I apologize, it is the 20th and 21st.

Another year, another fair.

Glassy Winged Sharpshooter, my favorite pest, NOT!

If they are hungry, they will eat them. have patience.

Coir and Peat are GREAT media for moisture retention. If you are looking to increase moisture, break it up with perlite or vermiculite. I'm currently working on a couple of medium mixtures in my propogation class, and so far my best results have been from pure coir, peat or a mix of those with...

Are you trying to powerfeed it or are you feeding it regularly on a schedule? If you are power feeding it, what size would you estimate it to be and what is your feeding schedule?

Ahh a socal resident. This is definately the "american" cockroach and it is a big pest down here. What we would need to know is where it was caught, condition of residence, how clean the residence is being kept, are there any leaks, and are there any really sloppy neighbors. I've gone over...

Cornell has a really good university. UCR and UCDavis in California are considered some of the leading entomology programs as well as Texas A&M. For the most part, I would accomplish a biology degree and go post graduate to any of those universities. I'm at cal poly pomona working on a plant...

Do you know where your fruits came from? Are they locally grown or from another country? If they are local, are they from regions of the country currently in a hazard zone for the Asian Citrus Psyllid? I've been doing some research on the ACP for senior project and as a potential platform for...

It is still being discussed, but there are plenty of people who use either tap or bottled. I have used both and the only difference I personally have witnessed is mineral deposits on the cages. And what's up with an archaic bump, but good on the search function.

Zon, what you could do for that is actually just a few natural colored lights in a white room reflecting off the walls. I'm a natural light person, so f-stop, aperture and iso are the more important parts for me. using a flash is just ugly. for a home made diffuser, you could use a white...

I've been thinking with the few pennies i have left to get one. As for color, Avic. versicolor is awesome color, Avic. metallica is not bad, but my guys are still a little small. I think this Christmas I will be getting a P. metallica though.

Keep water available and it should be fine.

This is heresay and not good advice. If you do not own the particular species you really shouldn't comment on them. that being said, my versi is probably my coolest T to deal with. She (confirmed) is one of the few that will be out and about, easily feedable and when i need to manipulate her...

I have one that i got in august of 2010 that was 2i and is now only about 3" dls and roughly 8i. so they grow depending on the owner.

What I think you need to do is read up more on closed and open eco systems and understand that T's live with springtails, mites and other non-predator cleaners as well as other predators in the wild. While most keepers can have a very closed system, there are just some that are made for the...

can you describe the bugs better? What about temperatures and humidity levels? try drying out the Avic. tanks and lividium. let them get less moist and see how well the bugs do. Depending on how you describe the bugs, they could be anything from springtails to mites to who knows what. As...

If i have small slings, i like to go to the 99 cent store and get the taller 32 oz containers. For taller containers, the animal cracker containers at target that are plastic are nice. Just take some goo-gone to remove the sticker and let it sit for a day or two and you have a nice tall...

I have three different Avicularia species, the versicolor, metallica, avic, and the only time the A. avic decides it wants to web is when it is ready to molt. this went on from when i first got it over a year ago until just recently. the versicolor has always had some type of web that it would...
