    Salticus scenicus (Zebra jumping spider) hunting on my back porch

    hmm...maybe you should read this then. You may be unaware. Tone is not a variable here. <edit> Not making assumptions, my friend. Jumpers are my absolute favorite too, why didn’t you just say that? I’m convinced that if they were the size of a robber crab they’d kill us all. *sigh* if only...

    Can’t go wrong with a GBB, they’re bullet proof. Always visible, great appetite, heavy webber and the transitional color and pattern changes from sling to adult as they molt are really spectacular. Kick care sheets to the curb my friend and get your husbandry info here. It’ll server you and...

    Do you think The Container Store knows we're their customers?

    I had bought several AMAC boxes a year or so ago, sporting some KC Royals gear, and the cashier asked if I was going to put baseballs in them. Nope, tarantulas I said. She was instantly visibly horrified lol Some of them know and probably wish they didn’t

    Today in the Spider Room?

    What tarantula do you next want to get

    Poecilothera vittata, after much research and debate, will be my first Poeci. After I raise my P irminia and get some more experience under my belt that is. This is also depending if I can find one when I feel I'm ready.

    It's time to eliminate the entire human race

    If I could only wear the infinity gauntlet...oh baby! I'd get snap happy culling the herd man. I think it was late 80's? Went on a Boyscout camping trip to the Okefenokee swamp. Our scout master spotted an indigo and told us about how they were becoming rare. People were gassing gopher...
