Drione dust can be obtained on a certain DIY pest control website and is actually quite human/ pet safe compared to other insecticides, and you can buy the "puffer" tool there as well, yet its the same stuff a professional pest control specialist trained to deal with BR would use on a...
So about a decade ago I collected specimens of L. reclusa for at study at Kansas University dept of entomology. It was headed by Jamel Sandige an evolutionary biologist who, now along with Vetter is one of the recluse experts in the country.
It was basically testing different treatments...
I would actually put poecilotheria below cyriopagopus as far as the "ladder" system goes, sure they maybe fast, but not nearly as inclined to bite as a cyriopagopus
The main reason being husbandry wise pokies are pretty bulletproof compared to more moisture dependent cyriopagopus.
As far as...
Just received 30 panda kings on Thursday and yesterday while getting crickets and discoids at the LPS, I saw that they had P. hoffmannseggi and had to snatch them up!
This is quite true, forgot to mention that edge of the "sword" so to speak, its going to be much more inclined to bite than a C. darlingi or H. pulchipes.

I agree with @viper69 on most points above, also unlike other baboons like p. murinus and ceratogyrus, that are fine with limited moisture C lividus requires attention to this parameter.
On regards to rehousing though, I think C. lividus can actually be easier to deal with than ceratogyrus and...
In additon to masking alarm pheromones I thought smoke flipped a "hive preservation" switch in bees, where they gorge themselves with honey for energy to possibly "abandon" or move the hive and thus become lethargic /sedated from gorging themselves.
For Ts, I dont think prozac or lithium would...
So here is a very seasoned hobbyist who many refer people to when they are looking for rehousing advice as he is very good at it and has introduced really good methods.
Guess what? Spider bolted up his arm
Again, you can be doing everything right and still end up with a spider 1/2 way up your...
So about 4 months ago I started looking into bioactive setups for my spoods and saw that isopods were a common component of the CUC, I had never really paid them any attention when I would see them at shows, it wasn't until a few weeks ago when I discovered all the different species and neat...
