I've named my tarantulas but not any of my scorpions. I don't know why, I've tried, but hate every name I come up with for scorpions.

Yeah, I'd read that as I had been looking at the heterometrus genus prior to purchasing so I never had high hopes for a correct identification when I did run into these ones. Unfortunately I did not know that scorplings would be too young to identify. They all do seem to be doing well in their...

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a good shot of them as of yet. Mostly my fault as I only open their enclosures when feeding. I found out that the mother was purchased from a fairly reputable dealer in the area, and that the mother was wild caught so I'm inclined to believe the...

I found a 2" a avicularia set up in a breeder box terrestrially with a rock hide, more fit for an adult beardie. I mentioned the requirement for an arboreal set up --- which was clearly a new word for them and upon explanation they swore to me that the avic could be set up terrestrially. Only...

I picked up some scorplings the other day that were sold as H Spinifer and I'm hoping to get an ID from someone to confirm as much. I am only posting a photo of one as they are all from the same brood (reptile shop purchased one that turned out to be a pregnant female).

For future reference - bring a scarf. As a Canadian, half your year depends on you being able to keep yourself warm. If you can keep yourself warm, you can keep your pet warm. Either wrap the enclosure with the scarf prior to heading outside, or if you're comfortable, stick it in a catch cup of...

My mom has refused to come to my house ever since I started collecting them. My sister thinks I'm lying about not being able to remove their fangs or venom. I mean yeah, I'm lying about only having two tarantulas and no scorpions because I want her rent money but nothing in relation to fangs...

The height is a risk for the t, terrestrial Ts do climb sometimes and that much of a drop can be harmful to them. Exo Terras have the wire mesh, so if she gets stuck, she could dislodge herself and fall and wind up with an injury that could be fatal. Unfortunately with the doors, it isn't as...

Give the crickets some water based veggie like a ripped up salad leaf for feed. Add to the cricket pen after rinsing, leaving water on the surface. Your T will get water from the crickets that way. Add a piece of cardboard egg carton to the cricket pen to give them something to climb. As long as...

Females tend to live longer than males, and you could do a breeding loan - send the female to someone who has a male. At least with having the female you don't have to be worried about yours being the one eaten. But that's just an idea. Given what you've said, your choices are A) start off...

Depending on where you live, there are acrylic warehouses that will build an enclosure for you - which usually still ends up being cheaper than buying acrylic sheets. Ex. http://www.allwestplastic.com/

We have 3 places to order from in Canada and a 1/2" b klassi is 25CAD, so about $20 American. Get the female - at those prices, people are more likely to go for unsexed and end up with males. You'll have more options for breeding and could make some money back.

https://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?90187-Tank-Screen-Top-Foil-Treatment-Tutorial ^ will help prevent heat/humidity from escaping snake enclosure forcing the heat to go through the sides of the enclosure.

To be honest, not a good long term suggestion. Just something to test out, the radiating heat could have problematic results long term. Keeping your T next to the snake enclosure could help as certain temperature measurements need to be adhered for snakes. Makeshift a tinfoil box, place the T...

I wish my city shut down over ice. But then we'd only be in business for what, 4 mos of the year? Ozone will be difficult so you will want to find other disgruntled tenants. Call around and see what you can find. There likely is a shop that took in animals prior to the shutdown and they can't...

Some reptile shops may be willing to take your Ts for a few days so long as you provide a fee.

They should have given notice. Claim allergies and ask for an ozone to be done (remove Ts for this as well but it will remove any residual toxins). After ozone, open your windows - length of time you can leave your windows depends on your current weather. I believe you'd want to stay out of the...

Place mat on one of the sides of the critter keeper, not on the bottom, not on the top. Put cup inside of keeper, on the side opposite of the heater (as in, as far as the cup can possibly go from the heater) leave the lid off of the keeper so as to not hold in too much heat. But a temporary set...

Update: Due to the awkward nature of the enclosures sizing wise, how unclean they are, and my suspicions that the Ts have been kept in these enclosures without appropriate maintenance probably since their obvious pet store purchase (One of the enclosures has a piece of paper secured with packing...

Lol I don't think I can even say I purchased the Ts as they, including the python, were supposed to be priced at a grand total of 330.00 Canadian and I walked away with all for 185.00 ha. One heck of a deal.
