I know, and I am usually fine with it, but Velvet ending up as a he was an unpleasant surprise....:(

One of my two Phormictopes canceroides, Muffin, hooked out recently. He is the prettiest blackish brown with purple tinting. He is super handle-able, and active, which is weird, since Phormictopes canceroides are supposed to be horrible and grumpy apparently. My other one is also handle-able. I...

Thanks guys. I'll let you know. :)

I believe it might be freeze dried by the person. That's not really what I need to know, though. I need to know if it thaws when shipped, will the body be ruined in means of doing anything with it?

Today I went to a pet store I go to sometimes before work. They had a mid-size rosie die in shipping so they froze it. My friend, who does a lot of taxidermy and knows many others who do taxidermy, asked for the frozen T because a friend she knows wants one to mount or preserve somehow. She...

Outback supplies all of the stores in my area. I own many Outback critters for better or for worse. They seem hit and miss. I HAVE had bad experiences, and they do seem sketch at times. I was sold an A. avic with nematodes and had a minor outbreak in my collection. That made me really POed. I...

It is annoying when people ask me if my guys are "de-fanged". Fine, honest case of not knowing. What I hate, is when they ask that, I tell them no and why they can't be de-fanged, and matter-of-factly they retort with, "Well my tarantulas I used to have in college were de-fanged!" or some...

Looks like a Swift's shipment! I can't go to that site, I want to buy EVERYTHING and never have the money. It's like being a kid in a Candy Express. :wall: But when I dooooo get money... ;) Congrats on your T's! All of my Swift babies are going strong still, except for the one who escaped...

I split a 10 gallon into three parts, and it works wonderfully. DO NOT use fish dividers however! I got glass cut and used silicon (fish tank sealant). I put a lot of work into making it cannibal-proof and strong. You could take the tank, and divide it with glass how you want and make a...

Avics are usually pretty tolerant of eachother. I had really good luck with mine (three together) untill one was introduced unknowingly with NEMATODES. Yeah, that turned out badly. But had nematodes not happened I am confident they would have remained tolerant of eachother.

I have one also. Kelly Swift had some for awhile -- maybe he still does!

OMG. My B. sabulosum escaped. Apparently it can push it's container open. I am kind of upset. I've had snakes get loose that I have never found, but I realize a T probably won't leave the room or even the area. But there are so many places to hide in the T room that I don't even know if...

Their room might be the only room in the house that isn't smelly. My mom is just old and batty sometimes. I might try the neutralization trick around the house though! I think that might help!

Well the room room doesn't really smell. When is does it's never the fault of my T's, but rather the reptiles and amphibians making a stink. I clean it all up promptly though. There is the problem. My mom has these dogs, and they pee EVERYWHERE, except in my room and my reptile/invert...

I burn all of these things in my bedroom and they don't kill the unwanted spiders who are squatting in my room. >_< It would be my luck that these things would kill my T's though. Arg. :(

1. PLEASE don't tell me to just use the search function. I do and I have and I couldn't find a thing that was really helpful. I never post on here these days because that is the standard reply for anything I post. :wall: I remember a post similar to mine but I couldn't find it anywhere. 2...

The difference is, if you sell your tarantulas, as long as they go to a good home (which would be plentiful on this forum!) they're going to live on just like they always have as they are not emotionally complex like many mammals are. When I see it with companion animals, cats, ferrets...

You're not thinking "way to into the future", you're thinking intelligently. I see people on Craigslist all the time that say something like this, "Well we have this dog who has been a beloved pet and companion for years. But now we want a baby. So bye-bye dog. Come give me money and you can...

It's both for me, a hobby of pets! They're pets that you can interact with and take care of, but you can also collect them. Tarantulas have such few cleaning/feeding/attention needs you can have a lot and not be in over your head.

:o What a pretty spider! :worship:
