I have always found them in the garden(pesticide free)or like webbedone said under logs or rocks. A few years back there was a lot of talk about them. If you search under pill bug or roly polies there should be some info, Someone even started a colony I think. I had about 8-12 in a 10gal...

My T's have never eaten pillbugs, I used to put them into the containers because they eat dead and decaying plants and cricket/roach remains.

I had a Spider that would do the same thing when it got close to premolt. Since it is killing its own pray I wouldnt worry to much, Do you have a fresh water source in the tank? And you spider might just like the soft gooey centers, Like me when it comes to Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Trust me you wont regret it. You will see a completly differeant side of your spiders at night with a red light. I think so many people feel their spider does nothing because they expect them to be active in daylight and that is just not the spiders way.

Today I grabbed my two sling containers that were stacked on top of each other. The top container fell, bounced on my thigh and then rolled down my leg right in front of an awaiting cat that proceeded to bat the container around. In a panic I almost dropped the other one, luckly the sling seems...

T. Blondi-Terrestrial Most of the large sized T's will be terrestrial,

One of the few bad parts of this hobby, But be aware if you stay in this hobby there will be more. The worst part is eventually it will be a spider that was your first, and the one you had for 10 years. Trust me I know. Dont worry you will get through this.

In the past I used to do this, But I noticed that most of the time the tarantula would just turn into a pet rock. Since a bright light shining on them suddenly is very unlikely to happen in nature I stopped. Later I picked up a small, less powerful red light to observe my spiders. It works...

Sorry to hear, I always have a few of those Grabber heat packs handy for emergencies just like this, they put out good heat for a longtime and are very inexpensive.

Very cool. I have always wanted one that pretty.

I always mix about 2 handfulls of the stuff with my substrate, And I also use it as decoration around my T's cage's. Very neat looking after you get it all out.

Mine have always done thier own thing, I have had WC and CB T's escape, And I have had both WC and CB T's that I have left the container open for about a hour and they have not escaped.

I have a Q, My very pretty C. fasciatum and all my other T's have always had poo that is white. Well about 2 weeks ago I noticed my Tiger Rump was pooing brown and lots of it. I just switched to Flukers Orange Cubes for my crix. And my area is getting real warm around 80 deg F on avaragefor most...

I have had to transport a T for a 5 hour trip. I first put the T's contianer (I try to use short wide containers, that way the T would not climb to the top and fall, or the container will not tip over) on a soft pillow or cusion, the pillow was big enough that I could fluff the sides of the...

T's dont drink a large amount of water, more water evaporates then goes into the T. and Bill that GGB is Awsome, the colors are so vivid

Wow I had no Idea,My P. lugardi who is to my knowledge at least 8yrs old molts yearly, I thought that all T's molt within a year. Well I feel better thanks everyone.

I am a little worried that my favorite T (G. rosea)is getting old and close to death. I got her mid June 2005, she is 3.5" from left front claw to left rear claw. When I got her I ask the guy when she last molted he said end of April beginning of May 2005, I know he is telling the truth...

mine is always out and always active. mine doesnt have a hide, I just let her go and do her own thing, and I was rewarded. Her burrow is all the way around the base of her jar. it is a big circular burrow and I always get to see my T. Mine is a health eater also, took a giant mealworm, and like...

I pulled the nOOb mistake, at about 11yrs old bought a T on a whim brought her home without knowing a thing. The next day my mom got me The Tarantula Keepers Guide I read that book in one day. I still have her to a P. lugardi:evil:

My 2.5" Chaco (Panzer), (Yes he is a tank, and in my mind he is German) was lookin a little hungry so I gave him a giant mealworm about 1.5" Panzer jumped on that thing and was like alligator wrestling he was twisting and rolling and smashing into the side of his home and I heard him make a...
