I have never had any problems with hot glue...... usually the fumes are gone in 20 minutes or so. I agree tho.... I doubt the slings like crawling on dried hot glue. I have another solution for "waterproofing" your sticks..... Use silicone. I use the same stuff as i do for my backdrops (...

I just got a B. smithi baby about a month ago ( 1/4" ). I have been having luck feeding it with super small dubias. They are definately bigger than its abdomen, but about the smallest i can find besides those mini meal worms..( which i have tried, but none of my slings seem to eat them ). I...

ACE is the Place!! :)

Actually, the images i found on google, they were a small magnifying glass that retracted back into their handle.... kinda like a folding pocket knife or something.

Thanks for the info. I just found an image on google. Basically a small magnifying glass. I'm gonna have to get one and try it out. Also, thanks everyone for all of the other helpful info. I learned a lot from this thread.

I don't even know what a jewlers loupe is...... Is it kinda lika a small crocheting needle or something? I'm assuming it's some kind of "hook" or "pick" used for fine detail work????

+1 Not even CLOSE to the same thing. PERLITE is the little white pellets, and vermiculite is kinda a sandy soil....... not sure else how to describe it. I use SMALL amounts of BOTH in my T enclosures..... Perilite if I want more airflow through the substrate to help it dry faster, and...

What does "using a loop" mean?

Good idea.... I just put my bark pieces in the freezer for a couple of days to kill parasites or any other bugs. As for the mold, im not sure if the freezer takes care of that or not. I try to pick out pieces that are not touching the ground, and do not APPEAR to have any mold on them.

It looks to me like a fishing spider...... Dolomedes sp. of some sort???? Not for sure.

I use DAP brand .... ALEX ULTRA 230.... premium indoor / outdoor sealant. The tube says for : Trim, Flashing, Windows, Doors, Siding, Molding.... Brown or black color works the best. When I first tried this, I called the manufacturer, and they told me that it is perfectly safe for all pets...

I just read hobo's link. I wouldn't say that what i said is incorrect. 1st of all i said " from what i understand" NOT.... " This is the exact for sure way to do it". 2ndly.... It appears that what I said is generally true according to the post that hobo put up if you read it all the way...

gmrpnk21..... I TOTALLY agree with your comment about someone coming in through a window! Or just coming in unvited in any way..... Its not worth it to "be nice" and see what weapons they are carrying...... find that out AFTER you know your are safe from them!! NRA ALL THE WAY!!! Also...

When I make my real bark hides, I use the same method as when i make my backdrops. Take your hide, and coat the bottom with brown silicone ( just the part that will be under the substrate ) then cover the silicone with dry ecoearth. Then let it dry and cure for AT LEAST 48 hours( i usually...

From what I understand, you check for a "slit" in between the first set of booklungs. If there is a slit, its female. Also, from what i understand, the first set of booklungs on a male will be closer together than on a female.

This is an interesting thread..... I just have to put in my two cents.... #1 - There are circumstances where you can "exterminate" a human if they come into your house uninvited..... armed burglars.... From what i understand, if an armed burglar breaks into your house, and you fear for your...

I really don't know much about grass spiders...... With my audax though, I made a custom all acrylic enclosure with a front opening door and a custom robc style backdrop. It is 12 x 12 x 12. I think that is around 3 -4 gallons. That is probably considered too large for such a small spider...

I suggest a Phiddipus audax. I caught mine in my kitchen about 7 months ago. I built it a nice terrarium, and it thrives in there. It is gorgeous, roams around all of the time, and is a cricket hunting machine!!!! I THINK you can find them around there...... they're pretty prevalent all over...
