    How to stimulate a MM to make a sperm web?

    I have had many males that dd not make sperm webs on their own for at least 4 weeks after maturing, so I know what you mean. I place a fair amount of the female's webbing in with him, or introduce him to the female but don't allow them to mate, just let them drum, and also feeding him may...

    Looking for breeders in/near Milwaukee

    Hi everyone! I am looking for reputable breeders (or someone who at least sells) crested geckos or ball pythons in the Milwaukee area (within 60 miles of the city). If I can't find anyone here, I can check out Chicago, but I was hoping there would be something closer. Maybe there is a reptile...

    I've been told around 7-10 years. So far, it is so cool, although it looks so fragile and I am so much more careful around it that with my T's. Also, males and females have similar lifespans - males don't mature and die quickly like T's do, so it's a win-win situation if you get any.

    Species Poecilotheria metallica

    Bugmomma that is one nice bug!! And props to rusty for handling a pokie! Very nice! Although I wasn't a member of L.A.T.E. at the time (it wasn't created yet) I did get to hold a P. metallica. Remember Rochelle? You and Jbrd were there. That was so cool they are definitely very neat...

    One of my favorite Pokies, P. striata. I wanted to take some pics of this stud while he is still around. He is such a sweetie, he has never threatened even after the ridiculous amount of poking and prodding I have subjected him to in order to get him into a ladies tank. I'd love to hold him...

    Feces! fecal matter! defication! poopie!

    Actually the best option, especially for you TNB, is just take her out and then clean it all you want. I know you've taken nasty-tempered, fast beasts out before, so this should be not much different.

    My A. Avic.

    I think what this person meant to say was don't mist the T directly, it may irritate her. However, you MUST mist the cage, whether she gets sprayed or not.

    Feces! fecal matter! defication! poopie!

    They were too small to tell yet, they were only 1" and hid all the time. But I know that they are giving someone a hard time, somewhere.

    Feces! fecal matter! defication! poopie!

    Just hearing you talk about these guys makes me want another one. I sold my slings before cuz I needed cash...now I'm sad. They grow slowly but are way cool. Anyway, maybe someone said this already, maybe not (I skimmed) but you could take a nice long dowel rod, as thin/thick and as short or...

    Male or Female?

    Sorry, there's absolutely no way to tell unless you have a ventral shot, a molt, or see palpal embolli

    Whitch is the fastest pokie from your experience?!

    I agree with that statement, but I know that I have seen my do the same burst of speed while upside down - and that cannot be a jump. I'm not trying to argue, after all, we all have better uses of our time. I'm just sick of all the hype surrounding pokies. Fastest? No. Most ferocious...

    Were you to breed one species to make a profit which would it be?

    B. boehmei, smithi or auratum. When was the last time someone had a sac of auratum? Everyone seems to like at least one of these, and most newbies get some. You could get hundreds of slings and sell them pretty cheap and still make out like a bandit. Of course, breeding for profit is a...

    Whitch is the fastest pokie from your experience?!

    I've kept several species of both pokies (regalis, formosa, striata, fasciata, rufilata, pederseni) and avics (versicolor, purpurea, minatrix, avicularia, and sp. amazonica), and I have seen all of them run like heck. The thing is, with avics (especially slings) they can be in one spot and move...

    Whitch is the fastest pokie from your experience?!

    Forget pokies, my A versicolor and minatrix can run circles around all of mine. My avics teleport quite regularly, and I've yet to see a pokie move as fast. But if I had to pick a POKIE, I'd say my MM P. rufilata is pretty dang fast.
