    Where to find the most up to date solifugae care info?

    Ok, I'll be certain to get one of the smallest critter keepers I can find and I'll hang onto the deli cup in case it gets antsy and upset. Edit: additionally what type of sand would you recommend?

    Where to find the most up to date solifugae care info?

    They already had a cricket in with her (going to assume it's a female I dunno I'd have to see a comparison between a male and female to tell) so I think they're feeding her a little too much, just judging by her massive abdomen.I'm gonna get her a critter keeper with some good substrate for...

    Where to find the most up to date solifugae care info?

    Dunno, gonna go today and grab a pic and see if the fine people on this forum can help ID it Edit: went to see the little fella, here's a pic of him. The shop keeper bought her at an expo because she was cool. He didn't know the exact scientific name but said it was "an Egyptian one" very hairy

    Where to find the most up to date solifugae care info?

    The local reptile shop has a solifugae for sale, I was reading a bit of the "Solifugae live longer than we thought" thread but I was wondering if anyone has a more concise up to date care sheet for them (or just info in a more concise form) including the info found in that thread. I'll be...

    Dumbest things you've heard about inverts

    I hate when folks call any large beetle a "june bug" while there is a group of beetles called june bugs they will call any of our native Ontario beetles this. I find people call grapevine beetles this a lot. Not the stupiest thing, but a massive pet peeve of mine

    Enclosure/Terrarium Pictures

    New setup for an OBT, lots (maybe too much lol) of eco earth for burrowing plus some drift wood and mopani wood (and a silk plant) for hiding under and webbing up real good. 5.5 gallons, I want to replace the screen lid with a plexiglass lid too.

    Substrate for OBT

    I've been wanting an OBT and I've found a shop that sells them locally but I wanted to know what substrate would be good for allowing the tarantula to burrow. I'll be providing lots of substrate for her plus hidey places so she can web it up and create a little safe hidey hole. My thoughts were...

    Live Plants for OBT Enclosure

    I probably wouldn't go for that because it would just be like a weird little tumbleweed 99% of the time. I'll probably pick up a fake plant made of silk or plastic. Something that will hang down and provide some cover as well as several peices of driftwood or cork.

    Live Plants for OBT Enclosure

    Yeah I was worried about that, looks like live plants is a no go for OBT enclosure

    Live Plants for OBT Enclosure

    Is it possible? Taking the wellbeing of the tarantula into consideration first. I wonder is it possible to place a plant such as a succulent into an enclosure for an OBT, the succulent would likely need supplemental light would this upset the tarantula? The light wouldn't be on 24/7, I would...

    My first sling

    Sadly things fell through with the breeder so no Nhandu tripepii sling for me. Haven't given up on getting a tarantula though!

    My first sling

    Great idea, I prefer keeping mealworms to crickets anyway.

    My first sling

    What would be an appropriate prey item? Maybe a cricket leg?

    My first sling

    (Not my photo or my hand) this is a photo from the breeder's facebook page. I assume this is the size of the Nhandu I will be meeting them to buy later today (caption said these were the N. tripepii) It's not 1 and a half inches more like, half an inch. Perhaps I read the listing incorrectly or...

    My first sling

    I wasn't sure as to what point they stop being slings and start being juvinilles. I'll be sure to post pics so everyone can see

    My first sling

    Tomorrow I am going to purchase my first sling from a local breeder. The spiderling is a Nhandu tripepii and I am told it is 2 and a half inches at the time of writing. The breeder said they would send the sling home in the enclosure it is living in, I'm told it is a plastic deli cup. I'll also...
