Flip all the rocks you want. I've been to many parts of the CNF and I got to be honest I never even knew this was prohibited. I've never seen a park ranger on a trail anywhere other than at Caspers and even then that is rare, and I really doubt anyone else out hiking or biking is going to care...

Pretty hardy in my experience. I bought an X. immanis sling in Jan. 2011 that has been kept at room temperature the entire time and it's done fine. I moved last October and believe me the room it was kept in was pretty chilly up until recently. Honestly in my experience any species that is...

H. lividum. I've had them explode out of their burrows faster than any arboreals I've owned.

I don't see a problem so long as you aren't make vertebrates a primary source of food. I dont use pinkies or fuzzies anymore because an adult female dubia is basically the same size (and a lot cheaper) but when I did I never noticed any issues with molting or anything else. I mean, go to...

Monsoon season is basically just thunderstorm season, right?

I dont know about the quick and painless part. I've seen dubias still moving their legs around after having been impaled on a T's fangs for an hour. Apparently tarantula venom is fairly useless on roaches. They are notoriously tough creatures though. As for pain, who knows. Im sure they...

My first T was a P. cancerides, I bought it because I wanted a large, aggressive (or defensive, if it suits you) T that was inexpensive and easy to care for, and that didnt have a bite that would worry me. Was a perfect buy on all counts, I must say. Truly underrated spider IMO.

Fast growing and very defensive. Mine is anyway.

I've got an Aphonopelma behlei MM that is the same size. Matured much smaller, and earlier, than I thought he would. I guess it's not uncommon.

I dont know about the gold or purple (would depend on the lighting) but certainly a freshly molted P. cancerides would should appear darker than that. Definitely not a B. vagans though.

I'll second that on the C. portoricae. I bought one (freebie, actually) in October of 2009 at about 1/8 inch (this thing was tiny, pinhead crickets are larger) that is currently about an inch. As you said, pretty slow for a tropical species.

Bravo, sir. :clap: When was the last time someone hatched out a sac of these guys here in the US? Not lately.

I would! Nothing better than seeing a really big, spectacular specimen of a given spider. Also, in my experience, A. geniculata are usually quite heavy bodied in proportion to their legspan. Very stout, powerfully built spiders.

Damn man you've been a pokie breeding machine this past year! Good luck with this one.

My H. gigas is NOT active! I rarely see her. In fact, if it wasnt for the fact that I can kinda see into her burrow through the glass terrarium she's in, I'd pretty much never see her. Now, if by active you mean that if you put one in an enclosure with plenty of fresh substrate for burrowing...

I dont have a set feeding schedule either. I'll feed them till they're fat (not obese though) for the most part. They get crickets until I can get them to consistently take dubias, which varies from spider to spider. As far as temps, I keep them at 80-85, roughly, until they get to about 2.5...

Here's some molt records for a few T's I've had B. albopilosum male: 08/25/09 purchased .25 inch 09/10/09 10/09/09 11/17/09 01/06/10 02/22/10 03/29/10 05/30/10 08/05/10 11/17/10 matured P. cambridgei male: 10/20/09 purchased .75 inch 11/21/09 12/26/09 01/26/10 02/27/10 04/05/10 05/17/10...

I chose the water dish. I've got a good mix of arboreals and terrestrials, and most of them seem to like to use their water dish for a toilet. Of course, maybe thats just where I notice it the most because Im constantly having to clean them out.

What kind of roach is that your feeding the B. sabulosum?
