    After months and months of pre molt Ornata finally pulls through!

    Finally! She must be a summer girl I guess haha. No more dull and drab, nice and bright now. So happy she can start to eat again! Pics whenever she decides to come out for a stroll. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Wondering if this will be one of her last since she is in the 8"+ range now!

    Normal for a P. Ornata?

    So here she is today, bad lighting so I hope you can see it alright and this is only an under shot. The Blue LED lighting I had brought out the yellow a little more than it actually is right now.

    Freak Encounters - Tarantula episode

    Please excuse any mistakes in this post writing from my phone. I saw this tonight also and thought it was ridiculous. They did drop 3 or 4 avics from the ceiling. After this they tried to use the whole "camel spider" scare tactic and had the "expert" tell the people camel spiders babies are...

    Normal for a P. Ornata?

    Arghhh she was just out but I couldn't get my camera in position to get her so I had to move her cage and she bolted. To answer your question about being lethargic, no not at all. I used to feed her a roach every 2 weeks, and sometimes a cricket in between roach feedings. She has not eaten in...

    Normal for a P. Ornata?

    Ill try to get some pictures of her, she can be pretty recluse though. Her abdomen isn't shriveled and she looks normal just dull as heck. I got her from TalkenLate08 ( i think that was his name ) so I am pretty positive it is a female.

    Funny bill collector/OBT story

    Wow a real life bill collector, mind me asking why in the world someone would choose a career path like that? Hearing people's sob stories and excuses all day/night and having to be a complete jerk to them? Is there major incentives or is the pay super good or something? I've had 2 things go...

    My little MM Rosea has been matured for only about 2 weeks now and last night when I went to look at him I opened the closet door, and he had a hammock web about 1/4" above the ground at the corner of the tank and he was under it, upside down working on the bottom of he web. Is this a sperm web...

    Rosea molted Mature Male but TINY

    So I have had this rosea since it was about 1/4-1/2 " that I got Oct. '08. It has molted a few times since then of course, and last week it molted again. I looked today and it looks like it has gotten his hooks, which are very small, he is maybe 3" toe-to-toe and no bulk to him. Is this a normal...

    Right After Molt Size Question.

    So I have noticed over the last few molts of some of my T's that right after the molt ( as in just popped out still stretching and for a little while after ) they seem to be so much larger then they actually end up being when they are all hardened. My little 3" Rosea just molted today and...

    White/Clearish tiny bugs in roach enclosure

    Well, usually there is a piece of bread / dog food in a dish for them. The only moisture they have is the water dish so other than that it is pretty dry. Kind of hard to explain since they're so little and movin' around so fast =) I think I am going to change the cartons and clean the tank and...

    White/Clearish tiny bugs in roach enclosure

    So today I was putting some food into my baby/medium size roach tank and noticed a bunch of tiny white/clear bugs crawling around on the egg cartons. Should I just get rid of these roaches now, or should I even worry about it?

Sine I only have about 6 winged roaches the tank doesn't get dirty much, especially since I have substrate in that one. My small roach tank on the other hand has about 50-75 smaller...
