    My new 10" P. Ornata Enclosure Video Tutorial:

    One question - I have 4 pokie regalis... Will the same type enclosure work, or do regalis prefer flat environments? My wife is totally digging how beautiful the environment is.

    Green Bottle Blue sling

    Yeah, I mist as well. Not directly on the GBB or anything like that, hate to stress the poor bugger. But I do spray one side so the substrate absorbs moisture slowly without the GBB noticing.

    Going away for 1 week - Will slings be ok without food?

    I do have 2 avic avics, but they are about 3". I guess I could rig a humidifier on a timer. Like 4 hours a day or something. Any other common methods to keep a container moist in florida, while your gone?

    Going away for 1 week - Will slings be ok without food?

    I have some tiny slings, like 3rd instars, 1.5", 1/4 - 1/3 ". etc... I usually feed pinheads, about 2 every other day. Will they be ok one week without food? I know adults will be fine, no questioning that. Just want to make sure the little guys do ok.

    Chilean Rose (new T owner) rolled a big ball of silk...

    Well judge my phobia as you may, but if I told any number of reactions I have had when dealing with spiders, you wouldnt question it. I just got over my nightmares a few weeks ago, so I am certainly better with them now. Before I got the Chilean Rose, I would strip the bed every night 3x a...

    reason for uricating hairs ?

    OW t's would naturally have stronger venom since they lack the defensive hairs. I am sure there are excpetions, but that is the general rule.

    Chilean Rose (new T owner) rolled a big ball of silk...

    Unfortunately.... The sac appeared to flatten slightly after the 20th day, and then mold followed shortly after. I had to remove it a few days back. Anyhow, I have a male Chilean Rose as well, so I may try to breed her, I dont really know yet. I have definitely overcome my fears since I...

    Great video about affect of drugs on Wood Spiders...

    Well actually, the whole premise is real. One of my text books had each drug listed with the photo of the web next to each name. After seeing those photos, I wondered how they actually got the drugs into the spiders. So I am kinda hoping the swab part was real.

    High end suggestions?

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :drool: Never saw that one before. Too bad I am not good enought to keep one yet tho, I am only 1.5 months into this hobby. Quite frankly, I am ready to drop some major dough on a bunch of high ends, but there isnt really many to be bought. I see the usual...

    High end suggestions?

    High end as in exotic, meaning rarely seen in captivity and others that simply astonish me through behavior and/or looks. Obviously, the colors and looks would attract my attention first, but I also see the same species sold everywhere, so I would most certainly be interested in hard to...

    High end suggestions?

    :wall: :wall: :wall: In my eagerness, I somehow completely skipped that. I was using google images after I came across any possible specie name, and well that is rather time consuming and tedious. But I still wouldve kept doing that if neccessary. That above link is exactly what I need...

    High end suggestions?

    Fill me in brother, I am wanting to know what I should be looking for. The Xenethis look amazing, but that came as a complete surprise to me as I stumbled across it by chance here. Let me ask you this, is there a repository or database of species with photos available on line? That would...

    H. Lividum

    Just got my Lividum the other week man. Pet holes no doubt, but when they do come out, it feels ohh so special. Colors are out of this world as well. Hope you enjoy yours. Mine seemed pretty laid back during the initial rehouse. She never once threw a threat display.

    Quick question on a GBB sling...

    A quick thank you to everyone who responded. After the sling went into the dryer substrate, with the leaves, it immediately webbed over a spot for itself. Now I feel like the GBB is in ideal conditions like the others, and you can tell in its behavior. I owe the community here a lot, hope...

    Really big problem, need help!

    I got slings like 1 to 1.5 weeks before this outbreak of his. All seem to be healthy and doing fine. Maybe a fertile but genetically incompatible match resulting in high percentages of defects? Could be, I dont know.
