    Please identify ant (wasp? other?)

    For the past couple of years I've spotted these on a very small fig tree in my yard. They appear and then a couple of days later they're gone. Until this year I only ever saw 1 of them, never more than about 1' above the ground. Last month I saw 2 on the same leaf. They are lightning fast...

    Male bettas crowded in a plastic cup at Walmart

    Next time you see 2 bettas in 1 cup go to the manager and tell them holding animal fights is illegal and see how they react.

    Large spider, what species?

    Just don't get bit by it. Many people, me included, react badly to their bites. I'll either get huge clustered blisters or half my arm or leg, depending on where I get bit, will swell to at least twice its normal size. Luckily the bite itself isn't painful since the araneus species are literally...

    In Which I Finally Get Wheel Bugs, Arilus cristatus :D

    We have them in fairly good numbers around the weedier areas here. They are attention grabbers - a bug you can't just walk past and say, "Oh, a wheel bug" and keep walking. You have to stop and admire.

    Big mistake

    You could "strap" it with some thin wire run tightly around it where it is bulging to stop it from spreading. That shouldn't interfere with your ability to see the T.

    cobalt blue balls??

    Guys, you just take a cobalt blue and gently put it in your deepest pocket. Then you take a long walk. It's quite possible that when you get home you'll have some of those too.

    Dog Issues

    Some of the herding breeds are hyper-sensitive to loud noises to the point of hysteria during thunderstorms and if people set off fireworks. It's much worse with loud noise if they've been hurt and yelled at. Patience and VERY gradual exposure to increasingly loud sounds while distracting in a...

    spent all day sunday nursing a sick rabbit >_<

    Rabbits can certainly have greens. The problem is that ALL dietary changes must be made very gradually. They are highly susceptible to digestive upset which is often fatal. Individual rabbits can also react differently to different types of greens. I once fed a small amount of leaves from...

    Help from the horse people

    Are his ears back when he's trying to keep from being caught? If they're perked up he's probably playing with you but if they're back (flat back, not just pointed backward to listen to you as he leaves you in a cloud of dust) he may be scared. If you don't want to use food treats you can try...

    How to feed really tiny slings!?!?!?

    My chacos grew very fast (less than a year from tiny slings to 4") but from what I've read on here that may be due to them being males. Apparently females take forever. I raised all my Ts from tiny slings starting with flightless fruit flies. When they could tackle the smallest dubia I...

    Homarus americanus

    You should check your state and local laws as well as the federal regulations. I know around here collecting of lobster is pretty strictly regulated.

    Rodent owners: Advice please! :)

    I've had tanks of mice that I've had to split up until some could be fed off. I've tried reintroducing young mice to the tank their mothers were in and they were mercilessly attacked. I've also tried adding adult mice to new tanks and to tanks that already had mice in them. In every instance...

    problem with my superworm colony?

    You should gently place them back into separate containers. If you don't, the first ones to emerge as adults may start eating the ones that haven't matured yet. Mine took forever. Apparently I have the slowest superworms on the east coast. By about 3 months after initially separating the adult...

    Any advice on G.aureostriata

    Mine love to excavate and move things around. I often see them moving from one side of the enclosure to the other with fangs and pedipalps clutching a clump of substrate. My males grew very fast. I'm hoping some of my slings are females since they seem to be growing much slower.

    first time drawing a T!

    I like that! I would frame it and hang it near my Ts. It might make a nice tat.
