    A. Chalcodes no molts! + winter heat?

    @Thekla heres an attempt at a pedipalp shot and the new enclosure. What most seem to be saying is bump the heat so I'll put a mini one along the side for night time as day time sun filters in through the windows and generally warms up my room to about 68F so for now I'll just use a heat...

    A. Chalcodes no molts! + winter heat?

    Heres a pic, and before someone comments on it, yes the soil is dark, I just changed out her enclosure today, and it needed more dirt normally it's much drier.

    Heterapoda venatoria communally?

    Haha I kinda suspected as much but I suppose if I can wait it out till post breeding then having however many babies hatch a live whith mom while they grow a bit will fulfill my communal curiosity :)

    Heterapoda venatoria communally?

    Hobo spider? on an adventure?

    This buddy ran across my path last night. I assume off to search for warmer sanctuary, is this a hobo? From what I've seen eratigena agrestis has a pretty distinct pattern and shading but it was pitch black and I had to use flash so patterns not very great although it looks like it could...

    Took in some 'pests'

    In my opinion caterpillars are so underrated! we get tent caterpillars every year and I've seen people literally burn them alive on the tree for simply being born :( so we got a batch in the one tree we couldn't have them in and ended up cutting off thier branch and moving them inside to safety :)
