I have a G. Pulchra that I got as 1 inch sling in Feb. 2001. I have examined several molts, decided that it was male, and have also sent a molt to Swifty's for sexing, who also said it is male. This particular tarantula is now 5 years old. It shows no signs of being a mature male, hangs...

Botar has them. :) Blue Fang Skeleton (Ephebopus cyanognathus) 1.5 in $75 I have one too. Its certainly my favorite!

There's 19 of them total. They are from about 2 to 3 inches. Each pic is a different little one. I like the peanut butter jars, but I think the rubbermaid ones look better. Thanks for looking!

Here's a few pics of my OBT's.

Hi, I'm going to move in a couple months and I am trying to work out how to bring all my animals with me. This includes 27 tarantulas, five ferrets, and three cats. In this post, I'm not concerned with moving the cats or ferrets, I've travelled across country with them before, but the...

Thanks for all the replies! I'm going to clean out her cage this weekend and put in fresh substrate and a new hide. Another question: What is lymph? What does it look like? And what does it mean and what would I do if it was?

Help, what causes something like this? Is her hide too small? The aquarium is a 30 gallon, humidity is 75-80 and temp is 75. She has a leg span of may 6.5 to 7.5 inches (I've not measured since her last molt). She hasn't kicked hairs that I know of or had any reason to. The last time I...

Hello, My Avic Purpurea just molted in a mature male. I currently have no breeding plans. What have been your experiences with their life spans after ultimate molt if they're not bred? Thanks! Lisa

I have several spiderlings. I found one of them dead today. I'm not surprised since this particular specimen never had a good molt. Always lost a couple legs and the last time couldnt get the abdomen piece off, but survived anyway. My problem is that when I pulled it out, it had sand like...

Thanks for the help! They were able to climb the sides of my kritter keeper. I watched them do it successfully. But it was a small one and is pretty old. I went with the tall plastic container with no lid idea and it works perfect.

I have a cricket set up in a kritter keeper, but the pinheads are small enough to get out through the slats. I would like suggestions on keeping them in something they cant escape from, but can still live in. Any ideas and/or pics will be appreciated! Thanks!

I did call the rescue people. They said I should have taken it to the other side of the road it wanted to cross. I guess she didnt catch that it was an interstate and no one in their right mind would do that. Well, at least I wouldnt, running out into 70 mile an hour, rush hour traffic just...

Okay, so on my way to work this morning down a 70 mile an hour highway, I see a turtle in the middle of my lane. Not wanting it to get hit by any other cars, I stopped and picked it up. However, I didnt want to walk into the tall prairie grass, down the embankment to the fence at the bottom...

OBTs are opportunistic burrowers, some will dig shallow burrows, some will live semi arboreal, and most will adopt preexisting shelters/ burrows. My OBT webbed himself a hammock in the top corner of his enclosure and from there made all kinds of tubes with multiple entrances. When I moved him...

I lived in Olathe, Kansas. Now I live just outside of Lawrence in Eudora. My parent's property in Olathe is in the oldest section of town (the house was built in 1852 according to the title deed) and has a lot of land that backs up to a creek. The garage is an out building behind the house...

I looked up the scientific name they had on that site and learned that Dugesiella Hentzi became Aphonopelma hentzi. In sites that I looked at it was claimed by Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri so it seems it has a southern midwest dispersion. It also had several common names such as...

Hmmm... I have seven tarantulas, those together cost about $202 (A. Avic, A. Purpurea, G. Pulchra, G. Rosea, P. Murinus, T. Blondi, H. Lividum). I also lost another $115 on a bad deal. :mad: I'd estimate on cages, hides, and substrate over three years about $150 to $200. Thats just the...

I ask because I'd really like to modify a plant terrarium to house an arboreal tarantula. The description says its been "sealed with lead metal for the stained glass effect." I know that lead is not good for humans. Will the lead content harm the T? It the terrarium is kept humid, will there...

I dont know where you are, but pet stores, especially aquarium stores have the sealant. The last time I bought it, I think I got it from Pet Smart.

I think it most likely has the most to do with what the dealer has an abundance of. The first order I ever placed was to Realm of Inverts about 3 years ago. I ordered a G. pulchra and was given a A. Avic, much to my surprise. I was so new I didnt know freebies were often included. And...
