Hey guys! For some reason, there have been tons of fleas inside of my house this year! Of course, the reason for this is because I have some cats, but I seriously have never had such a terrible flea infestation. I've been using Frontline on the cats a few times, but they've began biting...

That probably is the culprit, thanks!

Oh, I do leave her alone as much as possible. She eats every week or so, I'm just pretty sure she's upset about something. :(

I went on vacation late in December, and had some friends watch over all of our animals (four cats, one Grammostola rosea). When I returned on the third of January, the rosea was acting very skittish. Before, she wouldn't move unless I accidentally touched her or something. Now, she runs a...

They look more like springtails than the white bubble body mites I've seen pictures of, but no antenna. They have oval bodies.

I have noticed these small things in my G. rosea's tank. This is the first time I've seen them; it was around noon and they were close to the water dish. These little dudes are one millimeter in length and three fourths in girth, are gray with pinkish undertones, and move very, very quickly...

Please don't use the sponge. The gel will just take up space, and sponges/cotton balls are frowned upon because they make excellent breeding places for germs. Nobody wants that. If you're afraid that a cricket will drown in the dish (tarantulas will not do so in shallow water) you can place a...

I see! I will now be creeping around their cage with a camera, and thank everyone for their help.

So it's mature, you say? In that case, I'll take the lack of tibial hooks as a sign of her feminine nature. The pet store that I bought her from told me that they were captive bred, but now I see that that's most likely not the case. Pity. They do grow some more though, correct? She's a healthy...

I got a G. rosea not too long ago, and due to a combination of suck and lack of Googling skills can't for the life of me determine its approximate age. Currently, he's (I don't actually know the gender) around 3.5". Would anyone tell (or point me in the direction of a thread with) the age of an...

I agree with the majority here. Many times a tarantula's bite is compared with that of a bee or other flying miscreant, and aside from aching for a while is harmless. Of course, if the person bit experiences difficulties breathing or other signs of an allergic reaction, they should treat it...

Most excellent. My peat will now be clean.

It has been oftentimes mentioned that peat moss could be sanitized by popping it into the oven. My question to you is just how long do you bake (or nuke) your substrate, and at what temperature? Thank you very muchly.

Thanks everyone, you've been most helpful.

Thanks, I've managed to find one :D

Hello all, I seem to be incapable of finding a good store that sells tarantulas. So, the internet! I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me to a site that sells G. roseas while being located around Kentucky/Indiana/Ohio/West Virginia/Pennsylvania/Tennessee etc. Thank you very muchly. :)
