    Review by 'Goliath' on item 'UrbanTarantulas'

    Aram did a great job with this order. I order a couple juvenile T's, and two adult female M. balfouri. The communication was excellent. I requested photos and Aram did a video chat with myself to show me the animals I would be getting. He definitely went above and beyond on this order. The...

    Review by 'Goliath' on item 'NukaMedia Exotics - (formerly Mvtt70)'

    I purchased a couple slings and a juvenile female M. balfouri. Communication on the transaction was very good. I requested a photo of the female balfouri and it was provided in a timely manner. Shipping was very good and the animals were packed with extreme care. I would purchase from them...

    Thank you. The lighting is 4 17W jungle dawn LED bulbs and a led strip for night viewing.

    Heterophrynus batesii

    Thanks. They do have been very efficient at finding the food in the tank. They have molted numerous times since the introduction to the tank. The choice of prey is chosen carefully though with the introduction of isopods, large crickets and non burrowing roaches. Burrowing prey would be...

    I figured I would add some new tank shots since it has grown in. Thanks, Mike

    Heterophrynus batesii

    I keep them much more humid than Damon species. They are not as skittish as Damon with large prey, they like the prey big. They do not hug the surface like Damon species, they prop themselves above it so you need more vertical space than with Damon. They also do not hide in crevices like...

    Heterophrynus batesii

    They are fairly easy. They are good eaters that like big prey. They grow fairly quick and are communal.

    Heterophrynus batesii

    Thanks again. They are not that difficult to make. They can be time consuming but that is about it. I will be putting together a full article that describes the full process. The LEDs are just your typical led strip, nothing special.

    Heterophrynus batesii

    Thank you very much. I am not a dart frog owner. A couple of my friends are. I have doing tanks like this for years and have found tremendous success with breeding inverts in them. Plus they are fun to build and look very nice. The misting system is an exoterra monsoon Rs400 system. The...

    Heterophrynus batesii

    Thank you very much. The enclosure is larger than it needs to be for them. This tank is 36"x18"x36". You can easily get away with a 10-20 gallon tank for them. ---------- Post added 12-12-2014 at 08:56 PM ---------- Thank you. They are very remarkable. I have two females with eggs at...

    Here are a couple shots of my adult batesii and the new vivarium that they will be going into in about a month. The full tank construction will be detailed in an article in invertebrate magazine. Thanks, Mike

    If a female tarantulas is mated.....

    To add to Moltar. This is true for most but not all species of tarantulas. There are species of tarantulas that will store sperm and not shed the sperm when they molt. E. olivacea is an example. Thanks, mike

    C. schioedtei?

    Here is mine when she was smaller. Her last molt measured 8" along the diagonal. mike

    C. schioedtei?

    I would consider these somewhat scarce in the US hobby but not rare. In my experience they are not that difficult to breed at all. They can be shy as babies but I do have to say they are very bold when it comes to feeding. They will tackle prey much larger than themselves no problem. As...

    Thanks Tom. The parrots and cockatoos were amazing. They are loud. I woke up to them almost every morning. The water dragons were wild, and they were everywhere. I did not see any tarantulas though. I saw some red back webs but no redbacks. I also saw some funnel web webs in the crotches...
