You want a diet that will make them non smelly or something to feed them that doesn't smell too horrible? For food type stuffs that won't smell too odd go with fresh peas, romain lettuce, carrots, celery, squash, tomatoes, apple bits and dry dog foods (i feed mine the same stuff i feed my old...

I had a cricket problem and then I had a tokay gecko escape, I no longer have a cricket problem and I can still hear the gecko quacking occassionally. :)

I am a very bad man :evil: :evil: :evil: I have actually gotten several of my T's from the local pet shop as "dead" for the price of the enclosure they are in :D most of the employees don't go near the spider area and there is one young lady that works there and hates it. i have managed...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Damn and I thought CA had crazy restrictions. I just read through all the restrictions that Austalia has and what CA has and Australia has tons more restrictions. Might you just move there and leave your pets with friends? Can you get an importers licence...

I guess what fasincated me the most is the way that they move and seem to look at things. they reminded me of thing from the adams family when i was younger. more recently my fascination has become the rarity of some of them and the size variations of them all.

are there any schools in the area with which you are moving to? you could always send them as scientific specimens, that usually gets around most customs problems. i have had things shipped direct to me at the local college which i attend without any troubles. and if you need a viable study to...

Another reason why i don't use UPS. try to get your stuff sent fed ex usps or dhl (although dhl is a bit iffy on the handling of packages). each of those companies scans packages individually therefore you don't run into this problem of critters going mia. also don't send or have stuff sent...

Pokies really aren't that bad once you get some. I think the worst that one of mine has ever done is run around my head and face and then dart back into her hiding area :eek: :eek: :eek: I would think that OBTs are more unpredictable than pokies. As far as the venom goes just be overly...

if you get your plants from a commercial source soak them for a week and spray the leaves daily to clean them.

pathos, pepperomia, bromeliads, orchids (if you can keep them from dying), various ferns and that is all i can think of at the moment. Good luck and welcome to the hobby and the arachnoboards.

i'm insane Tarantulas cannot climb teflon, i just read that and said hmmm i must find this out. My mellow P. murinus (yes i know you all think i am crazy now for using mellow and p. murinus in the same sentence :? ) can climb anything so i took him out of his cage put him in a teflon pot and...

i thought blondi were burrowers are they not :? its 42 inches tall, if it were 42 inches wide then a blondi would be great.

i think the whole pissy thing is just common in about every third or fourth blondi because i have had a few and about every third or fourth one has an attitude. about what size was it when you got it? again it is a very impressive animal. on a side note: would you possibly part with it if it...

the anoles won't become food will they once the p. inminia gets to a good size?

maybe its listening to the radio and that is its antenna :? just kidding i thought it served as like a camels hump in that is could hold excess food/water.

anyone know where i can get a decent size of either of those for less than a grand? i would like to get one around 3 or 4 inches and preferably female.

do you have all your fingers? here is my experience with them, they are big and they are mean. i have had p. murinus and some other fairly aggressive critters but p.cancerides is super aggressive. i had to cover mine after it got to 5" because if you got within a few feet of its cage it would...

go with code monkey's idea and leave them with mum for the time being. also eded has some other good points that you should consider before taking your t's with you. all kinds of crazy stuff can happen when you are sharing a place with someone else that doesn't know what to do and what not to do...

great pics :drool: how long have you had it?

To wolfpak: don't have a digital camera at the moment, gave mine to my sis as a moving gift. i have my normal camera and i will take pics and get them developed asap. To bridgebane: thanks for letting me know which t's can co-habitate To cacoseraph: nope i do scorpions as well just i...
