    Blaberus giganteus Mold

    Mold I'd lose the substrate. I had the most success with mine by placing the male and the female inside one of those 10 gallon blue storage bins that you can find in walmart. With plenty of paper egg shell cartons to provide hiding. They love it dark and don't care about substrate.

    Hapeloma vonwirthi...not?

    So I purchased a t that was sold as an Asian Chevorn "Thai Tiger". She had the coloring that would make her appear to be. She just molted and is now a stunning BLUE. Can anyone direct me to what she could be? Also I notice her legs appear to be curled under, will they straighten out?

    Thereaphosa blondi molting problems for man in arms services

    For one, lose the paper towels. And open up her space, she is stressing in that little space. Put her in some substrate (peat moss) with the proper humidity and temperature. I'd recommend no light, until absolutely necessary.

    Argiope aurantia on my porch

    Honestly it is very much possible. As we all know things in nature tend to adapt and overcome frequently. Think about the "killer bees".

    Okay...so meal worms and crickets. For some odd reason I can't seem to find a hissing roach in any of the stores here.

    Goliath Tarantula Question

    Yeah She seems to be good. She's hiding in her log burrow for now. I fed her a few crickets but she prefers live feeder mice, so back to the store today to get a small mouse for her.

    Goliath Tarantula Question

    So peat moss, no soil and no coconut fiber. I agree about the fiber...it dries out too quickly but really it was the safest thing for them.

    Off subject can you identify that pinktoe? You know I used to have arachnophobia until I got my first T. Condition cured.

    Goliath Tarantula Question

    Thanks..the substrate is actually really moist I mixed coconut fiber and topsoil, then just put coconut fiber on the top for looks, that is why it appears dry. As for the pinktoe's...maybe a bottle top but that beta tank is about the like 5.5"H x 4.5"-5" W and The T still has plenty of room...

    Haplopelma vonwirthi

    Mine refused to burrow...it found a spot under the plant webbed it and stayed there. I have recently redecorated and started a burrow to see if she will burrow...as far as biting goes..Mine jumped at me a while back..I mean, a serious vertical leap!! Thank God for quick reflexes.
