I'm using an enclosure from Animal plastics for my carpet python. They ship within the time period they specified and keep you updated via email. It comes disassembled and they take some work to build. Kinda like building a big desk or drawer you buy for your home. They are heavier than you...

My personal experience is that my s. polymorpha is out all the time, and my s. subspinipes is out maybe half the time, with the other half spent hiding. If I stay up late I can usually see the s. subspinipes out wandering his terrarium after 12:00 at night.

I noticed that my King does not like the coconut shell I offered him. When I had a half log on the cold side, and a coconut shell on the warm side, I frequently find him under the half log despite the warmth and the relatively colder room temperature. After switching the half log over to the...

I put 'em in a small bowl, then place the bowl in the fridge (not the freezer) sometime in the morning, I take the bowl out at night, put the mouse inside a small zip lock bag, put bag in warm water for 10 minutes then feed.

Well, sometimes a guy gets too much spare time on his hands, and gets bored and curious... Ever smell your Ts? Ts got a nice, sweet-ish smell, too.

I've ordered some acrylic resins and am ready to start making plastic paper weights w/ roaches encased inside. One quick question, though. How would I euthanize them? I understand I can probably just stick 'em in the freezer and thaw them again, but that might cause some complicated issues...

My hissers smells funky. Like, bad, stanky kinda funky. B dubia ain't so bad.

Oh don't worry she's on aspen. I tried placing the heated pinky in front of her face tonight, gently moving it and whatnot. She yawned at me. She actually, yawned. Blah. She did flick her tongue out at the mouse a lot, was definitely a lot more reaction than I typically get. Will try...

If cricket/roach mash does not work the first time, keep trying, when my spider had the fang problem going on she would always pounce on any live prey introduced in the enclosure (and be unable to eat), but she would not always respond to the roach innard when it is placed. Another thing...

This is a baby sand boa I got a couple of weeks ago. She is roughly 6-8 inches long. Currently in tupperware shoebox about 6in wide, 12in long and 6in tall. Has UTH, temp range from 76-90 in enclosure. Area of the cage floor directly above the UTH is about 90, a small ring around that area...

My tarantula had fang problems from a bad molt and was not able to hunt for itself. I managed to feed it by giving it shredded beef heart found in some pet store placed on a gatorade bottle cap dish. Later on I killed roaches and removed innards (white gooey stuff from abdomen area) and...

Thanks for the info folks. I found a thing off of froogle called a "critter cover" made by hagen, which is basically a kritter keeper cover made to fit a ten gallon tank. I've ordered one and will see if it is good.

My a. genic has molted again and she is getting a wee bit too big for the kritter keeper I currently have her in. I got a ten gallon aquarium coming to me in a week or two, but I haven't decided on what to use for the cover. Can those metal mesh screen covers hurt the tarantulas in anyway...

Try www.bigcheeserodents.com , I've ordered from them and received decent mice/services.

Oh yeah I've heard about the humid box thing for them. But the container I got is one of them plastic tupperware sweater boxes (It's got it's own lock at 2 of the sides, but the sides without the lock thingie got some space for the lid to be lifted), something lots of people use, how do people...

I'm getting a kenyan sand boa baby shortly. While I have a proper sized enclosure for her while she's small, I'm being wondering if the container I reserved for her in the future is good. From my research I understand adult females would do fine in a 20 gallon tank. What I current have...

I use it. It's fine, occasionally I've gotten mold, but only if it's WAAY too humid, or if there's bits of uneaten stuff lying around.

My apartment's also got a no-pets policy. What I did was while the housing agent was showing me the apartment, I casually asked some questions like where's the laundry facility, does the microwave there come with the place, and lastly asked whether a fish was ok. She replied "yeah, you got...

That is exactly the same way my A. Genic acts. She's got deformed fangs and/or chela after a recent molt. I found packaged, chopped up beef heart bits for sale in a Petsmart (was found in a freezer in the fishfood section, apparently for piranhas and whatnot). Since the meat is chopped up...

RAs usually don't care about the job, and the room checks around my college pretty much works the way you said it - they inform you weeks in advance to make sure you got plenty of time to hide prohibited stuff. So long as you don't have a constant stream of people coming in and out of your...
