So 9 days after getting this juvie A.Maga, its decided to put up a "Do Not Disturb" sign and sealed its burrow... I guess thats a good indication it has settled and is happy.😊 Ive got another one that's been sealed off since Jan 8th....:shifty: Ive been patiently waiting for it to surface...

Yh you should, they are a sleekly gorgeous sp. I've got another MF @ 6" and she's even more stunning. Her name is Purple:happy:. Just waiting on her next molt...:watchingyou:

Found this Acanthoscurria Maga (formerly Antillensis) while doing some digging at work today...:D I'd guesstimate maybe 2.5" - 3"

My now 5.5" DLS Tapinauchenius Polybotes, Se7en, molted last week but was waiting on my new phone for a proper pic....:happy: She's so chill, always out on that web curtain just hanging out...

Did u ever get those pictures? I know there isn't much out there about them cuz I was once looking like you... There are 2 types also. One from here (St.Lucia) and one from our neighbor Martinique....The ones from here are much prettier though. I find the males to be the fairer sex as well...

Tapinauchenius Polybotes female...

Interesting....There was a hole in one of the bags so when I saw how dry n crumbly it was, that just put me off it.... You said "I've used," did u stop using it?

☝️That is correct.... So I checked all topsoil ingredients and all had fertilizer sadly, even the ones that said "organic" ... Anything Miracle Grow had fertilizer... Saw they had Coco Fiber so that's what I ended up with. I'm just gonna make my own substrate mix... 1.42 cu ft / 40 L. $36...

Thanks guys... Did some searching and found a garden center with Coco fiber, topsoil, peat, vermiculite... So I'm gonna get me some topsoil and take it from there...:spiderweb:

TTT....Input anyone?

Guys it's so hard to get organic potting/top soil in my country apart from digging it up myself which I prefer not to do. I can get peat compost without any additives or fertilizer which I've used to mix with some soil I salvaged from an old flower pot for my pede but it's quite expensive. I...

Great thread and glad I found it ..... Acanthoscurria Antillensis (St.Lucia) Teaser.....Wild caught 2 days ago...More to come...It's 12:40am I'm tired....😞

OP do u mind me piggy backing this thread? Just caught 3 of these in my basement... Mature male and female plus a sling....

Where do these mites come from and how can you prevent them/get rid of them? I keep getting infested with these mites. Ive had to rehouse twice already and ive only just begun to raise some superworms. My 3 beetles have died and down to 3 superworms im gonna let change to beetles. Im quite...

Yup... I give one about every 2 weeks... or sometimes i feed grasshoppers or roaches....

Finally rehoused one of my pedes yesterday.... Gonna do the other tonight... Pedelings are doing great. I saw them molting last week and growing nicely... Sorry i didnt take any pics.... Glass jar is old enclosure... I think im gonna use bamboo leaves instead... Those leaves look out of...

These are nice... i saw them on ebay... i wanna get some... they also have a clear top which is nice too....

The momma is indeed skinny... Thinner than the other one... Ill feed them when i get home. Around here theres plenty of prey... small lizards, frogs, crickets, grasshoppers, roaches... i was worried about over feeding but now i know ill keep them fed...

Ok so i transfered momma pede to a separate enclosure so plings can eat properly... I would have moved the plings but the bucket has more space for them to roam and i feel more comfortable with them in there... How often should i feed the plings? Ive fed them twice already...
