Hello! Some while ago I saw a picture of a really neat tarantula and I think it was here on the Boards. As far as I recall it, it was an African spider, possibly aboreal. The peculiar thing about it was that the posterior pair of legs had really long hairs on them, making it look almost as if...

It's not scientific to just grab could-be facts out of the thin air, because someone heard a lecture at a conference. If you'd like to participate in the discussion on a serious level you have got to deliver some references on your statements. Papers or research reports for example. Or at the...

Yes, and every time i feed a vertebrate to one of my spiders 16 chinese die. That doesn't necessarily mean that theres a connection. :) Let's please keep the discussion on a scientific level. /Cheers!

I've been in the hobby for 11 years and I've never had a problem with malnutrition in any of my animals. I'd sure like to see a reference on that Ca/Mg statement? Or at least a more detailed description than "a negative reaction". /Cheers!

It depends on the weight of the subject at hand. Fuzzy mice (about 5cm body) are given every 8-12 days and adult mice once a month. The same goes for lizards and anoles. Compare the weight of the live feeder to the weight of the little furry ball left in the corner by the spider (they won't eat...

I don't bother feeding my mature blondies crickets. Once they reach 9"+ crix are like snacks to them. Instead i can highly recommend feeding them small vertebrates and now and then maybe a large roach or a couple of crickets as a supplement. It's so much easier that way. :) /Cheers!

Me and my girlfriend were out looking for Vipera berus on the moors of Jutland. The weather was a bit cloudy with some rain, so no viperids, but we did find some forest lizards: 0.0.1 Lacerta vivipara 0.0.1 L. vivipara (This specimen was missing it's tail) 0.0.1 L. vivipara...

This is probably a silly question, but wouldn't an albino lack all pigmentation? Isn't this variation just amelanistic? /Cheers!

My girlfriend gets awfully attatched to both feeder mice and rats. It don't bother me though. But then again, I would use leprechauns as feeders if the snakes could swallow them. :D

Funky! They're almost competing with caninus in beauty. /Cheers!

Beautiful venom as always Lelle. And a vey nice hortulanus as well. I cant recall having seen such a red specimen before. Is that normal? Edit: The coloration i mean. Not wether it's normal having seen one. :D

I've been looking for B. alvarius myself without the slightest bit of luck. Are you looking specifically for alvarius because of it's entheogenic effects or is there some other purpose behind this? :) /Cheers!

That's awesome! Children have a truly natural fascination with animals. It's cool to see parents take active part in this. I think that's one of the moste effective ways of biological preservation. To make people interested in and care for herps and the environment as a whole from childhood. You...

*Spidershoppe* Oh, you own that site? I've been drooling over your pics quite a number of times! Your pics are awesome. I really like Atheris as well, but if I don't limit myself somehow there would be no end to my herp-purchases. :D Therefore I mainly keep crotalids. I'm really fascinated by...

Yes, unfortunately. I've seen a lot of people behave rather reckless around several species of Tremerisurus. It's definitely not a genus to be trifled with.

1.1 Trimeresurus albolabris resting on Banisteriopsis caapi vine. 1.0 T. albolabris. Hope you enjoy them. /Cheers all!

Nice pics all around, but where are your dorsal shots? 0.1 Latrodectus menavodi Excuse the blurrines and out-of-focus areas. The pic was taken while running full speed. :D /Cheers!

Damn, that's a nice specimen! And a great shot as well. What do you use for lighting when photographing though glass? /Cheers!

Nice setup and beautiful coloration. C. durissus is certainly one of my favourite crotalids. Good luck raising him. /Cheers!
