Ive been recommended to use Feliway, which works like a glade plugin, to reduce my cat's anxiety. I called the company's number and they said they didnt know of any interactions with invertebrates but keep it in a different room just to be safe. My inverts are in the basement, so i can just use...

I guess the time is right to try fish. Ive been keeping a close eye on the water and it hasnt developed fungus. Maybe from the spider stirring it! The soil underneath the surface is moist, you cant see it here. I am being careful with it for that fungus reason. I over dampened my M robustum and...

H. gigas taking a swim. She hangs out here most of the time and has not dug a deep burrow after being in this enclosure 4 months

Mexican Red Knee Mexican Fire Leg and Brazilian Black all grow very slowly, not the best choice for a sling. I think I would advise you to get one that's more grown for a first T, as that will be more fun to look at and less fragile than a baby, who could easily die from something unpreventable...

Is there an easy way to get this differentiating info other than official species descriptions and academic studies?

I just found my D. diamantinensis sitting with its abdomen/opistothoma rotated 90 degrees. I originally thought the book lungs were a swelling near the pedicel then i noticed the spinnerets were on their side too. It looked like from where the spider was standing, its butt just rolled downhill a...

I live in Louisville, Kentucky. This spider was on a window that the sun was on the other side of, so it's lit up from behind. It was a lot darker on other surfaces, I dont think i would even have been able to positively ID it as a spider and not an ant without that. Maybe 3-4 mm long. Im...

Tityus serrulatus just had babies!

Tityus serrulatus just had babies!

I've got a MM P ornata next to a MF P regalis and metallica and im wondering if his tapping is stressing them? Searched for a couple diff keywords and didnt find anything. Should I also separate any MMs that i dont hear tapping, because of pheromones etc?

keeeep it

My P marg's had babies about a month ago, and the babies still have small abdomens and havent molted that i can see. I was giving them the smallest B lateralis i could find for a while, but realized they were too big (about the size of a D melanogaster). So i regularly put springtails in as...

I have a friend with two Burmese pythons (i think) right next to each other and they eat fine, but if you try it and there's trouble you could just put cardboard or something on the side to block view

I have never used cardboard as it contains probably-toxic glue and breaks down quickly when wet. You dont have these issues?

Nah that seems fair, 1" is well established/ not as fragile as smaller

My GBB is special, its the only one ive had and when it was a baby it lived in a spice jar that my now-dead best friend gave me. Bummer, huh? I read that they were heavy webbers, and my experience with this one as a juvie showed me that enough that i set up its adult enc with baby doll limbs...

I have read that they do need less air, yes. Cant point to anything specific sorry

When was the last time the female molted?

If you dont use tongs at all how do you do it? grab a feeder with your hand and then chuck it into the enclosure? I have had Red runners cling to the out-of-view side of my hand and try to make a break for it. Usually i pick up the roach with tongs and drop it close to the spider, keeping the...
