barc scorp I work at a Goodwill in Mesa AZ and I was lifting a box of donated items, it was rather heavy so I had it up against my stomach and I got stung just to the right of my belly button by a rather small bark scorpion. The initial pain was bad but not as bad as I thought it would be...

wow last night I bought one of those little hand held uv blacklight things and now I kinda wish I hadnt. I saw 12 of them, I caught two using salad tongs and I have them contained. Its hard cause they stay kinda close to the ground and near the cracks in my house, so everytime I try to get one...

Really want them? :) Charlie

Thank you very much. I Feel guilty about killing them, was looking for an alternative. I know for sure that telling the wife all you told me wont make her feel any better, probably have to do something to else to give her peace of mind but what you said kind of makes me feel better about the...

I just moved into a new house in chandler Arizona and I have a scorpion problem. Been here two weeks and I have seen multiple scorps. Bark scorps. I have kids and pets so I have been killing the ones I have seen but I know that there has to be somebody out there who wants them. It...

Thanks I am not sure that I am ready to go and get another one of these little things just yet. Thank you for all your tips, I think that I will go with the peanut butter thing. I have alleady looked into some books. I am pretty sure that mine is a adult. But I will work with him anyway...

Hello everyone! My daughter begged and begged for a ferret for her birthday and being the softhearted sucker that I am I went and got her one. We got it a nice big cage, a huge cage as a matter of fact and toys and the whole nine yards and she loves it. I have to admit that I kind of like...

I can only tell you what I would do based on my personal with Tarantulas and road trips. I would pack her into a deli cup (the same you would for overnight shipping and keep her enclosure in the cab so that when you stop at a hotel you could take her with you and unpack her, and then repack...

I would say curly hairs. Ugly spider in my opinion. Charlie

Becuase at the present I do not have enough money to dedicate an entire room to my Tarantulas, I voted 2 or 3 but even if I had the room I dont think I would ever want to own more than 10 or 15. Charlie

I would also say to go with the rosie. The A. Seemani that I had was a complete spaz, acted more like a Dodoma than what I heard Zebra's where supposed to act. Roseas are easier to care for as well. -Charlie

At the present I only have two T's that are kept pretty dry so I clean the cages about once every couple of weeks or so. -Charlie

Noise I have always wondered if tarantulas adapted to different noise levels. What I mean is that at the pet store with alll those people tapping or banging on the glass trying to get the T to move do they just get used to it? Are they able to eventually differentiate between some Moron...

Bite Report Hello Maurício, If you go to the bite report on the arachnoboards and look through the posts starting from the begining there are some pretty good accounts of Poecilotheria bites and what the effects where. Not everyone will react the same to any particular venom, but its an...

Have not posted in a very long while so hello to all who remember me and nice to meet you to all who dont :) I am not afraid of spiders but I found out that I am afraid of scorpions. I tried to buy one once and the lady at the pet store was to afraid to get it out of the cage and so I offered...

I have not had any of my T's molt in what seems like forever! I wish that my A.Avicularia would molt! -Charlie

Thank you Frylock but I am afraid that I was not specific enough. I am looking for a clip of a T eating a rat or mouse. I saw it before, it was a T blondi I think. If you know where that one is I would greatly appreciate it. -Charlie

Hello again all, I remember a website that had all kinds of short movies of tarantulas mating, eating and doing whatever. I am looking for that site again, does anyone know where this site is? Could anyone possibly post a link? Thanks, -Charlie

Man! Man those are cool pics! I have got to get a decent camera! -Charlie
