I just found the largest preying mantis that I've ever seen clinging to the side of a building, stasis mode thanks to the cold, caught, chilling in a pill bottle right now until I can get home and put her in a deli cup. I'm in Canada btw

So hypothetically if I got three, and they bred, some of the plings would be able to stay? Or would the males cannibalize?

Ok, I'm planning on starting an emperor scorp colony, in a 25 gallon long tank, my only question so far is how many could comfortably live together, with plenty of hides, 2, or 3?

Not a death curl, more a "if I can't see you you can't see me" type curl. ---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ---------- Plus just youtubed it, and the movement is similar in some ways, but completely opposite in others. She is extremely sluggish, more so...

Ok, my G. Pulchripes is a year old ish. It just molted and since two molts ago has been acting sluggish, curled up and away from everything, seems to avoid prey items. Being concerned I examined it and noticed her movement seems clumsy, rather uncoordinated. So heres my pondering What's up...

In the TKG (hail the tarantula bible) it stated that in recorded historythere have been probably 3 tarantula related deaths, two were small children in India, small child and potent venom is not a good mix, an the third was a cowboy in the states, but that case has been theorized to have been a...

Ok, I'm planning on getting a couple emp's, and keeping them communally, but I need a few tips in the right direction. 1. What size ratio should I use? As in one scorp, ten gallon, two scorps 20 gallon etc? Or is there a size escalation? 2. Will 2 of the same sex become aggressive? And or...

I'm relocating them to my office type room, so that I can keep the door closed almost constantly, but I'm also gonna try a few suggestions on here like putting the smaller ones into a giant container to hold all their individual containers.

Hey man been there done that! Boys get mad, men get even. My advice, think of something diabolical that is symbolic of how much your ex hurt you, get payback, get closure, and move on.

Ok, other than the obvious, which I'm in the process of, I'm thinking people got confused by my question, how do I get the cat to leave them alone, other than the obvious. @tym hollerup, thx for making this place less hospitable. Why not head bak to 4chan for your trolling pleasure.

Ok; my cat, a 3 month old kitten, has a true fascination with my spiders, I even put them on the top shelf in a bedroom closet, and she climbs the door by the hinges, she has no fear of a squirt bottle, so I can't train her that way. Can anyone help me out? She knock over two deli containers...

The term instar related to how many times the spider has molted since hatching, so 1st instar 2nd instar etc. Spiderling (sling) is usually the term given to a spider over the first few molts, but not yet past being a baby. (usually still in 1/10 or 2/10 it's adult size. Juvie would related to...

Two further questions, do any scorps posses urticating hairs? (desert hairy scorpion) and secondly, do scorps molt in one peice or several?

Go to YouTube and look up "man stung multiple times by scorpion" this bonehead definantly should not breed or the world is doomed

Wow, reminds me of my fiancé, she hates anything too complex looking, thus pedes an t's were public enemy number one. After six months of wearing her down, I wa finally allowed (probably out of annoyance lol) to get a T. Since then the collection has grown to 4, with a scorp in the works, and a...

Reconsidered actually, the new first pick is H. Arizonisis, less bulky and intimidating, thus the missus is more approving, plus low venom potentcy, US species. Suffice it to say tho, I still have plenty of research to do

Random thought bubble, scorps do not like sunlight, according to a LOT of online caresheets, but some species fluoresce under blacklight, I'm curious as to if black light is within the visual range of scorps, and if it would bother them under a scenario like turning on a black light at night so...

Avics are notorious for shoot poop, and that could be the missing cricket, or a cricket from before shipping. Who knows, but as far as eating, you'll probably just notice that if you throw a cricket in, say 10 at night, it'll chirp for a bit then the chirping will ominously stop. Babababum...

Personal fav has to be minatrix, i love the pattern on the abdomen.

A good beginner is G. Pulchripes, gets decently sized when full grown, doesn't seem to have a flicking fetish, non medically significant venom, but can be a little skittish when young. As several others have recommended, read up, grab yourself a copy of the TKG. (tarantula keepers guide) it's...
