    Found these Argiopes with egg sacks near

    This person told me the only way to safely "keep" them was to build a frame around their web. This is done with a wooden frame, mesh where glass should be. That way you can watch 'em all summer w/o worrying about a wasp getting them. Other than that, they're pretty much hands off. This...

    Found these Argiopes with egg sacks near

    I asked that question last year and was told by someone whom I trust totally with his wildlife knowledge and he said they don't live long in captivity.

    Found these Argiopes with egg sacks near

    :clap: Thanks for posting this. I had an argriope disappear almost a month ago but those were all around. I thought they might be sacs but wasn't sure 'til now.

    :D I DID mention that, twice.

    Is this A. avicularia?

    TY TY TY That's what I THOUGHT it was. I have two A. avicularia, and this one doesn't look like them at all. She's already quarantined, but thanks for the advice. She does look rather fat. I commented on that at the shop because she's awfully "fat" for an arboreal. They said she was fat...

    Is this A. avicularia?

    Well, I did it. I said I wouldn't, but I did. *sigh* I was in a pet store, saw a poor spidey in need and brought it home. They had it labeled as pink toe. Brightly lit cube type housing, wood chips and about 30 crickets running around on the substrate. This poor thing of course was in the...

    Can anyone get through to this idiot?!?!?!

    Very good points. I'm no expert on whether or not to feed mice, but I'd say only feeding your spider once a year, no matter what the prey, is ridiculous. Hopefully his exposure will bring about a change. One can hope, right??

    Scorpion People - I have to ask... :)

    Oh yes, they definitely get to run and play. They have free reign IF I'm at home and they're not in heat. I have 20 acres in the middle of nowhere. When they're in heat, they don't get to come out. I'm afraid it's the best I can do at this point, as there's been NO help from any of the so-called...

    Scorpion People - I have to ask... :)

    Yes, I definitely go without. I don't care about myself though. All I need is the love they give me to know that I can't do anything else. I wouldn't know what to do with any money I'd save by NOT helping the animals. They're my life. I'm not a rescue exactly. Most of the dogs were dumped off...

    Scorpion People - I have to ask... :)

    I only keep Emperor scorpions (Pandinus imperator), but I can give you an easy answer to the question. I ordered 2 Stripeknee tarantulas, I got 2 totally different spiders. One is actually what I ordered, an A. seemani, the other is in the middle of turmoil over it's scientific name. Bottom...

    Vid of Rattler . . .

    I agree with the post it with a warning idea. Word it correctly and nobody will be able to "whine" about your posting. I personally don't agree with feeding live prey, but that's MY opinion. If I saw a warning, I'd simply not watch and have no need to comment negatively. :) You're still going to...

    Roach preference

    :? Hmmm. My H. lividum ate some lobsters when I first got her a little over a month ago. She was quite dehydrated from producing a sac. This week, she abandoned her burrow and I investigated to find the 2 dubia I had given her almost a week ago were in there. I had thought they'd been eaten. Not...

    Would you waste a good T like this?

    I disagree. I wouldn't laugh at another creature's demise of any sort. The problem with most people isn't whether or not a T died, but the WAY it died and the ENJOYMENT of it. (At least I think that's what I'm getting here). I can't speak for the others, but that's my understanding of it. Of...

    A couple roach questions

    Thank you sooooooooooo much. That is a perfect picture. :clap: Now I gotta get some gloves lol. In order to get the picture with the tape measure I got my hand sliced up. Those things aren't helpless for sure. I think my skin is just more sensitive, a dubia had me bleeding the other day also. :8o

    A couple roach questions

    Hi, I impulsively bought some roaches at an exotic expo recently. (I know, I know. :shame: ) They were sold to me as "death head" roaches. Wellllllllll, I've been to a lot of internet sites researching roaches and that's not what they are. The best I can tell, these are "Giant Cave...
