    Insect Galls?

    Those are goldenrod galls. They are caused by flies. I have some in my collection.

    Pics of giant wolf spider

    SamuraiSid: Thanks for your encouragement. :) Well, the discouraging thing is Ciphor said that he already did selective breeding for many years and generations of a different species of spider with no success. This is okay though because I can still breed and sell H. carolinensis no matter...

    Pics of giant wolf spider

    As you wonderful folks may or may not know, I am starting a wolf spider breeding project. I will be breeding, raising & selling GIANT wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis). I will be selectively breeding for size. Any spiders which are below the maximum size for the species will NOT be used for...

    Wolf spider id

    Fortunately, I recently got a positive ID on BugGuide. This species is Hogna antelucana. My spiders measure from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch body length. I am pretty sure they are not adults yet. Anyway, please click on the link and scroll down some so you can check out the discussion between a...

    Wolf spider id

    Hello, everyone. I captured 4 sub-adult wolf spiders inside my apartment located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. All 4 spiders are the same species since they basically look the same. At first I thought they were Hogna carolinensis, but the coloration and the markings aren't quite right (Although H...

    Largest communal desert scorpion

    Very true. Despite the breeding aspect, many scorpion keepers say they make awesome pets. I guess this is good as long as you don't try to breed them!

    Largest communal desert scorpion

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. :) It really stinks that Scorpio maurus doesn't live very long in captivity because I really like the look of this beautiful species! What do you mean that Hadrurus are difficult??? Many scorpion keepers say they make a great first scorpion for beginners.

    Largest communal desert scorpion

    Thanks for your feedback. :) Yeah, I've decided a while back that I will be getting a C. vittatus colony for one of my enclosures. However, I have another large enclosure that I want to put another scorpion colony into. So, I am looking for a fairly large species that I can keep communal and...

    Largest communal desert scorpion

    You are correct regarding humidity. However, the chances are greater in getting flies, mites and mold if enclosures are humid. I am speaking from personal experience because I had a problem with those pesky tiny flies in my enclosure which had humidity. At the same time, I had no problems in...

    Largest communal desert scorpion

    What is the LARGEST desert scorpion that I can keep communally??? Please let me know. Thanks! I prefer not to keep species which need high humidity because I want my enclosures to be as dry as possible to avoid problems with flies and mites. I am looking forward to your feedback, folks. :)

    My critter setup

    Grayzone, Thank you for your kind words! I am glad that you like my enclosure. :) Actually, the "plates" are terra cotta saucers that you place beneath those pots which plants are kept in. I am using these saucers as food dishes for my giant peppered roaches. The dish in the back will be...

    My critter setup

    Guess what? I recently finished setting up my largest enclosure with substrate, plants, pieces of cork bark, a deer antler, an opossum skull, a pine cone and food & water dishes. The enclosure looks awesome! I just ordered a stand for it. By the way, this enclosure will be for a colony of...

    My critter setup

    Hello, beaker41. Sorry for the late reply. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your informative photos with me. :) When you said that you've modified the lids on your critter keepers, I assumed that you meant the lids themselves and not the doors on the lids. I really wish...

    My critter setup

    Hello, beaker41. Thanks for your feedback! :) I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding my setup. Yeah, I could NOT believe the critter keepers were going for such a low price! Even if I would have purchased only one critter keeper, they would still go for just $10.99 each. So...

    My critter setup

    Thank you very much, grayzone! :) I am planning on putting six tarantulas into some of my terrestrial enclosures too. I will be getting three speices: Mexican redknee tarantulas (Brachypelma smithi), Mexican fireleg tarantulas (Brachypelma boehmei) and Brazilian salmon pink birdeaters...

    My critter setup

    Hello, grayzone. I will be adding a colony of striped bark scorpions (Centruroides vittatus) to the XL arboreal enclosure in the center and giant fishing spiders (Dolomedes okefinokensis) to the smaller arboreal enclosures. What does everyone else think of my enclosures since I've added...
