You sir, are a genius, and thank you for your reply. I looked up the H. venatoria and it said they are found in tropical to sub tropical regions, I wouldn't think Alaska to be in one of those categories, do you think Wikipedia is incorrect in that description? Also, do you think it's true that...
Here are two different spiders, the pictures are poorly taken but are the best i could do for now. The leggy spider is about 3 1/2 cm long including legspan and the other spider, the abdomen is measuring about one and a half centimeters, with the total width maybe for or 5cm. These spiders are...
Update: I did not build an enclosure for my Crab Spider, I only put a barely dampened tissue paper in the tupperware container with a light mist of droplets near the tissue. The lid of the tupperware is a plastic screw on and I didn't screw it so there would be oxygen flow.
The day after the...
I am not sure of the answer to your question but one time i was bit by a click beetle, but other than that they are really cool. Maybe post a picture, if you have any, for an ID or anyone's input.
Thank you for the help! I will do exactly that and for the time being but? I will feed it mosquitoes, as it is mosquito season here. The only thing I'm worried about is if I fond more in my house I think they would probably be related to each other and I don't want to inbreed them. How big is...
In the Philodromus genus. I am posting these pictures to show the spider I managed to catch in my house. I have had it positivly ID'd, on spider.us as a Running Crab Spider. My next step is to learn as much as I can about this spider and make it a home. It was a big deal to find it because I...
So sad!! So when a scorpion's eggs drop does that mean they were unfertilized and no longer viable? Just asking because I am new to scorpion care and tryin to learn as much as possible. Wondrous creatures scorpions are, and congrats on your H. Hottentotta brood!
Wish I knew, in my very amateur and unknowledgable opinion I would say it is a tarantula or wolf spider. Doesn' help much but the picture is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
@RezonantVoid : Thank you! And awesome update: She is pregnant/gravid! Besides looking like she is about to explode, I researched how to tell if the scorpion is pregnant and on site said you can almost see through on her underside and see the babies, sure enough today she was trying to climb...
Ok, after seeing the side by side I have to believe that the new scorpion is definitely pregnant/gravid! It is obvious, isn't it!?! :joyful::wideyed::woot::rolleyes::D:p:pompous::p
P.s the picture above is just another one taken on the one I believe to be gravid, but here is a picture of my other scorpion for comparison. This picture was taken around November 2017 but is about the same size. (I named my first scorpion Shino, I believe he is male since he hasn't had babies...
Thank you @Tarantulaboy ! I wasn't sure because I've never seen one before and I am colorblind and always expected a Texas brown tarantula to be a very muddy completely brown, and this one seemed like it got darker near his arms pits. Also was shocked at how big it is! Tarantulas are...
I hope you can find a positive ID! I am new to tarantula so do not know. Anyways I am so new I just got my first tarantula yesterday, wild caught Texas tarantula, posted its picture in the gallery ("Ocho") for a positive ID as well, but going to be releasing it back to where it came from later...
Original picture description: Lake Buchanan, Texas: this spider was saved by my husband at his workplace from a large group of kids terrorizing it. He is bringing it home so I can look at it (and maybe feed it a cricket) since I've never seen one before, then plans on releasing it where he found...
