Thanks everyone! Any suggestions on how to heat the enclosure? I used to keep my old desert scorpions in my furnace room with added heat. I live in a smaller apartment now so I cant really do that.
Hey all! After a 2 year break from seriously keeping inverts I'm looking to get back in the game. I have not been able to find up to date information on this question. Can you keep desert scorpions at room temp (65-75*F) like T's or is it essential for them to have very high temps? Any help...
Been a while since I was here but just thought it was kind of interesting that it has officially been a year and a half since my A. chalcodes ate. Still a very plump lad. Also first time in many months that it has left it's burrow.
Yeah, sorry about the section I was in a hurry and I just clicked on the one I would normally use with my T's. I have heard to put baking soda on dropped T's, would this help? I normally never handle but I was doing an experience with someone who is afraid so I was trying to get them to hold it...
Hi everyone, a little while ago I bought a baby corn snake and a juvenile fat tail gecko and I may have found evidence of mites on both. I could not get a picture of the gecko but I will try to get one tomorrow. This is the corn snake. Does anyone have any thoughts? I hear that mites appear as...
@Drea I used to live in the okanagan and my family was in the pool when my mom found a spider in the pool and tried to pick it up with her hands. I very clearly saw it as a black widow. I told her not to pick it up but she tried anyway, I hit her hand away and moved it away using a Tupperware. I...
@Drea Sadly I just took the picture and left it alone so there is pretty much no chance I will see it again. I did try to feed it a very small meal worm but it just ran away.
Found this spider in my laundry room. I very rarely see inverts in my house other than ants and daddy long legs. Can someone help out? It was found in eastern Canada if that helps. It was about 1/4"-1/2".
Thank you everyone for the great advice! In the near future I am going to buy an acrylic enclosure for it so I will definitely get some fake leaves for that enclosure. Thank you for the tip about warm water I will definitely get that off once I rehouse it. For the acrylic enclosure, most I have...
Great! My main concern (which I probably should have mentioned above) is that for the first couple of months that I had it, it basically never webbed. It made some small lines and connections around but very little webbing. It only made this huge web around 3 weeks ago and I was just wondering...
Hey everyone, I got this A. avicularia a couple months ago now and I just want to make sure that I'm doing it right. Pictures are attached. The spider seems to be doing great but I just want to be extra sure and have some of you more experienced keepers take a look.
Looks like its just some sub, my H. spinifer is constantly covered in sub but she cleans herself off every once and a while. If its not a problem then the scorpion will take a while to clean itself.
I apologise for my misunderstanding with the T. grandis. I saw a scientific name and assumed it was a tarantula. I have seen the video of the wolf spider being helped by the person and I do see that the spider calms down but I do not consider this high functioning brain activity. I see this as...
Some of this might not be totally accurate so if someone disagrees with what I say feel free to correct me.
1. Based on your description and the name "stripe knee" I assume it is a Acanthoscurria geniculata.
2. Tarantulas have very poor eyesight and can really only see light and movement so...
