Hey guys, This is my first time posting on the Insect board. I'm normally just arachnids, but I have a question some of the more knowledgeable on here may know. I recentely took a trip to Tampa, FL and my brother and I went collecting one of the days we were down there. We found some...

Hey guys, I've been on here for awhile, I don't remember if I posted some pictures on the old thread, but if so, I have a few newer ones. Have at em'. ~Lars

Same here. Many of my Brachypelmas do this, and like MizM, once I introduced some furniture they usually take to that. Hanging on the side of the enclosure probably isn't harmful to them, but its just the feeling that their not suppose to do that. I know, it gets too you. Oddly enough, my B...

I have to breed rats to keep my snake collection fed, and I had it happen a few times with them. Actually, come to think of it, its happened in my mice cages as well. I was sort of creeped out about the whole ordeal, so I took it to a friend of mine who deals with small animals and is very...

The upside down lid works well. I usually have to refill it about every three days or so, assuming the tarantula doesn't fill it with substrate or web over it. It's no big deal though because I'm sure with most people out there, you spend pretty much all your free time in your invert room...

The upside down jar lid works really well as a water dish as long as your committed to regularly filling it. It's a good way to go because you can pick them up from many container retailers for like $10 for a bag of 50. ~Lars P.S. Thanks Scott! Howeva been dude? The male G. pulchra is...

I'll be honest, I bought my female C. huahini on a whim at a show over 8 months ago. Over time, I really started questioning the purchase as it was becoming more clear it was just a big, brown spider that didn't do a whole lot of anything. Also, as time went on, I noticed on the bottom of her...

This is my first real project I've begun. I was lucky enough to have not one but two male H. lividums mature in my collection and one huge female. I was fortunate enough at the last show I attended to pick up two enourmous WC females, one of which already apprears gravid. 1/27/05 - Both my...

She's about 8.5" at the moment, I think theres another molt or two left in her before she's fullsize. Actually, she's coming up on one and and stopped eating for the last few weeks. When her appetite was in full swing, after she had a hopper, her carapace was enourmous. ~Lars

Hey, I just picked up a new Nikon D70 and was anxious to take some pictures so of course, my T's 'voulenteered' to be the subjects for the new camera. I took a few others, but I really liked the Blondi pictures because she poses for me. Enjoy. ~Lars

Well, I have a King Baboon the same size as your sling, and one about 3 inches or so. The sling has the exact same feeding habits as yours. Like Raindog mentioned, she may be nearing a molt, in which case you definately want to make sure the crickets are out of there within 24 hours. C...

Calling the Scorp-experts, I'm not as firmiliar with scorpions as I am with tarantulas so ID'ing this one was been a little more difficult than I thought. The guy I got it from tells me its from the US. By the looks of it, its not venomous guessing from the pinchers. My hunch is Smeringurus...

Just an update, The T. blondi is still doing great, fully hydrated, not much of an appetite but I think thats due to an upcoming molt. A few of you asked for pictures. I didn't think to take any when it was curled on its way out, but tonight I got a few of it during its recovery. Hey, with...

I have a sling, and a WC subadult, My sub adult seems like it has a real easy going temper and P. Cancerides is one of my favorite species. I'm actually going to be picking up 3 - 5 more in a week. Normally, I have enough of a respect for hot, or tempermental species to not try and handle...

I work at PETCO, And rest assured any T purchased at store #1759 is given not only sufficient care, but are all the privelaged recipients of the bulk of my attention (I can't help it, I'm slightly partial). I got lucky at PETCO, when I was hired, they needed to fill the Reptile Specialist...

Check this out, A guy came into work and we got talking about T's (I work at PETCO). He was telling me that his Blondi was on its way out. I gave him some suggestions on what to do to try and save it and he said he couldn't do any of them to because he was affraid to open the cage. He told me...

Man, Just catching up on some old threads. Sounds like an interesting species. Assuming I ever come across one, whats the usual pricetag? High I'm guessing if their that rare. ~Lars

Yeah, Their awesome T's. I'm drawn to this species more than almost any other for some reason. I like aggressive T's as showcase animals, and from everyone I've heard, this is one of the worst. I have a sling and a subadult C. Crawshayi I picked up at the last show I was at. I'm going to...

Well, I posted these a while ago, but their already on the server so I'll just tack them up for the sake of keeping the thread alive until I can get home and take some more. This is my blondi doing in a pinkie. Enjoy. ~Lars

Hey, I need some help. I'm not really into scorpions. I have about 7 or 8, but bought them on a whim. The guy I get a lot of my T's from called me to let me know tomorrow he's getting in a Hawaiian species in. He told me their extremely rare and if I pass them up I'll likely never see them in...
