Here's a few of mine, the first three were for a tarantula print folio I never finished due to lack of outside interest. The first four are pastels and charcoal, the last is graphite. The Tiger (Haplopelma Sp.) Come and Take Them (P. metallica) Haze (I want to say this is a...

In my seven years of T keeping, I'd only lost one. This year, I've lost four. A mature male g. rosea who managed to go two and a half years past his mature molt, and was still fiesty as ever until just before he died. A small Ephebopus uatuman who never quite perked up from being...

Good point and sounds like what I'll do. Thanks all for input!

:8o That's what I get for trusting the wikipedia latin name that came up.

I am allergic to quite a few other things, mostly plants as well as cats and guinea pigs. The only other inverts I'm allergic to are dust mites... which it seems almost everyone is from statistics. The roach allergy was determined by scratch and blood test, I know German roaches were a 5. I...

I'm thinking of starting a roach colony as feeders (I know, there's a million of these threads), but I have a bit of a different issue than just the usual "What should I get?" I'm seriously contemplating lobster roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea) and Blatta lateralis, but basically just need a fast...

Sorry about the panic, it was more or less a "Sick T, not sure what's wrong with it" and my brain jumped to worst case scenario as soon as it had something it could put together. I'll try the alcohol test as soon as I can.

I was also going on the fact she had not been eating, rapidly losing weight, had her palps fully tucked almost perpetually and was very prone to 'staggering' in how she walked, but I will definitely do what you said just to be 100%!

My favorite T, an Avic Avic had been restless and losing weight over a month now (About 3 now that I think about it), but never exhibited any other issues. Today she was on the bottom of her enclosure, and when I moved her to ICU, I finally saw the telltale sign of white, sticky stuff all over...

No, it's fluker's cricket food that the petstore put in :rolleyes:

I should be banned from going into pet stores, but we have a local "chain" that seems to take good care of their herps and similar. I popped into one that had just opened up in town, and noticed a small, ruddy-aged copper colored fuzzy ball of legs in the bottom of a tank. The sticky note on the...

The mysterious biting beast I obtained last spring as a "Goliath Pink Bird eating" Has molted and shown her true colors, being just a mystery old world when I found her. I'm the happy owner of a BIG female haplopelma albostriatum, who molted some time during the week in her hole. Pics will...

A 55 or so gallon tank full of goodies and a very sweet 4 foot long corn snake for thirty dollars, found not long after my baby corn died from mouth sores (from a bad pet shop) I also got several sizes of consecutive tanks sitting in each other for five dollars, and a large assortment of...

Two 'mystery Ts', one being a very dirty G. pulchra that was listed cheap on a pet store bulletin board, the other is still a mystery old world, which I got for half off on the condition that I could get that 'demon spider' out of the cage, and 15 dollars for a large old world T is a steal no...

For the first time since I got my mystery T (who is still a mystery) I can expand my collection. The catch is that my husband will be the one caring for them half the time as I'm a student. I picked them for a nice mix of interesting to look at (well, a few are) and hardy. Being sturdy...

I name my adults, not my slings until they're of the "Not spontaneously dying" size (I know no Ts spontaneously die, but out of large numbers it always seems like you get a few that kick the bucket for no apparent reason) Mine are: Virr (rosea), Atacama (rosea), Shelob (G. Aureostriata)...

This probably does no good, but it was the only shot I could get in a hurry in the dark that came out fairly decent. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v116/Katronmaster/?action=view&current=LesPics1082.jpg

I don't think so, it's a bit too dark, and the leg stripes are very muted, as are the abdominal ones.

Gotta love pet stores. I went in to buy crickets, and noticed they had a T relatively cheap listed as a 'Goliath pink bird eating'. It was fat, didn't look overly stressed, but was definitely not being well kept. I went back twice in hopes of IDing this timid ball of legs, which tended to...

I love savannahs, they're as close as I'll ever get to owning a real serval.
