...

I have a 6" female, and have owned more in the past, for the most part these tend to be skittish,and they have a unique defensive move,where they start to bob up and down to intimidate, if that wont work then they spin@ to hit predator with sharp spikes on there rear legs.They love to burrow...

I own 14 pokies, and for me the ornata is the most defensive. Even as spiderlings my ornatas would attack the paint brush during transfers.Out of my pokies ornatas are the biggest headache to transfer,due to its defensive nature.I prefer rufilata if I had to choose,both are huge, and among the...

King Baboons are notorious slow growers and can be finicky eaters as well also they can seal themselves in there burrow for many months,and surface with no ill effects. I own 4 Kings, and they go on eating rampages,then wont eat or seal themselves up for long periods of time.Recently I saw one...

Hands down the best burrower is Hysterocrates scepticus "Sao Tome Giant",I have a large collection I own a wide variety of,Chilobrachys sp. Haplopelma sp., Orinthoctonus sp.,Citharischius crawshayi,I have alot of the new aussie T's, they aren't full grown yet,but some of the slings are...

I'm sure a MM has harmed or killed a Female T before,but I never heard of this happening.I want to start breeding soon, but I don't want to risk the rare females I have like my M.balfouri female to injury or death from mating.I know the reward vs. risk factor,but these are my children so to...

Tarantulas went from my biggest fear to my biggest passion.Started with a rosie watched it for hours at a time.I said I wouldn't get this species or that species,now I got those and more.I said my collection would never go above 10,then 10 became 25,and 25 became 50,and now I have well over...

This has happened to me several times, and I usually wet substrate even more and wait a few days, and they always fall off for me this way.I think its best to let it come off by its self,spiders are more delicate so to speak after moults so give it sometime before you try to remove yourself,if...

Warm water for spot cleaning glass,and during total cage cleanings, and dirty water-bowls, I use an eco-friendly dish soap thats base is coconut oil, I always rinse well. I have over 200 T's so I use this stuff allot, and also for my boa constrictor and sugar gliders. All my pets are thriving...

T's are fairly tuff,the main thing to worry about is that they aren't in direct sunlight and temps don't get too hot in your car, make sure your substrate is moist and there should be no problems, as far as vibrations my 200 T's get a regular dose of sub-woofer from my stereo, and all are...

Once the spider is over 2", usually if the water dish is @ the size of the abdomen, is a good measure I been using since I read this On AB awhile ago, My T.apophysis and T.blondi get XTRA big and shallow water-dishes...
