    Question about substrate?

    I think the part that Lexx is refering to is on page 114-115 about "Organic Substates". The main argument's are that some organic materials such as cedar shavings are toxic to T's and that organic substates rot and break-down creating an environment, inviting mites to live and reproduce there...

    What's the smallest water turtle on the market?

    Someone once told me there were tiny water turtles for sale in a petshop maybe a few inches(illegal from what I read here). They told me the turtles stay small forever and don't get biger than a few inches. My thought is that its probably a pet shop selling baby turtles lying to people. Are...

    Wild Caught vs. Captive Breed

    I agree with this. The disadvantage to finding wild scorps is you can't tell the age besides guessing based on size. Advantage is you might catch a gravid female.:drool:

    carnivorous plants

    I love growing plants but have had no success growing one in a terrarium. They are much easier in plastic pots. Try it though maybe its just not my thing other people do it all the time. If you get tired of reading watch this...

    why are most people afraid of tarantulas ?

    I think there are many things that cause arachnophobia and fear in people. I have a friend who is soo afraid of spiders he can't even look at a picture of one. If Im on this site and he knows it he leaves the room. Its that bad and the biggest factor for him is his parents are both just as...

    Do scorpions hate white and red lights?

    It depends on your room temp. Most tarantulas if not all are perfectly fine at room temp. and don't need any extra heat but your scopion would most likely benefit from extra heat. Like fictitious said heat pads are great and much easier to use just put it on the side of the tank or make sure...

    What if Scorps were HUGE?

    We would be food. They would be so fast and strong if proportianal to there abilitys being so small now. Very scary but I suppose humans would just kill them all.

    Feeding your scorps black crickets...

    Probably is refering to the Gryllus assimilis, field cricket Its better to be safe and buy crix or raise your own. Parisites are usually so bad its not worth the risk to save a penny. I don't think this would affect scorpions but it is really interesting Please read you wont regret it parisite...

    Gameshow exerting scorpion cruelty?!:(

    Whether they feel pain or not is trivial, what matters is the fact that they die. For what? Our entertainment. This is whats wrong. If after the show they had a big scorp dinner then I would have no problem with this. "you kill it, you eat it" If people are so fascinated by this then lets...

    8/8/2008...a collaboration of enthusiasts

    I think this is a great idea and a good point to remember is how important flashy thing such as good pictures(tarantula, scorp, exc). This would attract not only inthusiasts but would raise general awareness. Many people don't even reallize that you can buy a beautiful tarantula as a pet:wall...
