    Reputable breeder not responding?

    Agree with Ken I really think you need to use the reviews when determining who to buy from. Ken is right becuase him and I are very similiar with keeping full time jobs, being married with kids, and trying to run our business. Ken probably has the largest invert stock in the country and I run...

    A. Versicolor Sling died...

    avic slings I keep hundreds of avics slings and it is very rare for one to die. This is how I keep them. 1. I use 40-50 dram vials (I prefer the 50 for more height) 2. I use about 2 " of coco-fiber and keep it pretty wet. 3. I drill a lot of holes in the lid for airflow. 4. I put a piece of...

    Tarantulas with very small eggsacs?

    M balfouri The price is tough be there are no better moms than these. They are communal and the mother will raise babies from eggs to adults. Very few spiders exist in the world like this plus they are amazing to look at and creative webbers.. James

    Which Terrestrial is the Most Aggressive Eater?

    lol I agree with the Miss as Pamphobetus are eating machines along with Xenesthis. Both also grow very fast. If your looking for an eating and growing beast these are the best, but watch your hand as it might be there next meal;P ;P James

    Shipping costs

    shipping Well I ship and receive a lot of spiders. I have had the same luck with both Priority and Express with the only difference being people buying Express expect next day which is not always the case. The spiders if packed well can handle a lot more than you think. My Aussie import took 8...

    check it out Avicularia seladonium

    interesting I have been looking for quite some time and have never seen these offered on any list in Europe for sale. I have some friends with some but it will be some time and I expect the price to be pretty high. I also don't agree with the 20 year deal as I know a German that got busted...

    Do you get upset when your new sling is bigger than advertised?

    lol I buy lots of spiders from Europe and they measure body size in cm. So it's always fun when people ask me so what size are the spiders your getting because in the US we use full length. All you can do is give your best guess. When I sell here my spiders for the most part are usually a...

    Feeding Pinktoes

    set-up Whatever I use as climbing material cork board, cork bark, I leave plenty of space if possible to the top so when they web against it it does not get in the way of the opening. With that said it does happen and all you can do is open slow at an angle and try and leave most of the webbing...

    P. Metallica: whats the big rush

    have to ask If all your concerned about is money I'm not sure of your point. Even if you buy a sling for $175 it can be a pet or an investment. If your Metallica turns out to be a male then your can loan it out or sell it in the $250 range. So how do you really loose out here? Second, if your...
