Definitely sounds like something was wrong, then. :'( I just don't know what would have caused that to happen.

He was a D. medius, and I kept it pretty darn wet. I'd spray all the walls 1x a day and the next day there would still be a relative small amount of dew away from the vents. I'm assuming it was around 90% humidity with a lot of moisture. I've never sprayed him directly until that day. I've had...

Hey guys. Sad news - My whipspider who hadn't eaten for 5 weeks finally ate, was full for about a week, and then died. Maybe you can help assess how/why? :( The thing I might have done wrong was switch to large crickets. He was not finding the small ones and so I put a large cricket in his...

Hey all! My D. medius is settled in nicely (no more humidity issues!) but alas, the questions keep coming. I've been waiting to feed him for about 3 1/2 weeks based off the advice of the place where I got him from. Threw a cricket in the enclosure, it disappeared, and I assumed he ate it. A...

I'm not sure if they ship out, but you could try NERD / Zoocreatures in plaistow NH. That is where I got mine. Not sure if you're looking for CB though.

THANK YOU ALL!! Yes he is likely WC; I never confirmed with the shop but since all the ones they had were juveniles and adults, it's what i'm assuming. That being said, it's good to know that these DO require high moisture and i wasn't overdoing it. A lot of the care i've read online assumes I...

Augh! This guy is really a rollercoaster. I'm posting a picture of his current enclosure because I need help. I was 100% certain my little D. medius was dead last night. I spray his enclosure to keep humidity up 2x a day (often I feel like I have to maintain it at 100% humidity with sopping...

Good to know! I'm pretty upset that he's wild caught. Now i'm hoping he was quarantined before they decided to sell him to me. :( The place I bought him from is pretty reputable, so i'm hoping that telling me they're "very likely captive bred" when I asked was a misstep. Going to have to be...

Thinking now that he's D. diadema (I didn't have a chance to look at him with such a bright light haha). Thanks for the responses so far! Very helpful. =) He seems to love the upper right corner of the tank, which initially made me think he was upset about the temp. He ate a medium sized...

Hey all! I purchased an species of Tailless Whip Spider (person at pet facility did not know species, but it's captive bred) and I've got a question about winter temps. I read a lot that room temp is fine. Unfortunately, my apartment commonly finds itself around 65-68 at night and around 72...

Welp, this was an enclosure I bought at a reptile show. I assumed the arboreal enclosures were suitable for avics, but it seems not. Sorry all to petrify you with this haha. I was afraid of putting too much stuff in, as last time I did that, it was extremely crowded once she webbed everything...

Something is amiss with my poor veriscolor! I've had her since a small sling and as you do, have been slowly upgrading her enclosures as she grows. She just molted and her last enclosure was 100% web, so after a week, into the new enclosure she went. Normally she webs it up right away, but...

Hey guys! Long term tarantula owner, newbie crested gecko owner. That being said, I purchased some A. granulatum to go in my vivarium along with some dwarf white isopods for my new crested gecko, but later found out that cresties can get impacted by feeding on hard-shelled creatures. I'm...

Unfortunately it was my fault; the screen was taped over a hole (the terrarium was originally one of those cricket keepers with holes for tubes on the side). The tape had lifted off for some reason and I didn't notice. If you have a regular screen it should be fine! Also yeah, I honestly...

Right?! I was calling it their vacation home hahaha. Unfortunately, we all have to come back home at some point. ;)

Do not buy from these guys!!!! My amblypygi arrived dead. Later found out it was wild caught and NOT quarantined!

These guys are local to me so i've never had a T shipped. They seem nice enough and take good care of the animals in their facility. I've purchased plants, insects and dry supplies from them in the past.

Thankfully the screen is only a very small portion of the cage. The kritter keeper (his official in-between enclosure) used to be for crickets, so there were holes in the plastic lid where you would put cricket tubes. I had to cover the hole up in order to put him in there, but didnt realize the...

Like others have said, literally just put more substrate in, the enclosure should be fine.
