@Phormic28 Thanks! Yes dubias about 1 inch. I only have 4 Ts above 4 inches and I fed them all a large dubia today. My avic avic seems to be scared of it though. My B. Vagans, P. Cam , and A. Geniculata took the dubia right away though. I've never fed off roaches this big before, so I just...
What size should a tarantula be to eat large dubia roaches? When feeding off large roaches, do tarantulas still need weekly feedings or is this a once a month feeding?
Thank you! That's my problem. I let the pet store and breeder confuse me from things I've read. I know pet stores are always wrong. I only second guessed myself because the person I spoke with said he's had pet snakes since he was 12.
I have light and heat pad right now on the same end to...

I started the ball python research back in 2016 when I held one for the 1st time and fell in love. My hubs didn't want to get one, so my research was mainly curiosity. I didn't think I'd be getting one anytime soon. Well then our son asked for one, and he never asks for anything. For...
I have been researching for at least 18 months. The issue is that everywhere I look, whoever I talk to, every store, every breeder, every YouTube video, literally EVERYTHING says something different. I'm trying to find someone that can tell me something that makes sense. I'm being told...
Also my son
So I should put the light over on the same side as the heat pad? Should I get another heat pad too, so the entire one side is covered in heat pad? Also I'm assuming I can just go and get a ceramic bulb or do these types of bulbs require a completely different light? I have to...
This is Linda's enclosure. We ended up buying a kit from the store that was meant for ball python's. It came with a heat lamp and a heat pad. The guy at the store said put the lamp on one side and the heat pad on the other side and this will create a cold spot in the middle of the tank. Is this...
I was wondering about the enclosure size because even tarantula breeders at expos always try to tell me bigger is fine for tarantulas, but I learned differently here. So is a 20 gallon okay for a baby ball python instead of a 50? Or is getting a 50 gallon with lots of hides okay too?
How long...
My 12 year old son asked for a snake and we decided to let him get one. The breeder by us just got one of his baby ball pythons to eat its 3rd meal a few days ago and said we can come and get it today. He says its a female. So we are headed to the pet shop to get everything we need today and...
Summer 2017 I picked up some nhandu chromatus slings at an expo for real cheap. They were teensy and being fed fruit flies. I switched them over to pieces of meal worms and crickets. I went to the same expo in May 2018 and the same vender had nhandu chromatus slings again that were basically the...
My question might be a little off topic, but it is related to this article. I noticed that the article doesn't list all the feeders that I have used. It's missing hornworms, super worms & dubia roaches. Does anyone know the nutritional value of these feeders?
@Vinny2915
Thanks for all the good info. H pulchripes is definitely on my want list. When I get M Balfouri, I want to try a communal setup and I definitely don't feel ready to try that just yet. I'll have to look into the Ceratogyrus species a little.
Thanks <3 I think I handle myself very well around my Ts.
This is my fear. I'm not sure if I'll get one yet. My husband isn't on board for an old world yet. I'm in the research stage of things. Research and dreams...
I've been lucky so far and had no issues with this.
