He tested pyrantel ld50 for roaches. Problem that roach cannot eat enough to die. It's just goes disoriented before it can eat enough. Letal dose 50 means that this is when half of your animals already dead, and another half is still alive. It specific for every animal. Anyways, when LD50 was...

Hello again. Some intersting news from my friend. First one - it seems that there is at least two genus of nematodes that infect tarantula. First one - is small, that one, that infected my spiders. Second one, is big - simmilar to this - http://www.giantspiders.com/article12.html And...

He told me that he's testing it on Gromphadorhina portentosa. Pyrantel block only acetylcholine, you can read about it on Wiki. We dont really know for what tarantulas use acetylcholine, but we know - they use it. Anyway pyrantel dont block it forever, only for the time it need to kill...

Good news, everyone! (c) Hubert J. Farnsworth I just finished testing Pyrantel x Cefotaxime on my healty spiders. They're feeling fine and looks good. Also my friend from University are finishing his LD50 tests on roaches.

Well, i have about 60 diffirent spicies, and on my practice this is my second time. I think this one (N.vulpinus) was infected by my first ill tarantula - P.ornata male. This problem is not common in Russia, and most keepers never face it. Only keepers with big collections have this problem...

No. They live only in mouth area (well.. it what just theory say)

Thanks :) In Russia both things is available at human-pharmacy, also without any prescription... but in Russia nobody cares what you buy. I think there would be no problem to find them in US. (In Russia they can be found in any pharmacy (im not sure that this is correct word - i mean Drugstore...

There is a problem in the damage that nematodes do to tarantula's stomach and intestines. If nematodes live in tarantula for too long they produce too much bacteria that become necrosis of tarantula that will cause anorexia and specific smell, so if it's too late drugs will just kill tarantula...

Hello, im from Russia, my name is Vasiliy. I have about 60 different species of tarantulas in my collection and more than 300 spiders total. Also i have snakes, scorpions, and roaches. )

Nah.. this is definitely Grammostola.

Hello from cold Russia, sorry for my bad English ;P It seems that we have found nematode cure, but it needs a bit more testing. If you have any nematode-sick tarantulas you could try this method on them, anyways it's won't get worse if you try. What can be worse than death, right?) First...

Well, if she can't go further down in drainpipe, you could just wait. Also turning lights off could help.

well.. anyway i think it's male. It's big enough, females in this size have more vivid colors... http://www.spidy.goliathus.com/foto/0707_P_regalis_male.jpg males look's like P.Rufilata

You can use hair dryer (BUT IN COLD MODE!!!) from the other side of pipe... it can help. But you need to disassemble your bathroom))

What about Epiandrous fusillae photo?)

Hello! Did anyone know some care information regarding this tarantula? Ive tried search but nothing there. What temperature and humidity etc. it needs? Also maybe some one know in what part of Madagaskar it lives? Sorry for my bad English :D

Thanks for reply, Arachnethegreek. Im not so far from Moscow, so, i think it possible. But as i know radiation can't actually go this way and harm anything, this is just a radiation, not chemical or biological threat. Anyway, i already killed my roaches with 98% hydrogen peroxide, this was...

bliss, thanks, i think i will put them in quarantine then. But this all smells like in a morgue or even worse... This is the terrible smell i ever smelt in my life. bobusboy, thanks. I think i should learn English a bit better. For the roaches.. They died (i think) after i feed them with some...

Hi there. First of all, sorry for my bad English, but i hope you can understand me. Sorry for a wrong forum also. But im really need help. So, My roach colony (Nauphoeta cinerea) was about 3000-5000 roaches. Today i found that about 95-99% of them are dead. Conditions was good (normal...
