    Yeah! Tomorrow! I feel a bit dragged out from some traveling, but I sure hope to make it! I have a surprise creature that I picked up in Nevada. I hope to be able to share it. :)

    TWS Shed - Start to Finish (Photos)

    Do you think it's possible that it was stuck to the abdominal exuvia until it could get a grip with it's legs and push away from it?

    Florida or BUST!

    Wow! What are you planning to do with those beauties? Will any be available? (The bishopi) And... are those packing peanuts on the ground in one of those pics?

    We got a baby from Ken the Bug Guy. Have you checked the dealers yet here on AB?

    Paraplegic Man walks again after recluse bite.

    Read the article and like JdeRosa, I think the bite had nothing to do with the lucky fellow being able to walk again. Rather, the treatment for the bite led to the discovery that he had enough nerve repair to walk again. The headline is sensationalistic, IMO. Typical, but it gets readers, I...

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    Oh, thanks for the heads up! I rather think she'll stick by the sac, but I'll take care of the possibility of spiderlings getting out later. Thanks! I let Nathalie take it, as we deal with widows a lot here, so I didn't feel unsafe for her or any of us. (Used up tons of ours in previous...

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    I loved the meeting yesterday! I felt like a kid in a candy store! I usually feel a bit of a loss when a T male matures and I have to send him out, but this time was different. Thank goodness that I did have all those MMs just go out, as it made that much more room for all the new Ts! And...

    Lethocerus americanus

    What are you feeding them? I've got one in a "pond" set-up. (Got it this last week as a sort of gift from a friend.) Will they eat any bug caught and thrown in?

    Avocado - toxic?

    Toxicity to Animals from Wikipedia: "There is documented evidence that animals such as cats, dogs, cattle, goats, rabbits, birds, fish and particularly, horses[15][16] can be severely harmed or even killed when they consume the avocado leaves, bark, skin, or pit. The avocado fruit is...

    Heating pad made for people

    I've been using one to heat my T house for years (5 or more, I think) and it is just fine and on all of the time. However, it is in its own bottom level with a plexiglas plate above it. The plate has holes to let the heat pass, but nothing is in contact with the pad from above. It only...

    good or bad eye sight?

    I think that one of the ATS officers, Robert Gale Breene III, was an arachnologist. Could well be that other directing members there are arachnologists, or experts otherwise, too. Likewise, you could look into the BTS members. ATS: atshq.org. I would love to hear if there is a...

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    Uh, I live so close, but my life takes me so faaaaaaaaaar away! Last time: kids and flu (but that's what left me online, down, and able to give directions to PhormictopusMan, you're welcome, of course!). So, April 12 is the day of the Bio GRE exam that I just registered for... If I know it all...

    Species Lasiodora parahybana

    Is she/he fairly young? I would guess so from the pics, but I can't be sure. Goodness, but she scratched off a lot of her hairs before molting! Temperamental?

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    I'll go find them. Hang on. OK, you got the PM, I hope. (Oh, yeah. This could be fun. Watch everyone else go. Spend some long-needed quality time on AB, instead of just popping in and out...)

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    Vivian is too sick this morning. She's sicker instead of better. And she did make some comments about feeling like throwing up yesterday. :( It's a no-go for me, since the one sitter for sick kids, my husband, is at this moment packing for a flight/business trip. I shared some of my...

    SF Bay Area Tarantula Society Meeting

    Argh! I'll be bringing myself and my two girls IF the one child is well enough I suppose! Every single meeting, some commitment has been in the way. This was the first meeting with no such problem. And what happens Thursday? Vivian gets sick enough at school (tired, glassy-eyed) for...
