    My New Caledonia geckos

    Thanks! It depends on each individual but I here Nuu Ana leachie tend to be more docile. My female Pine Island has been chill since she was smaller and I barely take her out. When I do, she won’t try to bite. My 3 year old daughter holds her.

    User Lasiodora’s Spiders

    I’ve always been partial to arboreal tarantulas. So no surprise that my first tarantulas in over ten years would be avics. These are from Guyana. That’s pretty much all I know. Most like likely avic avic. Anyway, I hope to slowly add more of my pics to this thread. For now here are two pics of...

    Thoughts on Bioactive Enclosure for Tarantulas?

    I agree that it’s not practical for a big collection and yes, none of these things are required to keep healthy tarantulas. I love keeping plants, in addition to keeping t’s so for me it’s cool to combine the two. In the past I did set up some natural vivs for a couple of my t’s. They weren’t...

    Thoughts on Bioactive Enclosure for Tarantulas?

    You can skip the drainage layer. Those are used to keep plant roots from becoming too wet in overly saturated soil. That's only a concern if you're using a misting system with frequent misting. The plants depend on how strong your lighting is and humidity requirements. I like to use medium...

    Introduce Yourself

    Hello Everyone, I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I think I signed up here in 2002. I had a pretty big and varied tarantula collection around that time. I sold everything in 2006 to focus on breeding snakes. I never lost interest in tarantulas but life made it difficult for me to jump back into...

    Live animals being used as food in zoo's?

    Zoos do not feed live to mammalian predators (fish is the exception). Enrichment entails hiding food throughout exhibits, constructing "toys" to stimulate the animal's mind, encasing food in blocks of ice, placing different scents throughout the exhibit, and other things that do not require...

    Got snakes?

    King cobras (Ophiophagus hannah) are. Ophiophagus literally means snake eater. It was given this name because it includes snakes in its diet. They prey on everything from rat snakes to cobras (including other king cobras) and kraits. They will also feed on other reptiles and occationally...

    Got snakes?

    I would not count on color alone to identify these species. Morelia viridis colors can range from solid yellow, blue, green and yellow, and even specimens with plenty of black or white scales. These colors are found in wild M.viridis and have been some colors have been bred for through...

    Photo Editing, about RAW format.

    I'm sorry Raqua, I don't know what you mean by lossy format. I did not say jpeg gets better when you convert it to tiff. Please take your time reading someone's post before you call it nonsense! I said it is a better archival format. This is one hundred percent true. Tiff slows down your...
