I have had my blondi for 3 years now. She has a hide and the oppurtunity to burrow. She will use her hide on occasion but because she is not bothered by anything so she stays out in the open. As far as humidity I USED to keep her in a damp cage to keep the humidity high...no more. Now its a very...

Perfect!!! Thank you very much.

What is the extent of tarantulas in Texas. Are they in the whole state? The reason I ask is that I am heading down near Marshall Texas next week, about 45 minutes west of Shreveport LA and I told my know it all sister in law that I believe there to be tarantulas in the area where they will live...

Relocate outside. Some of the smaller ones I will place in a houseplant but mostly outside they go.

Yuo you are right..they don't look like chameleon toes at all....they don't look like camel toes either.... :D

Its a lizard...for sure....looks to be about a 40 footer.... :D Not sure really but it is a cool looking lizard. Kinda has features like a veiled chameleon but not quite. Even the toes look a chameleons.

Ts are tough little creatures. I am really confident you will get them all in perfect health.

OK so recently I have been hearing what sounds like a small bird chirping in my T room. I could never quite locate the source of the sound but it was around the klaasi enclosure which is also near a few other enclosures. I would hear the chirping then try to see if it was a buried roach...

Keeping the substrate dry goes a long way in preventing unwanted mites and possible mold development. In the wild blondis do live in a some what damp enviroment but there are breezes and such to keep undesirables in check. For a blondi a large water dish is a good item to have. Mine goes through...

Very normal for any T to climb the sides the day after a tank cleaning. Remember, they are very tactile creatures with their sense of touch being of high importance given their poor eye sight. When you change their substrate, even if it is perfect, they will climb around until they get...

Somthing is wrong with your computer...its three different photos for three different spiders.... I mean completely different.

Is it possible the two colors stem from where they are in regards to a molt?You know shortly after they look very dark then as they get closer to a molt they tend to look very faded and washed out. Very cool that are able to see a colony first hand. You have the chance to see behavior in a...

Very nice. I have never handled my anex. She seems to like her space so I leave her be.

I am in there many times throughout the day. Sometimes its for a 30 second once over and sometimes for cleaning or misting or what ever.

Did you actually read the ebay add all the way through? It clearly states that these are NOT wild caught but indeed farm raised. ebay even has a disclaimer relating to rare or endangered species. Now unless we have direct evidence to the contrary I think we should be obligated to believe their...

People raise and kill cows...sheep...pigs...mink...chickens....rabbit...you get the picture. Mink is raised and killed for it's skin alone. We may not like it but we also can't just ignore the fact that it happens here, in the U.S. On these boards we all love our bugs. It bothers us to...

I knew someone would say that. Asia is much more connected then we are. The fact that they have internet access has little to do with their financial standing. Even the poorest person can get on line at a library or an interent cafe for little or no money. Bangkok households, and those in...

I think the bigger crime is the English translation.....Honestly on a global scale I doubt they sell very many of these. These for the most part are very poor people. The few dollars they are making are probably badly needed. I don't condone it but I don't begrudge their right to make a living.

Some will get a patch some will not. Just know that its not a rule but an indicator. Many of my Ts molt with out ever having developed a bald patch. I am always careful to not suprise them thus keeping the kicking down to a minumum. Only my B Bohemei likes to kick. My T blondi has molted with no...

They actually have to build up internal pressure. You will see the legs all stick almost straight out. The internal pressure builds until they are able to split the carapace. I notice with my blondie she will consume a ton of water in the weeks before a molt. In fact I believe she may be getting...
