Heh. I have lived in Kansas my entire life and have yet to see a copperhead, rattler or tornado, for that matter. However, I have seen plenty box turtles. :)

Considering that armadillos are migrating more and more north, it is very possible that tarantulas are as well. (I was shocked at the number of armadillo carcasses I saw on my last trip down to Branson!)

Note: I bought the enclosure that my T was housed in while she was at the LPS - the guy there at the time knew what he was doing with Ts and I did not want to switch her environment because I was afraid of stressing her out. Since he was my buddy, he didn't have a problem just letting me buy...

Whoa. I am not supposed to be sticking my son in the refrigerator? Oops. My bad. :eek: :D

For my sling, I took an extra medicine dropper from my kid's Motrin. I give her a few drops of water about every other day. I put a bit on the substrate and a bit on the web itself in whatever opposite corner she is in.

*ignores the off-color humor which she did not understand anyway* :confused: At times, ignorance can be bliss. Truly. A few weeks back I was at an outlet mall and happened by a totally shady LPS. I had the kids, so it was an entertainment option while we waited for our friends to...

Codykrr, In my husband's defense, he grew up in India. A place where pokies are to be avoided and not necessarily purchased. Heh. :D

My husband was pretty pissed about the a. versicolor sling I brought home (my 2nd T). I claimed it was an impulse purchase and even cut the price I paid by a third. I will have to hold off on another purchase for awhile to let him cool down. Hey, some gals hide shoe purchases, I figured it...

Should clarify: the jar was not an "old spice jar" but rather an "old, spice jar". Meaning, it was an OLD jar that contained spice a long time ago and NOT some variant of what should feebly pass for men's cologne. Yo, commas ARE important.

Thank you everyone for the great ideas! I do have the sling and oh MY, she is GORGEOUS. A lovely, scrumptious, beautiful green. She is barely bigger than a quarter and seems happy in the square, glass old spice jar I dug up for her. Her vial contained an old molt, so this probably explains...

Tomorrow, I am getting my 2nd T -- a 1 inch a. versicolor sling. After doing several searches on this site, I have had trouble coming up with ideas for enclosures. I am aware of the normal 1.5 body length vs. enclosure height requirement - other than that, am looking for ideas. I have a...

In college, I was a customer service rep for 2 different businesses. Let me tell you -- firm, consistent, polite kindness gets you fair more than fighting about it. So yes, what Pitbulllady said. This thread makes me grateful for my pet store! We began going there to see the Ts because...

This link has a pic of a new arachnid found. Text on Image #11 on the slideshow found about halfway down reads: "Heteropoda dagmarae is one of at least 88 new species of spiders found while on expeditions into Lao PDR, Thailand and Yunnan Province, China." Here is a link to the entire...

Crickets are not in the enclosure all the time. I buy about 5 crickets at a time and she gobbles about 2 right away. Then the other 3 hang out for awhile. After the last guy is gone, I go back and get more crickets in about a week or so. According to the Tarantula Keeper's Guide regarding...

Thanks for the heads up - did not know supporting was an option. Have thrown my precious pennies towards this way - probably best 20 bucks I have spent this year.

Mushroom Spore, I wasn't clear - what I refer to as a "cricket bowl" is just a small soda cap that holds the cricket food. That's all.

After sifting around here, I was not able to find a link for supporting the site. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have an extra 20 bucks.

Dear Santa Baby, I would really appreciate it if you could transform my husband into an invertebrate enthusiast, too. Am not convinced that one, two, nor three tarantulas will ever be enough for me. The Husband? Does not understand. Weirdie Beardie, can you help an arachnophiliac gal out...

Thank you all - I was hesitant to post about my stupidity, but have only received reassuring comments. And that? Is why I keep coming to this forum. Anyway......DUDE - Lesson Learned. T on its back? Back away from the enclosure, miss. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Do not worry...

Nature Boy, Grow an ovary or two, then find yourself a cute boy.
