    Would you rescue it from the LPS?

    I agree with all of the above. But perhaps you should try talking to them on how the T should be set up. Like it was already stated just buying it to save it will only cause them to get more. Education can go a long way.... Kevin

    Raising Theraphosa slings

    yup the maggots turn into the phorid flies. Any leftover food in moist conditions will cause them to go for it and reproduce. Cleanliness is the only way to fight them really. Kevin

    Megaphobema mesomelas molt

    It took a medium cricket today but it never jumps on them like some other spiders. More like let it crawl around and on me for a few hours then eat it. I actually lost the molt...I left it on the scope and it flew away somewhere. Sorry I wish I did have it still. Thanks for the response. Kevin

    Megaphobema mesomelas molt

    Thanks for the link! There is some good information there for sure. Im still looking for an opinion on my picture though..... I actually have had the sling since August or September I think. It always has been a picky eater for me which is why it took forever to molt. It would eat one week then...

    Megaphobema mesomelas molt

    I posted this in the sexing gallery but no one has responded. I have a question not only about the sex but of some structures in the photo. The spider is 1" + Megaphobema mesomelas. It seems to have a flap? but if so what are the structures to the left and right of it? Looking for some expert...

    G Pulchripes hibernating?

    What size of chaco? You said her, but is it for sure a female? Most likely it will just be molting soon. If WC or bred could be a sac coming. Kevin

    Water bowls. Are they really necessary???

    There is no "Correct" answer to this....It depends on experience and environmental conditions. Substrate, temperature, husbandry etc. Dry Land species from the genus Aphonopelma don't have "water" in the summer. The ground is rock hard....They get dew if they are lucky and water from prey...

    Smuggler Caught Shipping tarantulas in LA

    Something that seems kind of interesting about this to me is why would someone order Brachypelma smithi from someone overseas? There are loads of Captive bred babies in the U.S. Just seems sort of odd....like they ordered that one specifically to Attach the CITIES issue to the rest of the...

    leaking abdomen :(

    Thanks for the replies! All day today the area was up dried. I had to move her cage unfortunately and she got spooked. I didn't see her kick at all but her butt was raised. Now she has started leaking yet again. Not nearly as big of a drop but its there. Not dripping or anything like that. I...

    leaking abdomen :(

    Yes its from her....As she would kick more fluid came out. Its clear and its coming from the top middle of the abdomen, maybe just past that. Its right in the bald patch from her scratching. She was not grooming when she was disturbed. Today the droplet isn't there but its still wet and...

    leaking abdomen :(

    Ok so my female Pamphobeteus antinous molted about 4 weeks ago. She is hardened up and eating fine. She is an extreme hair kicker and tonight I was messing in her cage. She started kicking hairs like normal but then all of a sudden the top of her abdomen started leaking. There was no bumps or...
