Are you willing to buy used? I've never bought a new camera because with camera gear there is always tons of hardly used pro cameras that sell for less than half their new price. Tons of people try photography with expensive gear and sell it all a year later hardly touched because they just...

Try not to fall into the trap where you believe nice photographs are made with nice, expensive cameras. That's what the manufacturers want you to believe so that you dump your gear and upgrade every two years or buy some equipment that is too expensive for what you really need. The lens you...

They are still abundant and cheap as WC imports, but over the years the location for where they are imported from has changed and the more recent imports don't look as good to me as the ones from 20 years ago did. The newer imports tend to have a smaller adult size and not colored as nicely...

Bump. Still looking.

Wish you were stateside and had some of his babies!

They should be more popular than they are. Like many reptiles in the hobby they seem to only catch on if morphs start getting produced. There are some tokay morphs but I don't really care for them, I tend to prefer a good looking wild type. There seem to be some fertility issues with females...

They do vary in color a bit depending on where they are from it seems. I have some that are very dark almost granite colored and others that are very light almost pastel color with little spots. All were wild caught so they so vary a bit. I'm hoping to get more blue ones with red spots in my...

I like the looks of your tokay. I'm hoping I find some that look like him in the states.

So I posted this a few years ago and still haven't kept any of those nice baby blue colored wild caught tokay I saw in pet stores as a kid. If anyone knows someone breeding normal types let me know.

That's great, thanks!

I used one on a friend's cat who had fleas and the seresto do work in my opinion but this person didn't have fleas. They will work as long as the fleas are not resistant which is only a matter of time. When I treated my own cat I used oral medications and was still overly cautious with petting...

I had to battle a pretty bad flea infestation once in a home with wall to wall carpeting and many invertebrate pets. While dog sitting fleas were introduced to my indoor only cat and ended up infesting my home. I was quite worried after a few weeks when only using natural remedies the problem...

T Thank you for giving proper credit for the quote. I forgot to do so.

Yeah I make my sling containers in a similar fashion. Groups of holes along the bottom and top of the enclosures. I don't bother with holes in lids since I want my containers to be stackable. My purpurea had been recently purchased and I rehoused it knowing how important ventilation is. The...

Their hate may not be solely from ignorance. According to some, a fear of spiders may be a "functionally distinct set of adaptive responses which have been selected for during the evolutionary history of the human species." This suggests it could be an adaptive fear and an instinct and doesn't...

I tend to buy species I want to breed in lots of 6 or more as slings and in my experience the males mature and hook out before I feel like any females are ready so they are moved on to other keepers. Having said that it is possible for there to be a good deal of inbreeding in those species for...

I had a sling die last year as well. Wasn't entirely sure what happened. Thought perhaps it was the lack of cross ventilation since the container it was housed in for a while had holes in the cover but none along the sides and wet media. Your enclosure seems well-ventilated.

It would be best to give her a break from being handled. It is possible she was dropped or was injured somehow and all you can do is give some time to recover. While I disagree with the practice of handling tarantulas I make an exception for those animals used for education and to raise...

This. People giving advice they are not qualified to give. If I had to think of another it would be the anthropomorphism that goes on with tarantulas or their other animals.

Really? I get sarcasm rather than an apology? What bothers me more is the inability for other adults to see it as a weasely way to get out of something after they've been proven wrong. I see that phrase upvoted and liked far too often. It's like ending a debate with "I know you are but what...
