our curly hair used to turn over her water dish (it was a lightweight lid to a milk jug) and roll it around for hours. it was fun to watch but I always wondered what she was thinking.

I have a juvenile N chromatus that seems to want to nail me every time I come near it's tank, but I think its just nervous, not mean.....hope so anyway.

I would suggest that you always offer a hide. One of my vagans would always burrow extensively so once when I needed to rehouse it I didn't put a hide in, thinking it would burrow as usual, and it for whatever reason it did not burrow at all in the new tank. I didn't understand that but in any...

this is a great thread. I have looked for alternatives, and someone mentioned organic potting soil. I've seen it, but it contained manure and I thought that (even broken down) it might be harsh on the t. also is "black earth" a brand or is it a type of material? I am all for avoiding peat when...

I was keeping him in a deli cup, about 8 oz size, and also feeding him pinheads. I was just afraid he was not happy because he was up off the substrate, but he might have been looking for a place he felt secure, like the space up at the top near the edge, or maybe he was ambushing his prey! they...

ok, thanks for that, I might give it another try.

how are you keeping him? the only wc spider I have tried to keep was a jumping spider, but it was so active and was always up off the substrate (I think I used some peat) all the time I thought he was not very happy and I let him go after a day or two.

cat, check out the third pic :)

That is very good information. In our quest to to help wayward ts we certainly could come in contact with one of these very dangerous spiders!!

great advice from Becca. I also have asthma and have not had any problems to date from my ts, although it is certainly a possibility that it could happen and I am really careful where kids are concerned, especially because I worry about the hairs ending up in someone's eyes. I am having problems...

I second Windchaser's comments. but I have all NW terrestrials. I wonder if arboreals would need warmer temps?

that would be a shame but you are probably right.

I'm so glad I saw this thread!! Last June I adopted a shelter dog who was listed as a pit bull mix. I visited her several times before adopting her and I really liked her personality. one day at the park where my son had tennis lessons, another parent told me my dog looked just like a Catahoula...

me too! and that type is on my wish list. we have an A. species carlsbad green and an A hentzi. I think they are great. they are slow-growing, though. how old is the t in the pics?

oooooh!! (you made me do research!)

a shallow tank like that would come in really handy! we have two hermit crabs that we have had for about a year and have kept them on calci-sand only. yesterday we changed their substrate using your instructions and they are more active than I've ever seen them, with lots of burrowing. plus...

Goblin Queen, that is a nice tank. did you build it yourself?

but thank you for helping keep us up to date Mr. Bagaturov! :)

that's good info Garrick, and very helpful! you are right, it is confusing. I have been wanting an Avic for the longest time but I'm just been too nervous about keeping the conditions right. I really want to give it a shot though. good luck Sublimeskunk if you do decide to get an Avic! let...

I have a question regarding that last method....I have always read that we are supposed to "sterilize" our peat before use, is this not really necessary? I have always microwaved mine.
