    Can I keep desert scorpions at room temp?

    Ok cool, I've used CHEs before for reptiles. How would I use one for a baby though?

    Can I keep desert scorpions at room temp?

    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.

    Can I keep desert scorpions at room temp?

    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...

    Officially a Year and a Half Without Eating

    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.

    NEED HELP FAST!!

    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...

    NEED HELP FAST!!

    I dropped my H. Spinifer on the ground and I think hemoglymph is spilling out, what do I do?

    Springtails

    Not sure about this but from my understanding they also help prevent other types of mites infesting by competing for resources.

    Collection Suggestions!!!

    Just want to make sure. When you say handled your P. regalis, do you mean physically or do you mean you dealt with it well?

    Mites?

    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.

    @cold blood what's the difference? I just looked up a picture of both but I can't see any noticeable differences.

    Spider ID Please

    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".

    Is my care okay?

    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...

    Is my care okay?

    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...

    Is my care okay?

    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.

    What's this on her tail?

    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.

    Hello

    Hey James! Welcome to the boards. What kind of Tarantula are you thinking of getting? depending on the species we can specify the tips a bit more.

    So this happened

    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...

    So this happened

    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...
