I think 1.49 / is a great price for a sturdy, washable, transparent container with lid ! Do they come in other sizes ?

Trey - I live in TN, outside of Knoxville. Fall is a great time to catch preying mantis, especially on a warm afternoon. I have seen them on a butterfly bush and other shrubs around the house. Also, if there are unmowed fields - like overgrown pastures near you, you are likely to find a...

I'm with WindChaser. I have 21 T's and my cobalt is one of my least favorites - not that isn't strikingly beautiful - its just that I never see it. For that reason alone, I wouldn't recommend it for a first T. It is a nice addition to a collection, but doesn't really represent the interesting...

I envy you for being able to go hunting. Nice pics. I received two A. hentzii today, nice calm spiders. Lucky you

I get a T for every pair of shoes my wife has ! Another vote for the GBB - great colors, nice display spider. I second the sentiment that you should get whatever makes you happy and disregard the rare/common criteria. A favorite in my collection is A. brocklehursti - attractive colors...

Not good enough to venture a guess... but they are great looking. Did you catch them in cozymel, acquire them from some outlet?

Daywalker - I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of your "cubes". Maybe you have a link to an old post handy ?

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps I should try a different roach species ?

Have been doin the cricket and mealworm thing for several years. Got tired of the smell of crickets and decided I would try feeder roaches. Ordered 200 lobsters from Blaberus. Here's the question(s): how the crap do you catch the little beasts. They run like the wind. And do any of your T's...

I'll be in Albuquerque / Santa Fe on business next week. Was wondering: 1) what species are native to the area 2) if anyone is interested in going on an evening 'hunt'

Brachymad - love your setup. You take the concept of 'display animal' to new heights. :clap:

Thanks for the responses. I will allow the substrate to become very dry and see if this helps. If it doesn't, I'll chock it up to behavioral diversity !

I have a T that looks like my mother in law {D

Quick question for anyone who has kept this species before. Mine virtually 'lives' on the side of the kritter keeper. The substrate is a mixture of potting soil and vermiculite. Is this indicative that she doesn't like the substrate, or is this just a species/individual ideosyncracy?

Hope you're speaking strictly about T's here :8o

Wicked - the semi-suspended waterdish sounds like an excellent idea When I introduced my cobalt to her new home, I provided a 16oz deli cup partly submerged as a hide. 'She' quickly took to it and transformed it into her private retreat. I since have no problems with maintenance - but at the...

Ordering crickets... Please excuse the change in topic... I have been ordering crickets and mealworms from www.southerncricket.com for several years - always been pleased with the quality and service. Not sure where you're at, but you might want to give them a try.

Crickets eggs need to be deposited in a moist, warm place to hatch successfully. We find an occassional stray hopping about, but that's never really been a problem (for me).

Spider-Eye: You Rock !

Thanks all, for the responses, especially the nice pics. Perhaps we can trade our native species and expand our collections !
