I put a rock or two in the water dish to provide an island of refuge for the little ones. Even big crickets use it if they fall in. They just dry off a little and sproing! they're out. Of course you'll always have the none-to-swift, just like us...

I still use the ol' bathtub to rehouse, even though a 7" P. ornata can jump and cover my face faster than I blink. Never have had a problem and watching them make the move is pretty cool. And it's a good thing to get the juices flowing - I never would want to get so used to it where it becomes...

Foremost, I refer you to the PayPal thread; sound advise. I was hesitant as to where to post, and decided this would gain the most exposure; if I have erred, I ask the administrators to delete this post or place it within a more suitable area. I purchased a togo starburst 4.5" female which was...

A few thoughts... Size of container and T is always a consideration - they're strong little buggers. I used to have weighted lids, but if the T is sub to adult I expressly use a locking latch. (Pokies are professional escape artists). I have cats, dogs and birds, not to mention a wife, and...

My house has killer wolf spiders, the sizes you see for sale on this site that look like a juvie T. Don't think I'd wanna get tagged by one that size. You can google traps for spiders and these will work just fine instead of using a "I'm gonna kill every living critter I touch" bomb (called...

I got bamboo and steel forceps off eBay at good prices.

Well, if he doesn't want that Gooty he can always give it to me and heck, guess I'd even pay for shipping too. All kidding aside, if you want it, get it. Just realize what you've got and treat your relationship with respect and you'll do fine.

I can't get over the pics your new cam takes, and here I thought you were using your macro lense; can't wait to see the pics you get with that!

Some quick pics... Just some quick pics of my meager set up. Thanks.

You ever think of getting two more Boehmis?

What size were they when you introduced them? Were any together prior to the large set up?

I was totally oblivious to the fact that I had contracted this disease on the far side of the Pacific, and bringing it home, I shelved it next to my alphabetized disorders. Eventually my disorders were reshelved as the disease spread; the shelves had to be organized and reorganized. I had never...

Cripes! The flower pics just reach out and smack ya one! I sure know what I'll be getting for Christmas. What did it set you back, Ryan? I ran thru the D80 on eBay and prices aren't that bad till you start figuring in lenses.

I use exo-terra 12x12x12 for terrestrials and 12x12x18 for arboreals, although I'm planning on trying my hand at fabricating my own. If you're handy and can get some plexiglass and adhesive, you may want to build your own. Checking out prices at my local lumber company, it's cost effective for...

I bet if you found a wasp in your bedroom or a 3+ inch wolf spider, you'd slap that sucker dead! I doubt that the vast majority would do a catch and release. And one man's weed may be another man's flower. To each his own. But I don't "play" with my Ts and I have a certain degree of repect for...

I asked this same question here and at The Arboreal Tarantula Forum. Michael answered, saying it would pose no problem and the sole benefit would be eye candy for the keeper. I haven't done it yet, but plan to in the future with one of my pokies.

Thanks, Debby. It's nice to see a balance of emotion and intellect.

Your uncompromising willingness to help.

By all means, use the search button, and it would be nice if this were done (as noted earlier in this thread), prior to posting a new thread, for the the sake of being better informed when the answers come rolling in, or finding a sufficient answer and not having to post a new thread at all. But...

I absolutely agree with you, but don't take too much offense and by all means, don't cut off your nose to spite your face. It's only castles burning and this too shall pass, with everything remaining exactly as it was. I've seen it as such too many times before. I keep getting refered to...
