OK, an update on these: Yes. the two in the KKs did escape. :-( I think one got stomped by the roomie, who is terrified of spiders, but I found the other on a wall two days later. I put it into that square container on the left in the pictures, with the tiny holes, along with some substrate...

Don't forget, when I set up those things I didn't know what I had! Note the labels on the side just says Ba and Av, I wasn't even sure if the Ba was right since the marking on the vial wasn't easy to read. Would the arboreal be climbing ALREADY? I still haven't seen one of the others. The...

OK, this is the present setup. Note that the Brachypelma albopilosum and the Avicularia versicolor are in the KKs and they are quite small with narrow air slots. The Psalmopoeus reduncus is in the same container I bought it in and the Pterinochilus murinus is in the round container. The...

At a reptile show last weekend I bought 4 tiny Ts, an Avicularia versicolor, a Psalmopoeus reduncus, a Brachypelma albopilosum, and a Pterinochilus murinus. Two of them are about half an inch, one is a quarter inch, and the last is so small it came in a vial about the size of my baby finger...

I'll try to get a few pictures, which might not be easy since they often hide. Unfortunately I'm at work right now and I won't be getting home until quite late. Boxing gloves on the WHAT?? :D

I picked up two Grammostola pulchripes last week in a terrarium which is divided in half with a sheet of glass to separate them. The seller told me that he got them as slings and thinks that they are a M/F couple. I've noticed that one is noticeably bigger than the other. Would this be an...

I would use Dr. Pepper myself but I can see why it would need to be done in a bathroom with something stuffed under the door!

Nudging with a paint brush might work for a nice docile NW T but I'd be afraid this one would just run up the paint brush and chow down on my hand. I did think about putting something on top of her when she is on the glass then sliding the lid or a piece of cardboard as you suggested but I'd be...

Well. I still haven't been able to clean this terrarium. I did make up a deli cup and put 2 crickets in it then set it in the terrarium with the hope that when she went to chow down I would snap the lid on then remove it. But all she did was stand there with 2-3 legs in her dry water dish, so...

NOW I'm getting e mail about replies! I'm actually quite far from Lake Ontario. I would need to go to Toronto. EEEEWWW!!!! Lake Erie is at least a 90 minute drive each way. The seller did tell me that he did like you suggested to the two sticks.

I did use Sterilite for my other OW T, but the dumb thing is forever in its burrow so it's no problem. So the plants I'm seeing in these pictures are all plastic fakes? But is it really necessary to boil them a few times? I would imagine that would just shrivel them up. Is what is at the...

*I* don't have THAT kind of money - either! That thing looks incredible but it must have cost a small fortune! Too bad the pokie can't save money and live better at Walmart. :-)

Hmmm... I wasn't getting any e mails about responses so I figured you were all being anti social but today I logged in anyway and OMG!! Was I ever wrong! Trenor - Those few air holes in your cup don't look like enough to me, but I guess they don't require a lot of air. I would like to get...

So is her present situation THAT nasty? It looks nasty to me, but I'm not a tarantula. Swamps are nasty to me but many animals love them. What exactly is meant by a "deli cup"? Something like an XL McShake would come in, only clear plastic? I imagine a small critter keeper wouldn't work...

How in blazes can I rehome my Poecilotheria vittata, even temporarily while I clean or organize the terrarium or change the substrate, without killing the poor thing, or killing myself? She looks rather awesome, especially while she is crawling up the glass, but appears to have the temperament...

That would involve moving her without getting her upset, as well as positioning myself and the camera under the clear container to do the pictures. :-(

Actually I think you meant THIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammostola_porteri The other is what you said she isn't.

The camera is a 12 MP Canon DSLR, two things which are lacking is my ability to use it properly, and my ability to pose my rose hair to do pictures of her underside :-). Do you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilean_rose_tarantula?

Here is my Mexican Red Knee. The knees actually look orange, which I like. :-) Can someone tell me the actual common and scientific names, and how would I know if she is a she and not a he? Note that the terrarium, actually a critter keeper, fell over while I was bringing it hope. I was rather...

I was told that this is a Bahia Scarlet Birdeater. While she does look sweet, she doesn't look scarlet. Also, how would I know if she is a she and not a he?
