Reddish Pill Bugs As a kid I kept Roly Polys and sowbugs as short term pets on the west coast. Well, I recently got a nano terrarium and I knew it was too small for many reptiles/inverts. So I planted it with local mosses and plants and placed it on my desk at work. A few days later I was...

Yeah man, whats the deal on the Tucson show? Wanna go? We could just road cruise down to the Border instead By the way. I have had a couple offers on the heros. It is an eating machine...6 mealworms a day so far..

Tried living in TX before. It pretty much sucked. Even the a-holes are bigger in TX. No offense. P.S. I am just remembering that most of the aforementioned bigger ones were mostly New York/Jersey people who moved to TX...So maybe I just was unlucky in that I never met any actual Texans.

That is what I thought too.

I found these guys under some debris in the Tombstone, AZ area. Thanks in advance for any help!

Here is the pics I promised. I took them the next day in the five gallon bucket. The base diameter of the bucket is 10" for scale.

No...still need to do that Josh. Keep forgetting. :)

Went Saturday afternoon roadcruising in the Santa Rita mountains hoping to see a critter or two. Followed a dirt road through a canyon and caught a large Scolopendra heros arizonensis (sp?) I belive it is somewhere in the 7-8" range, but haven't had a chance to corral it long enough to measure...

You could also try vaseline around the outside rim of the enclosure.

I think the fact that I provided lots of hiding spots prevented cannibilism. And I kept the sand damp, but not wet. Another thing, they like cool and damp, so no additional heat is necessary.

Quiet Crickets! As noted by others, I too became annoyed with the sound of adult crickets chirping. In fact I would literally hunt down the native ones in my house at night just to shut them up. I did alot of work outside, and I kept noticing when I moved large items there were often dozens...

I shot it at dusk...I stayed parked until the wasp dragged its prey across the road to make sure it made it. The tarantula was already paralyzed by the time I happened upon the duo, so I assume the wasp was on its way to bury the hapless tarantula so the eggs it laid inside could develop into...

Found this interesting duo crossing the street as I road cruised Queen Valley for herps, at first I thought it was just a tarantula...imagine my surprise! It was near dusk. Four pics I took below...

Not much for descriptions, just some pics I shot of stuff I found in Comfort, TX!

Wow! They sure put on a show to make up for their size! I am extremely interested in this species, I have some sort of weird thing for extremes of size - If its alot bigger, or alot smaller than average I find it even more interesting...for example: Key Deer.

Thats one impressive tarantula! Looks alot like the canyon habitat I visited a couple years ago.

Its East of Phoenix, Arizona. It is part of Tonto National Forest, and is a popular hiking trail right off of Hwy 60.

So this is me during the short time I lived in the keys. And one of me from when I was actually allowed into the renaissance faire! (Now i run the parking lot-woohoo!)

Introductions... Hi, I am Christian Reynolds. I have been coming to AZ to work the Renaissance Faire for the past 3 years, mainly so I can go hiking and flip reptiles and inverts! I am an avid fieldherper, and used to be quite the bug guy as a child - So much in fact that my family STILL...

I almost forgot Earlier in the day flipping a piece of trash I found this happening:
