    Here's a new one... Any ideas?

    That was the plan... Gonna check in the morning. I gotta admit, despite my concerns this is pretty damn funny... Okay... So he's not stuck, just stupid. I was finally able to see that both fangs are free. Turns out, a cricket I tossed in just before I grabbed the dish was in his grasp when...

    Here's a new one... Any ideas?

    I swear this stuff only happens to me... Tonight I was doing routine maintenance in my MM L. parahybana's enclosure. I use 1/2 oz plastic cups for water dishes, and typically remove them to clean or replace. Anyway, my guy decided the water dish looked edible and decided to attack it as I was...

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    Thank you... I was optimistic but I guess I discovered the injury a little too late. I'm pretty bummed... Raised her from a tiny sling... and Amazon just delivered her "forever" home today. Been planning to rehouse her after this molt for a while.

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    Hard to say... I don't know if the "injury" was the cause of all this, but if so I guess it could have occurred during or post molt. This just happened so suddenly... And 3 days after what appeared to be a very normal, successful molt.... I just don't know.

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    Good morning all. Unfortunately, it appears that she didn't make it. This morning, there are signs of rigor mortis. No movement or response to any stimuli, and I no longer see the movement in her abdomen. I thank all of you again for your help. At least I can feel that I tried to do...

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    Ok it looks like the cornstarch "hemostat" has worked. I don't see any liquid coming through.. now as far as rehydration goes, how much is too much to give her? Again, the drops are just sitting there and I see no chelicerae/mouth movement. I know I can't "drown" her this way, but I'm also...

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    I'm not sure if that's even the issue at this point.. I'll give it a try but she's completely flaccid and is making no movements on her own. When I posted, she was at least somewhat moving her legs... Now nothing.

    Suddenly sick GBB--help!

    Hello all... Tonight, my daughter was looking at the Ts and pointed out that one, my sub adult female GBB, was "curled up in the corner". Upon investigating, I could see that she did not look good at all. Some background: Molted 3 days ago seemingly without issue. The next day when she was...

    Pimping out males...

    Thank you for the information! So basically I'd need to find someone with a breeding operation and a "lady friend" for him in my home state, and the slings couldn't leave the state either. Sounds like intra-state breeding and sale on a small scale are still okay, as long as it is in the...
