Yep! Happy dance. It's very cute to watch imo. All Ts are different though, so if some day you get one that NEVER does a happy dance, that's okay too. All of mine do happy dances, but I have read of people with tarantulas that just don't. Individual animals and whatnot. :P

Dart frogs aren't arboreal otherwise it'd be a neat idea. They enjoy their floor space, and the screen top is sort of trash with a species like darts that need higher humidity. If you go with something else, my recommendation would be a dumpy tree frog or something along those lines. But for a...

I'm curious how big B. vagans get on average, and how big they COULD get on a maturing molt. I have one that's at least 2.5-3 inches, so I suppose I'm curious how close he is to adulthood, since that's when the clock starts to tick if he is indeed male. Google results gives you anything for 3-7...

Mm- mites are the type of creature that breaks down dead material, no? I don't see why they'd attack a live tarantula. Either way, @cold blood knows what he's talking about. I'd just trust what he says. I got my tarantulas from him, and they're all alive and well. ;)

None of mine have ever done this. That's so curious. Thanks for sharing your video, @VanessaS !

I believe springtails don't eat the mites, but compete with them for food? Quickly kills them off if they can't eat.

I've also heard, although it may only apply to scorpions, that they'll burrow to escape uncomfortable heat... and a heat mat underneath will just quickly fry them if they keep trying to burrow but end up in a hotter space.

For the record, there are ways to tell if an animal is sleeping even if they don't have eyelids. My crested geckos don't have eyelids, but when they sleep, their "eyelashes" lower, almost as if they're sleepy. I'm sure if tarantulas sleep, there's some tell, just like other animals have.

Nope. You have a B. constrictor-- a common boa, or otherwise called a red-tailed boa.

I agree with what @darkness975 said. How high is the enclosure, and how many inches of substrate? It might not be bad - she looks like she has a decent DLS.

"Researchers have known for quite some time that golden head centipedes (aka the Chinese red-headed centipede), which live in Asia and Hawaii are able to subdue prey larger than its own size, in some cases, much larger—testing in a lab showed a centipede was able to take down a mouse, a creature...

@Thomas Loomis @boina Uploaded another photo. Not sure it'll be of much help though, it's from May 2017. The next most recent pic is Jan 2017.

This is the latest pic I have of it after that other image.

B. vagans

Your best bet is a picture. All we can do is guess in the meantime.

When checking on our communal sling container, we saw a bit of yellow mold. Trying to remove it aggravated the sling in the tunnel beneath it, and when it ran out in a huff, we saw that the sling had what looked like yellow mold on it as well. I don't have any pictures, my partner got rid of...

A. versicolor...

I had some but it's been awhile so I'm not sure if I have any of the links anymore. Here's a thread with some information. http://arachnoboards.com/threads/scientific-articles.288723/
