    We NEED more P.Metallica in the hobby!!! Who's with me?

    well, baby's got butt so I am hoping it will sex out to be a female -- not that I will breed, I just like longevity. as for blue, I have the P. metalica as well as A.versi,avic, and GBB so I think I have blue covered. What sold me on the metalica was the striking yellow contrast. And well, I...

    A little discussion about Psalmopoeus spp. temperaments / behaviors

    Well, since mine does like to stay out of site I might be able to get away with a top access -- I really would rather do side though. I am such a wimp.:o

    A little discussion about Psalmopoeus spp. temperaments / behaviors

    Actually I went to amazon and couldn't find a crystal clear container like you had mentioned and being cheap -- bills to pay -- I thought I would use something already on hand. The end goal is to split an 18" high exoterra in half to house two aboreals -- one on each side. Of course that can't...

    A little discussion about Psalmopoeus spp. temperaments / behaviors

    I do have a tall pretzel tub I could use if I can get the label off -- it's an esthetic thing. Curious though, would it be better for top or side access for aboreals? Esp. for those wicked fast ones?

    A little discussion about Psalmopoeus spp. temperaments / behaviors

    Only one Psalmopoeus here, cambridgei. Came in as a .75" sling. Lives in a tall deli cup with coco bedding and fake plant. Immediately burrowed, has a nice underground cave going. Rarely see it out except occasionally at night about the time it is getting hungry. It is now at about 2.75...

    tough fork in the path

    After this weekend at the Wasatch Reptile Show in SLC, I found these guys attitudes run the gambit. I was handling an adult, was really docile, it was not for sale because it was an educational booth. I had read that the Emp's are a more docile spc and the venom mild -- although for me, I...

    Using boiling water for euthanization...?

    Not necessarily spf to inverts but a look at JAALAS, v. 51, no. 3, May 2012 has some interesting insights into just how successful/unsuccessful euthanasia methods are. Needless to say…….it sux all the way around………. And no, I didn’t read the orig link and have no comment to offer on the ethics...

    Things that you think only your Tarantula does

    Okay, I am amused. I determined that some of my T's we're big enough for water dishes -- small tissue cell dishes. The A. Versi, G. Pulchra are not yet interested. The versi just molted and the pulchra is walled up, I assume currently molting. My LP and Klugi appear possive. The klugi slapped...

    Decorative glass lanterns - Possible arboreal enclosure?

    Nice pic and nice choice of container. I dropped a whopping 10-spot on one -- will be my 1st real decorative project. I am in the process of figuring out how to do it. The thought is to house an A. versi in it. For now, I have been sidelined by my klugi beastie that kicked hairs in my eye...
