    It's mimicking a triatome? It has a connexivum! Awesome!

    Answered Ts available for pairing

    Not sure if this is the place to put this post, but I was wondering if there is a place to post about mature spiders available for pairing.

    Comment by 'Entomologist210' in media 'Eresus walckenaeri'

    If you focus on only the eyes and the suture, it kind of looks like a little owl face. Adorbs!

    That sucks, but are you sure the hemolymph wasn't a result of tearing a weakened cuticle as you extracted her from the hole?

    Mesostigmatid mites are my favorite! The millipede is cool too.

    Good first arboreal that isn’t an Avic/Caribena/Ybyrapora?

    I agree with Arachnophoric. Psalmopoeus spp. are definitely doable. I kind of jumped into the deep end and bought one as my first arboreal before getting an Avicularia avicularia and I have no regrets. It *is* MUCH faster than my avic, but also has a better feeding response and tends to be...

    Other Arboreal Species Besides Avicularia

    I think they both end up looking very similar once they reach adulthood. I got fooled when I first started looking into various Avicularia spp. and related genera, thinking that they all looked very different until I realized those different colors were from slings and juveniles.

    Scorpion enrichment - do they need it?

    I don't think they have the neural capacity for such endeavors. Also "enrichment"? You been talking to the IACUC people?

    Avicularia enclosure question

    I got the same thing with my Caribena versicolor that I ordered from Jamie's. It was OK for a while, but I moved her out to a drilled enclosure after a few molts because it seemed like the enclosure wasn't drying out like it should have been.

    Are these mites?

    They do *not* look like mites to me. Positioning is too random and they are way too big and shiny (in the second pic they look reflective).

    What are there worms?

    Can't tell from the image. Look like vermiform fly larvae, but they could be anything. What's the humidity like in the enclosure? Is it bioactive?

    Other Arboreal Species Besides Avicularia

    I recently got a Psalmopoeus cambridgei <edit> and I friggin' love it. Not the most colorful except in personality, and definitely a looker otherwise.

    Help please-Mite infestation on emperor slings

    If you want to knock the mites off you can always use the shake 'n scrape method we use for beetles (though it will DEFINITELY piss off your scorpions). Get a jar and fill it halfway with cornmeal, then place the scorpion in it. Shake until the mites are free and then retrieve the scorpion...

    Springtails? Mites?

    They look like Isotomid springtails. I deal with mites every day (<-- acarologist) and they don't look like mites. That's just based on what I can see in the picture though. The fact that they have antennae at all means they can't be mites. Even the bigger prostigmatid mites that hold their...
