I usually dip a Q-tip in a bottle of rubbing alcohol and hold it against the abdomen for a few seconds. This usually softens my molts right away with no lasting ill effects (just in case you keep them like me). Touching it to the joints of the legs also allows you to re-position them easily...

Actually, go ahead and put a few in on Monday. If she's hungry, she will come out to eat. If they are still there Tuesday morning, I would recommend taking them out and waiting a few more days before retrying. And I almost forgot, welcome to the boards. :) Kevin

I started with a small Discoid starter colony of about 15 adults. For several months I would find dropped egg cases and no nymphs. After moving them to a warmer place, they began to reproduce like crazy. Now after about 3 or 4 months, I have several hundred small to medium sized nymphs and...

First off, welcome to the hobby. The L. parahybana is a fine T, but they do grow very large very quickly. I personally would go with the B. smithi or G. aureostriata first. Both of those are considered great beginner T's. I have all three, but the smithi is probably my favorite due to...

Of the four species I have, my favorites are my B. jacksoni. I really like their color, speed, and attitude.

Very nice. Do you supplement your punctata's food with viagra? ;)

If you are referring to actually using foreceps to grasp the T and pick it up, as one would a scorpion, I would have to advise against it. Damage to the tarantula would no doubt result. If you just want to use them to coax the T toword a deli cup or onto your hand, I would say that it can be...

The only T that I have heard of using this as a defense mechanism is M. robustum, which this T most definitely is not. :? http://www.tarantulas.com/columgia.asp Oh well, enjoy the kingsnake. :D

Very nice. I sure hope mine looks as good when she's* all grown up. *wishful thinking :D

Great video. I'm picking up 4 of these beauties this weekend at a local show to start a small communal tank. I can't wait!!! :}

My versi molted last week and is finally showing some adult colors: You gotta love those furry purple legs! He she is back in mid January: Thanks for looking. Kevin

I would look for a 2"+ B. smithi. At that size it will be showing adult colors and should not be too expensive. Mine is always out in the open, eats like a pig, and stays pretty calm (most of the time). Here is my girl at about 3" Oh and by the way, there is no stopping. In just over...

I'd go with the A. versicolor. Mine just started showing adult colors. What a beauty. If you want another good looking docile terrestrial, you can't go wrong with B. emilia or B. boehmei.

Definitely a G. Rosea. It would make a great first T for you.

Cut an opaque plastic cup in half lengthwise and then to whatever length you want your hide to be. Once covered with substrate you and your T will never know the difference.

No idea what the roaches are but the pics are fantastic. Looks like the lip behind the head may be some adaptation for scooping out the dirt while digging. Very nice.

My Discoids took 6 months before I saw any offspring. During that period I found 5 or 6 dropped egg cases. I started out with about a dozen adults and about twenty nymphs of various sizes. In that past two months, my colony has expolded and now I have about 25 adults and large nymphs as well...

If you decide to mover her in the cage, I would fill the open space in the KK with wadded up paper towels or something else soft. That would both limit how much she can move around while traveling as well as protect her in the case of a fall. Also, don't overfeed her before the trip, as a full...
