First my existing pets.
I have two Budgeys and a 6 year old yellow winged parakeet
My Pueblan Milksnake is 10, and I recently added the interactive background to his enclosure.
At that same expo, my wife bought a female chuckwalla. and had fun researching good tank setups on herp forums and...
I have been a keeper of many many animals over the years, but this is my first time keeping and Tarantula (or true spider) So here is my log of the first 30 days.
definitions. measurements in metric are confirmed with the molt. measurements in English standard are guesses (as an American I am...
Wait what!!!. peat is made of seaweed (irish moss) i hade no clue, and i use both regularly for decades now....
i wonder if i can save money using my irish moss to make my own peat...
EDIT: looking it up peat is any vegetation organic material in a state of decomposition. most often sphagnum...
be secretive, or double crossing.my wife is.
just recently my wife approved two new spiders, ,(one also avic. purpurea) the catch, i have to give her what i have been fighting against for ten years.... a plastic Christmas tree.
i took that trade. find what he wants to trade for, and offer. it...
I do "not have sufficient privledges to view the content in the watering hole"
i wonder, do i need to post more, or exist longer.
I do like the very structured tiers of privileges. I noticed I was highly restricted on Emotes, and i am still slightly restricted. I think i used to be...

When i was living in Texas, the scorpions in the wild were really skittish and wod run like cockroaches when you turned on a light or disturbed them. (Check your boots though, i shook a few out, and they cant hide or run when your foot blocks the only exit.)
I had a few as pets, but they...
I disagree.
We have it good here, Arachnoboards is the largest Tarantula forum on the internet so its not the best example for this kind of comparison. (also check BTS and ATS)
sure we got it made in the shade over several hobbys (myrmecology's best forum ,'formiculture' , is very small and...
yes, but if you reject knowledge and learning and only embrace experience, youll end up like quite a few youtubers who STILL tell people Avicularia's need to live in an unventilated swamp.
Edit: i am not suggesting "You" i already know you are more knowledgeable than that. just a general term...
levels of fly skill.
0-1 level. acknowledge that flies exist, i can spot them, but use tools to take em down.
2 level. realizing that if one corners a fly against the window, they are insanely easy to get with a hand.
3. winter slows them down. use that.
4. can kill a fly midair, indoors, no...
I think tourism is going to be a hot button to come as tourists slowly ruin everything for everyone. Every year there are more tourists than before and from more places and watching them destroy arches in the desert, get kicked off everest because they dont want all the corpses up there...
Sort of not really involved. But Arthur C Clarke immigrated to sri lanka, one of his last books was a marvel to read. the first 60% is very inciteful on Sri Lankan culture. but after the aliens arrive it becomes so bad I cant believe it is written by him.
The Last Thereom.
i bet Charlotte and Shelob are the most common two names.
My Caribena versicolor is Vlad, because she keeps hanging her victims heads on display on one section of web.
my Avicularia avicularia, is named Havilah (Avicularia is latin for little bird, so Havilah from fiddler on the roof seemed...
good advice. ill keep this in my head
, but this is likely a year or two down the line. I think I want to have a Psalmopoeus or Pseudoclamoris rehouse, that goes difficult, before I go OW.
(i picked those because of what i hear of speed, and difficulty too deal with (for NWs). but im not up...
"Invisibilus nonapplicapus". formerly species name nonexistus but i read somewhere the revised the whole genus.
not up to old worlds yet, I am quite comfortable right now with a Megaphobema as my most advanced Tarantula. at less than a month in.
in Six months I will reassess my capabilities...
