There's just something about the skittering sound roaches make when they run around. Going to school downtown in a somewhat large city, roaches were not your friends...

They're beautiful! Watch out for the little versicolor. They're fast and they like to explore at any opportunity!

Poor guy. Wonder if the others attacked him or...? I wouldn't think he'd need anything special as far as set-up. Might need maimed or killed feeders longer than the rest, though, until he heals.

Aww. I think it's even harder to lose the little babies. I'm so sorry.

I'm so relieved. I was ready to have this ruin my weekend. Aaron actually just emailed me back and let me know this didn't apply to inverts. :D

Crap. Seriously? http://www.sewerfest.com/index.php?link=rules This sort of makes going a waste of time for me...

Here's another helpful method for use with slings especially: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=178953 But also I would agree with there possibly being too much ventilation. Possibly cover some of the vents with saran wrap.

If you can post some pictures using photobucket, etc, someone here might be able to help you be more confident in what you have. S/he, being an Avicularia, will probably not need a cave/hide as they are arboreal and not terrestrial. They like hanging out in greenery and on the walls of...

What is your T? Maybe you've answered and I can't seem to find it, but this info makes us able to answer your questions.

Some say it will bother them. Some say they get used to it. I have two very young kids and that's a lot of noise. My Ts hid at first but seem to be used to it now (slings and adults). Only one is skittish and crazy, but that's just her. Smoke outside. Healthier for you, the Ts, and helps you...

You know... maybe what I should do is get myself a pair and send them off to Jason just so that they'll be slings in the hobby. He could just send me back a couple of slings and maybe the female after a few sacs. :D What's really holding me up at the moment is the fact that SEWERfest is on...

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! I really wish my husband wasn't terrified of snakes. Congratulations!

For weeks I've been thinking of getting an E campestratus, B smithi, A moderatum, or some Avics. My mind: Should I get a pair of campestratus and try to breed even though I don't feel ready? Should I get just one? Do I want a large adult again so soon after the bad molt killed my...

Looks pretty female to me.

You could name it Kelly or Pat... ;)

The only time I use "circulated air" is to get my avicularia slings away from the entrance to their enclosures so I can do maintenance without jail breaks. :)

The pros and cons of these and other substrates have been debated many times. It's really a matter of preference. Look up "peat moss", "substrate", etc in the search box to find many useful threads.

What is meant by ventilation is to have small holes or screen ports in your enclosure so that air can circulate. Do not use fans etc near your tarantulas. The vibrations will upset them as will the air being blown at them.

Have you noticed any fang issues?

I'm skipping my nephew's 5 birthday to go. heh...
