    Review by 'Buggzter' on item 'Austin S.'

    This missing spider was a gift for my daughter's birthday that was 8 days ago now. My last email received from Scott Spears at 03Arachnids was 9/28/19, where he promised to send a Hapalopus triseriatus ‘highland’ to replace the Columbia large, as the two he had died molting (per the email). I...

    New Emperor.... I think. :)

    Thank you so much! Picked it up for only $30, so I'm pretty stoked! Looking forward to studying this scorp as it hunts and explores. :)

    New Emperor.... I think. :)

    Hi everyone! My family just picked up a new emperor scorp from a local, nice price too! Due to so many mis-IDs out there, once been looking around to be sure. I am about 80% on emperor, 20% no clue. Hubby is out buying the proper substrate stuff now, so forgive the hermit crab travel cage...

    Stiped leg bad moult, bleeding from base of leg!!!

    *striped leg... oops... Ok, last year she moulted right side up. Lost one pedipalp, and one leg was mangled from being stuck in the old moult. This year, she did it AGAIN!!!... I don't know too many details since I wasn't there until the very end, but she was right-side up, with one leg still...

    "Safe" caging issues

    I'm dealing with something VERY stupid. My daughter's father and I are speaking with a judge about custody issues and child support, and Justin complained about the 24 tarantulas I have... He said that they were in "flimsy boxes" "all over my house"... Um... They are all in proper-sized...

    Looking into Grammostola rosea baby... Need Help.

    ps - I also have one MM, a really pretty one that I didn't mind buying a male. Rusty is a nice T, too, no doubt. But it's how you want to do things. Babies you can see how they change from tiny baby to full grown adult. Adult female could even be anywhere from 4-5 years old to even 20 years or...

    Looking into Grammostola rosea baby... Need Help.

    My 2nd and 3rd T's were little 1/2" baby roseas. They are little cuties, all fuzzy and peachy. We got them in 2" deli cups, and left them in there will about 1/2" substrate. Gave them flightless fruitflies until the next shed, and then we used teeny little 1/8" crickets. Now, they are about 2"...

    Bad shed led to bad legs... can I help?

    Awesome - thanks. I haven't dealt with T's for too long, so it's good to know they can take care of themselves so much more than the other critters we have (36 T's, 1 scorp, 1 fish just need food/water. 18 need cleaning, feeding, interaction, yadda yadda yadd... lol!) :D

    Bad shed led to bad legs... can I help?

    I know I do. :) But then, I do have a little girl just turning two... lol! :D As for bleeding, no, I don't see any. She CAN move the leg (the back leg isn't working well but usable, but the third leg is mangled), but I don't think it helps her at all. We'll see what happens by 3 weeks from...

    Is this normal for a G.aureostriata?

    Awesome! Congrats! :D

    Bad shed led to bad legs... can I help?

    My Lasiodorides striatus (maybe) shed Tues night. (6.5" before moult) She did it right-side-up, and had a problem with getting her right side (if we're facing the same way she's facing) out of the shed. She lost one pedipalp, and one leg's last two segments are mangled looking. two other...

    Huahini Venom Level

    Didn't read it, but I don't doubt it. People want to be significant in SOME way, so they blow stories out of proportion. And these bite reports can't be verified. But, with so many people saying that the bites are so much worse and they needed to seek medical attention about it, I'll believe...

    Huahini Venom Level

    Buck, I'm curious: What sort of evidence are you looking for to prove/disprove that OW bites are or are not worse than NW bites? Just curious. It's alot like the religious discussions - people need SO MUCH EVIDENCE to believe something, or to change their opinions. Sometimes, though, no amount...

    Handling

    It's REALLY hard, but if your T is so reluctant, give it a break for 2-3 days. Lots of dark, lots of quiet, well watered and fed. Then try one of the methods mentioned above or in links above. Take your time, be VERY slow in doing this, and it may work. Like each person is different, so is each...

    Smoke and Tarantulas

    Ha! Whatever works for you, dude. I'm just glad I'm saved - all those doughnuts were NOT good for my body, and Christ died so I wouldn't have to pay for my sins. Smoking, overeating, whatever. LOL! YAY!!!! I don't have to worry about those doughnuts! (ok, not too bad on the weight - 150 at...

    Smoke and Tarantulas

    lol! I was a singer the first time I was offered. I had a competition a couple days later, so I said no. I never was offered since then, since I kept singing and the only friends that did smoke respected that. I was lucky. By the time I MIGHT have tried (emotional state, people I was around), I...

    Is this normal for a G.aureostriata?

    PLEASE post pics of how she looks after the shed is over! I wanna see what mine will look like after a shed later... I think this whole thing with raising tarantulas is awesome... I'll soon post a pic of my baby chaco - it's amazing the colors are already coming in at such a tiny size! :D I'm...
