Pokie slings look so cute. I mean, look at their little feet! They have such big toes!

No need to be snappy! I was just trying to be NICE!

Well first off, that's one camel spider hanging onto another, and secondly, it's just the perspective that makes it looks big. If you look to the right of them where the sleeve is, you'll find that they aren't actually that big at all.

I've never kept anything close to Solifugids ever, but I've read posts here stating: They don't need feeding everyday. Their enclosures shouldn't be extremely hot all day (temp should drop at night) And most importantly, they hibernate.

wow you really have no concept of how diverse life on earth is, do you?

Hey Deroplatys, is tap water safe to use? And if so, does it need changing every now and again, or scavengers?

In the spring, I'm gonna try keep some pond skaters, water scorpions and great diving beetles, but I have no idea what special requirements they have. I know they're carnivores, and I know they're aquatic, but how much would they need feeding? does the water need changing every now and again...

hurray! skittles! beautiful spiders, and amazing photography.

Probably talking about P. johnsoni

Thanatus vulgaris and it looks to be gravid too

I'd say some sort of Diplurid, they don't make funnel webs, they make castle webs.

Then the OP could simply go out and find a S. polymorpha if he wanted to, since he's in CA.

Isn't S. polymorpha native to California?

And what better to get than the humble G. rosea! Got her on Monday, but my computer was down that day. She ate today, and gave me my first ball of mushy cricket parts! hurray! http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/2443/dsc0042jg.jpg linked because the image is freakishly huge.

Slugs, snails, Planaria, earthworms and Isopods

I highly doubt that the spider in your cricket tub is a Tegenaria, the most commonly found sp in cricket tubs are Thanatus vulgaris, a Philodromid crab spider. Does it look like this? Not my pic, btw. And I'll try to take a photo of my Tegenaria later, although I'll have to coax it out of its...

and a bonus picture, a carpet beetle larva from a cricket tub

Yeah, it's spelt ecdysis. I had to learn how to spell that though, I always end up typing edycis, edyciscis or edysicsis. Have a beamish day, and try not to be uffish. It's been rather tulgey lately.:)

Awesome, but warning: these guys are INCREDIBLY fast, and they defecate a lot too, which makes cleaning it out extremely risky. Maybe I need a more natural setup with plenty of hiding space, but since it's a foreign species I have no idea what its natural habitat is like.

I've thought of keeping eels before, but that's it.
