    They seem to be a pretty new and pretty small operation from what I saw on their Facebook and YouTube pages. Probably why you don't see any feedback for them. <edit>

    Don’t Laugh But…

    Put them in a ziploc and they'll all fall in the corner. You can carefully grab one then.

    P. Irminia covering itself in dirt

    How well ventilated is the enclosure? I can't say for sure but its possible the enclosure was too stuffy, which can kill tarantulas. Mites also thrive in high moisture environments, so too much water and not enough airflow could explain their presence.

    P. Irminia covering itself in dirt

    Mites can just appear. They are basically everywhere and it only takes a couple to get a population going. They are not, however, parasitic. 99% of the time they're just scavengers and eat decomposing matter in the enclosure. It's likely that they were hanging around in the dirt and descended on...

    huntsman egg sack questions

    You can remove it but it's just fine to leave it with the female. She'll do her thing with it and take care of the sack until the slings hatch. Probably take a little more than a month before they hatch.

    Gnats, harmful?

    Fill a container with sugar water, the sugary the better. Then add a few drops of dish soap and make sure everything is dissolved/mixed in nicely. Put a container everywhere you see them and try to figure out where they are breeding so you can change the substrate in those enclosures. Just...

    Looking for a breeder who ships to Brazil

    It's not so simple as packing a box and shipping to Brazil. Anyone outside of Brazil who wants to export to you has to have an import/export license in their country, and you have to have the proper documentation on your end. I'm not 100% certain what that entails as I'm not too familiar with...

    Amateur Macro Photographer Questions and Tips

    I started with my dads oldish Nikon and a somewhat budget 100mm lens. My setup isn't anything special by any means and OPs doesnt have to be either to have some fun with photography.

    Injured centipede antenna

    It'll regrow the antennae after a few molts. Losing one or having a shorter one won't affect it in any meaningful way. The black tip could be mycosis, which would also be solved with a molt.

    That article was posted some months ago, but if I remember right it wasn't described at the time.

    ATS.org is dead?

    I used to shop on insect net. Bought quite a few pupa and a lot of dried specimens from the classifieds over the years.

    Amateur Macro Photographer Questions and Tips

    Yep the best macro shots are always stacks, but they can be a little tricky to do and you'll need some practice and a software capable of it. I've tried stacking once and it came out alright.

    How often do older B. hamorri molt?

    Doesn't look like it's close to a molt, the abdomen isn't darkening. What it does look like, is a very fat spider, which explains why it hasn't eaten.

    Amateur Macro Photographer Questions and Tips

    An easy, somewhat effective way to get extra magnification is to take as sharp of a photo as you possibly can, with a tripod, rail, burst mode, etc. And then just crop it in a bit in editing. Other than that I'm not too sure what to tell you without getting more hardware.

    Have I found the best isopod substrate?

    No I didn't. I just throw them in my garden or throw them away.
