Outstanding. Do you pre kill your pinkies, or do you feed them live. Also, if you had a very large species, are larger prey items ok? Must these be prekilled also? I have heard of people actually feeding birds. Is there any need to do this? Kind of a new guy and just looking for answers.

Bloody well ingenious guys. I like it, I like it a lot. Maybe I'll get some of my friends who buy blank cd's to start keeping the taller ones for me.

Kevo is right. I tried the cardbopard thing with my H. albostriatum awhile back and it worked like a charm.

Well I'm interested in Avicularia, and still somewhat of a newbie. So if anyone has anymore definitive info concerning the sensitivity of these T's please let me know.

This ones on my list. Along with most of genus Avicularia. Oooohhh I can't wait. I keep trying to save up for spiders and I keep finding other things that I need to buy instead. Like a stand for my aquarium.

Got home from work yesterday and I did the routine spider check first thing. I found that my A. avicularia had molted, and I mean it had just molted. I was so cranked. It really made what had been a rather mediocre day an amazing one. Am I some kinda freak for getting this excited over a...

ok guys these things are just gorgeous. I have decided to stick to genus Avicularia for now and I already have an A.avicularia sling. Thought about making my next one a metallica or versicolor, mbut these are great. Oh I just don't know. Suggestions?

Diane and her bloody feeding dishes. Nothing wrong with it , I just find it a little funny. Great pics.

outstanding pics. Never seen one of those before. Is that in genus haplopelma or what? Is it an obligate burrower? Newbie sorry.

I have an A.avicularia sling that I seem to like just fine, but I can't get the little bugger to eat much. I also have a P.murinus(mobasa, usambra, starbust baboon) that is about 3-4". This one is skittish, fast, defensive, and hides constantly. It is pretty enough to look at, but it has to...

Yeah I agree, that first picture looks pretty bloody ballsy(sp?)

Yeah I stopped using wood products. The best thing that you can do is run down to your nearest garden center and buy one of those giant bails of sphagnum peat moss for like 5 bucks. This will be much better.

O.K. everyone, just exactly is an OBT anyway. I'm fairly knew to the hobby and I am just on a knowledge search.

That sucks. Sorry to hear of your T's plight. I would try the soup thing if it were me. Doesn't sound like anything else is gonna work. And yes, I have seen some of my Spiders eat prekilled food. I believe that I read somewhere that T's are also scavengers.

P. murinus. I can tell you for a fact that my P.murinus seems to be the oly one that I own that has demonstrated any knid of light sensitivity. She hates it.

Projectile FECES? Are you friggin kidding me? Please explain.

Thats a lot of food I'm no expert, not yet anyway. But that sounds a little excessive. Unless of course you just received the spider in the mail in which case it may just be a little underfed. These are just my thoughts, you may wait for someone like code monkey to respnod to your questions.

Ahhh yes. Nice shot, nice spider, good lighting. What species are we looking at?

Yup. Well as I've said many times before, "I'm no expert". Hoewever, I have learned from extended correspondence with many who have much greater experience than I, that many, not all mind you, but most arboreal species seem to demonstrate less copulative aggression than many of the terrestrial...

Some suggestions. O.k. all. I'm no expert but maybe try washing your hands in ice cold H2O just before feeding time. Avoid respiratory exposure if possible, if you see them start to kick close the lid and walk away. Turn off the lights, we all know that T's don't like the light and if you...
