If I can get a gf then ANYONE can. ;) Assume that 99% of gals(or any1) you meet will not be okay with...

    What is a fair price for this CL tarantula?

    Lol at least it has a healthy appetite. I think thats a good buy considering that people jack the prices way up with size. The tank was also a good deal. They used to go for 10 bucks even with no lid but these days its at least 30 for a tank plus normal screen lid. Sliding lock lid top would...

    Hey Scott, I just got your package right on time. I've gotta say...... wow. Your packaging is amazing. Better than any & every website spider shop I've ordered from. Big thanks for the tiny enclosures as well. The versis look great in them =) All of the spiders were healthy, active, &...

    Is this a legit complaint?

    Thats really unprofessional especially from an experienced breeder/seller. I've ordered from a really well known dealer that has a nice big website that I'm sure a lot of you have ordered from. It was in the websites earlier days & I purchased some tiny slings with a hefty price tag. Well...

    Stupidest thing youve ever done while careing for Ts and other inverts

    This I used to just leave lids sitting on top of the cups/jars as to not disturb the Ts right after they catch their prey. Unfortunately, sometimes you forget to close them for a day & you end up finding missing Ts a few weeks later X_X Don't handle Ts over hard flooring... especially large...

    Selling tarantulas in a safe way

    If there are any kids out there who were anything like me as a child... then most definitely yes :cool: I had so many reptiles, exotic animals, birds, bred rabbits, bred sugar gliders, tissue cultured plants when I was 13. I had my own accounts to chemical vendors for lab supplies... Lol my...

    Are these good first tarantulas?

    Have you thought about buying a bit of a larger tarantula for your very 1st? Slings can be trickier to feed & less forgiving than mid sized T's for sure. They're prone to dry out if you happen to forget about them. If you're unable to readily find the right sized feeders & your mom isn't okay...

    can i feed my sling maggots from a rotting orange

    No opinion if they're fine for slings because I'd never bother with it while there are easier options out there. I used cut crickets or baby red runners. I've never had a sling refuse a piece of juicy, delicious, gooey insect pieces. BUT, for you fisherman out there, maggots are great crappie...

    Review by 'Tearsacid' on item 'Vixvy'

    Vix is more than happy to answer all questions in a timely manner. Very good communication. His packing is very unique and he knows what hes doing. You can tell when a breeder takes pride in what he does by the health & quality of his animals. It shows & he cares for customers to be just as...

    Your choice of substrate?

    I use plain peat moss or a mix of coco fiber. I don't use coco fiber or eco earth alone on burrowers because it dries really crumbly & caves in. Most webbers are fine with it. You can get peat moss & coco coir or coco bricks for really cheap at home depot. A good sized bag of peat is $5 and a...

    So I bought a shipping kit (AllProShipping)

    I agree b/c I know for a fact that for fedex drivers here in Dallas its normal to have over 100 stops which is much higher than smaller towns/cities. I'm sure that makes them a lot more careless when speeding around to finish. My buddy gets off work hours and hours earlier than the new guys who...

    So I bought a shipping kit (AllProShipping)

    I have too many reasons to list so I'll keep it as short as possible.. lol For 1, their prices are ridiculous especially for their sub-par service. Over $60 for overnight and over $30 for 2 day when usps offers overnight for less than fedex 2-day (25-30usd) They deliver at random hours & never...

    Release your roach colony to keep it well fed just in case?

    Feeding juveniles?

    Is the food smaller than the T? Prekill it & leave it there for a day to see if it takes. A lot of breeders prekill all crickets when feeding slings. They usually eat them just as well & its a lot of trouble checking on hundreds or thousands of slings.

    So I bought a shipping kit (AllProShipping)

    Thats unbelievable. So... you basically paid for a used box. The kind we get our slings & plants in then save for later use. Lol I agree with Coldblood. You can get unlimited shipping boxes for free at usps (I DON'T SUPPORT FEDEX!) & then you can get a sheet of foamboard at home depot for under...

    Amazing Local Petstore

    Agreed! We see rose hairs & the occasional A Avic around here. I once saw a chaco, curly hair, & Mexican red knee at one shop. Uncommon find for a local place! Lol

    What do Urticating hairs feel like to you?

    I agree with those who mentioned fiberglass insulation. It feels a little itchy for an hour or so. For T blondi & stirmi I get an itchy feeling at the back of my throat & my neck & chest itch for a whole day. Its nothing like poison oak or ivy for me. I react 100x worse to those. I get bad...
