    Halloween Crabs!

    It is more I just happen to have a 20 gallon, lol! I would be fine upgrading if I decide to get one. I have had it planted and ready for an inhabitant for a while, just can`t decide on what to put into it. But yes if they do better as a single pet then that would work and it sounds like a really...

    Halloween Crabs!

    LOL! Good point about the plants, I had not thought about that! Someone said they will not EAT the plants but I never thought about them being dug up, lol! Would a 20 gallon be big enough for one? And is it true that if you keep a pair they don`t do well? I plan to order them online as I do not...

    Halloween Crabs!

    I have a 20 gallon tank that is planted and all set up for a little creature, but I am not sure what to put in it. I had thought about hermit crabs, and while looking for information on their care I came across Halloween crabs. But I am having a hard time finding care information for them. From...

    When I do a flash it just picks up the glass and you can`t see anything.

    LOL, yes I know. I would only want one. Let the breeder deal with the rest, lol! well that is good to hear! My rose hair that was my first tarantula lived about four years or so after I go him even though he was already matured. So who knows?

    Thanks. I was thinking of trying to find someone to breed him so I could keep maybe one of the babies. He has such `tude! I really love the little (kind of.....not really) guy

    "Polka dots" on freshly moulted tarantula

    Mind you, I am not arguing with you :) Just want to see how to avoid this in the future. Honestly what you said is a HUGE relief.

    "Polka dots" on freshly moulted tarantula

    How though? These spots showed up the day she molted. She didn`t have time to rub them off or kick hairs.

    Actually really sad :(

    My LP moulted a week or two ago and today while cleaning out his tank I saw he has matured out into a male. I always called him "he" because I hate saying "it" even if I don`t know their sex. I am actually really sad about this. I have had him since he could fit on my thumbnail. and he grew so...

    @RezonantVoid LOL! Yes it is! I am covered in hives right now because my LP haired me while I was cleaning out his tank! And it took a lot of prayer and juggling to get him into a cup so I could even get into his tank because he is SUPER defensive. Then I found out he moulted out into a mature...

    @RezonantVoid I am hoping that is all it is. She is quite pretty :) Her name is Arachne. I don`t handle my tarantulas so not sure as far as temperament, but when I clean out her tank or do anything with her she is very cooperative. Plus she handles to Colorado dryness really well.

    Comment by 'Melancholy Newt' in media 'Brachypelma vagans spots?'

    @RezonantVoid She is a B. Vagans. She (mind you, she is not confirmed female, I just don`t like using "it") just moulted a week or two ago. These spots were on her when she was freshly moulted. I am wondering if they are just hairs that did not grow in. But she is not really a hair kicker since...

    "Polka dots" on freshly moulted tarantula

    Sorry it took me so long to post this. I cleaned out her tank today though and then she was sitting up on the glass and it was a good view of the spots I am talking about. She is moving around great, not acting out of the ordinary for her. There are several of these little spots randomly all...

    Brachypelma vagans spots?

    Does anyone have any idea what these spots can be? She is a B. Vagans. She moulted about two weeks ago and the spots were on her when she was fresh out of her moult. They are all over her abdomen. She is acting normal and moving around just fine.

    "Polka dots" on freshly moulted tarantula

    I had wanted to try to sex her with this moult then I saw the spots and dissected her moult to see if there were similar spots before that I had just somehow missed. Usually I take the moults into my job (I work in an animal hospital) and use an otoscope to look at them since my eyesight isn`t...

    "Polka dots" on freshly moulted tarantula

    I know. I am kind of thinking I will try again when she has had more time to recover. She usually sits out in the open but right now she is in her hide still.
