To anyone who lives close to Toronto or will be visiting before January, there's an exhibit at the ROM called "Spiders: Fear and Fascination" that is worth checking out. A little misleading, as the exhibit also features lots of tarantulas as well as scorpions and centipedes.
A lot of the newer...
Kritter Keepers are much lighter than glass enclosures as well. Weight is a factor for me because I like to move my enclosures around, so consider that if you're like minded.
Here's how I housed mine (made from a shoe box):
The first feeding is great isn't it? The first molt is going to be a fun one :)
If feeding is your thing then the L. parahybana is a wise choice. That and my A. geniculata are my go-to's for showing feedings to my friends.
Tarantula Canada is good, bought quite a few Ts from them, including a C. versicolor sling at the ReptileExpo last weekend.
I commend you for practicing on wolf spiders, those things can move! I'd swear some of the ones I see at the cottage dwarf a few of my juvenile tarantulas lol
@Liquifin Really? My avic did the opposite, which is why I'm trying the inverted design. I will prep another one just in case and watch what happens. Thanks for the warning.
I wanted something a bit more visible than a simple pill jar, so I fashioned this from a tooth pick package. Same height as the pill jar, but slightly wider. What do you guys think?
"Isn't it obvious? It's because she dodges bullets" :D
@OP I went with a naming theme for my collection, based on South Park characters. It was either that, Seinfeld, or Star Trek: TNG. In the case of my B. albo, her name is Annie :)
@Nerdsalad Thanks for taking the time to explain chemical and radiation poisoning and nerding it :)
My mom and sister grow tonnes of lavender in their garden and where I live is ravaged by mosquitos in the summer months. I'm definitely going to give your concoction a try *scratches*
That is fascinating, can't cockroaches withstand lethal levels of radiation too?
Whew, no scented toilet paper around here. Can't help but worry about things like scented diapers though...
