Update: DO NOT feed tomatoes. If they eat tomatoes they will die.

Thanks everybody! I hope that this can be a great contribution to the hobby. Hmm good observation. I will find out the exact species of isopod(s) in the setup and update the original post with the information.

A while ago (as some of you know) I stated that I met somebody who prolifically breeds A. gigas. Fortunately I was able to make a return to the place (and land a job in the process). Here at Oklahoma State University A. gigas are bred quite readily, and I was able to sit down with the head of...

Well it's easy for us sitting behind our computers to condemn somebody trying to eke out a living in a third world country by killing and selling tarantulas. I know if I was in that situation I would pick my family over tarantulas.

Very nice setup! Most normal people wouldn't realize you can house hundreds of spiders in only a room like that. Looks very neat!

I used to go outside and use an apparatus like that to suck up insects around my porch lights to feed my animals. That was back when I fed my animals nearly 100% wild caught food. No I never had any problems but people seem to have heart attacks when they hear I dared to give my animals food...

Sundews are one of the aforementioned "semi-aquatic" CPs.

The problem is that carnivorous plants eat a very small amount. Many of them do not require live prey to survive. It is only a backup means to supply nutrients. I'm sure a T would more likely trample the plant. Plus CPs require pretty specific environments, almost semi-aquatic for many of...

Wow very nice looking! Chunky too!

Nice avatar PhobioN, huge 40K player here. :biggrin:

Looks like an apophysis to me.

Looks male.

Pretty sure it's a male

Years ago I had a subspinipes do pretty much the same thing. It escaped and went down the hall, down the stairs, and across the house and my dog alerted me to it by barking at it while it was climbing the wall.

I just lay a piece of cork board (for bulletin boards) against the wall and they web up about half way up. In the wild they aren't arboreal but in captivity they seem to be at least semi-arboreal. I have found they prefer to stay off the ground if they have the option.

Yep being able to get out helps a great deal. Unfortunately in those situations nobody gets out anyway, I understand you sarcasm there... It's going to take a lot of snow to keep that vehicle in! It's quite a culture shock for me living in OK to have a 2" storm and literally everything is...

Awesome! I love my galapagoensis. They are definitely a lot different than other pedes. They seem more "intelligent" than others. My favorite is watching their antennae twitch around as they track down food.

Same here, I've had my house sprayed multiple times and I just have them stay out of my animal room.

Just keep rubbing it in. ;)

Learning to drive in snow is a valuable tool! I'm a CT native and have lived in a few other states and nobody else seems to know how to handle snow! 2 years ago in WA there was a "bad" storm (like 5") there by their standards and I was nearly the only one on the road for a whole week. Tire...
