That's a good call, start selling them before they're even born haha. Do you have any idea how many are produced from each sac? I've heard a really broad range, from 400+ to 1000 like I mentioned. I want to breed something easy where I'm likely not to get the male eaten, and I noticed these lil...

Hey, I have a breeding pair of "Nicaraguan" curly hairs. Their cages have been sitting on top of each other, and tapping away, so I separated them. I'm going to try and pair my cobalt blues, my goal is to someday be living off of breeding feeder roaches and tarantulas. So, my point is that I'm...

It was no longer moving by the time I started to "operate". I honestly think if I had intervened sooner it might have been helped but I was really nervous to. I freed the carapace and got the abdomen completely clean. I was able to get a lot of water wicking into the exo so I think it could've...

It's not an avic tho, it's a chilobrachys. My avics/ybyrapora/caribena/psalmopoeus etc. are all succeeding in life. My asian burrowers are not. I've learned some things from coldblood, I'll have to find a way to make sure they always have a full water dish, even if they tend to bulldoze their...

1st pic sides 1/2 one has xtra vent, the others are just one line on 2nd pic, u can see a buried water dish i put a dish w/some fresh water right in front of it in its burrow. here’s a pic from the top It's now trying to molt. It popped its carapace off and new abdomen split the old. I'm...

It does but it will not leave it alone so I had just been misting the webs and pouring water deep into the sub. The dish is buried/webbed up but I will try to put another one right in front of it. I keep the sub damp, but I'm definitely trying not to over-do it. What actions do you think I...

Hey guys! I need some help! A small life is at stake! I have had some trouble w/asian tarantulas, I've had a Malaysian Earth Tiger die, and I love my Chilobrachys sp blue, which I got around the same time. It has been a champ, but on Friday night I noticed it was curled up and not moving. I...

I'd say female on the curly hair too but can't make out the individual hairs around their privates, which is the detail you need to see epiandrous fusillae 100%. But I'd say 2 females. The flap opening is pointing towards their bum, so for your own research, shine the light down the abdomen like...

Looks female 80-90% I'd say, but you can't see the actual fusillae. I do think I see a flap tho! If you get a chance to look at alrdy sexed avics in-person, it'll help your eye find the shapes. I have 25 species and the avic/caribena/ybyrapora are fuzzy and trickier I think. Sometimes when...

Idk if it'll help but you can take pretty clear photos thru a magnifier.

it looks female but the pic isn’t very clear. only need to see between the book-lungs, try to get a better pic cuz ventral sexing w/avic’s is difficult.

Hey ya'll, I've been unable to find an answer to some questions I've had on dubia roach growth. First off, do dubia molt in a similar way to tarantulas? Being they eat til they've got the required nutrients, stop, and then molt? Or is it more time-related, to where they're just eating and...

Gotcha, yeah if I wanted to get it out, I could have, but I gave the cricket, she caught it quickly. Then she was in "hunting mode", became very sensitive it seems, and very slowly scooped the roach. So she ate them separately afaik, grabbed the roach rly gently & sneaky-like :0 All happened w/...

i like your alien 2 quote lol

Gotcha, yeah she has already had a single-cricket meal since the molt, I've raised her & all of my lil friends from slings so I'm not feeding her too early :) I've just heard about problems w/feeders and so I just wanted to run it by peeps b4 I tried, but ya that makes sense. I think the roach...

Did you already hit the expo? If so, what'd you get?!?!?!?!? Off the list you're considering, I'd recommend the aureotibialis or the phormingochilus sp rufus. Ppl haven't mentioned that some of the asian arboreals build really neat stuff, my sp rufus almost builds up each cage to look like lil...

Hey ya'll! I had an idea today, and I wanna know if anyone thinks it could be dangerous or detrimental to my T before I try it. I gave my female avic a male dubia today, tried to feed off tongs but she gets scared of them sometimes, the roach grabbed onto the webbing, so I let it go. Now...

Gotchaaaa that makes sense. I've read that people were keeping them at higher temps but that's exactly what I needed to hear. I can't say I've fed the T too much, mostly crickets, i keep good notes so it's about 2 crickets a week on avg during the ~70 days it was eating. If "she" turns out to...
