Yep, definitely a yellow sac spider. They have a pretty nasty bite, too. The weird thing about them is they are madly attracted to the smell of gasoline (just a brain dropping for you)

Hi guys, It's been a super long time since I have posted on the boards, but I have a problem that I can't seem to get a straight answer and I hope you guys can help. I started collecting jumping spiders last summer and this summer I have managed to round up a gravid P. audax and P. undatus...

I just visited your site, it says you have nothing to sell, made me sad.

usually, in my own personal experience, it's baby crickets. I wouldn't bet the bank on that, though.

cocofiber, dampened to the point where it can hold shape when squeezed (and the babies are quite the tunnelers!) and I have a small heating mat on the left outside wall of the tank and a large heating mat on the back left outside of the tank as to simulate the warm/cool side temp gradient I...

Is there a specific reason? No, other than space and I wanted to keep the family unit together. The humidity in the tank is 85% and I do have a hot side/cold side setup where there is a temperature gradient. the warmer side usually stays between 80 and 87 degrees. The babies and mom are all...

Hello guys and gals, My female emp had her brood about two months ago. There were 15 babies in all. One died before the first molt, thought it was in heavy premolt at the time of death. The rest (with the exception of two at the moment) have gone on to be 4i at this point. Here is my...

Yes, unfortunately, I agree, it sounds like your scorpion is nearing the end of its life. Lack of appetite and/or being lethargic are signs as well. I recently lost a male Emp that was completely fine one day, fed it a spider and he was all over it and ate like no ones business and within ten...

Exactly right. They are common during the summer months here in PA also. I actually caught one two summers ago while I was cutting my lawn. Big brown female. I kept her for about 6-7 months before she passed. Very cool spiders.

Does anyone know if they can be kept as pets? I found quite a few big boys when i was doing yard work today and they are quite striking and very interesting. The easy supply just got me wondering.

I haven't bought a T from Petco but I have bought all my Emperor Scorpions from there, as well as a few fish for my kids. The scorpions had a 15 day return policy, I can't imagine the tarantula would be any different. I am surprised you said you found an avic there, I have never known a big...

Hello. I live in Beaver County, PA (about 20 miles outside Pittsburgh) and I got my G. rosea from a local, yet privately owned and operated pet store in Cranberry Twp (Burton's Total Pet). The owners seemed to have shown great care for her and had all kinds of records of feedings and such that...

excellent! And I live in Pittsburgh, it's only 30F outside right and I live in a drafty old house, so, yeah, it gets a bit nippy in here, especially at night. Wow, I am glad I used common sense and did a few basic researches before getting her. Thanks, xhexdx and Chris. BTW, I have no idea...

I am very versed in scorpions, however, I just bought my second tarantula Thursday night (my first was a A. Hentzi sling from Ken the Bug Guy which my wife accidentally killed shortly after the purchase), this one is a gorgeous G. Rosea from a local pet store. The store was privately owned (not...

I have used superworms a couple times as feeders ONLY when crickets were in short supply at local pet stores and what I do when I have a runner is this....the worm eventually finds a comfy quiet spot in the soil and pupates, then it emerges as a beetle, which, in my experience, is a great morsel...

Alright. My female died just under a month ago and they shared a tank together so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something going around. I just got home from work and he is acting fine. Now on Sunday he did eat a HUGE moth, so he may have just been filling in the spot left from...

My male emperor, who is normally a voracious eater, aggressively caught a cricket last night, and as is his usual behavior, started to eat it like someone was going to steal it. Well I always check on my pets while the are eating to make sure things are okay and I noticed he had stopped eating...

I put her down myself. I wasnt going to watch her suffer. I am looking to donating her to Korni for his Anatomy papers project as soon as I figure out how to ship her corpse overseas. I want her to go towards something good. RIP Ursala. SG77

It's kind of what I am thinking, too. This sucks! I hope, if that's the case, she goes quickly.

Hey guys. My female Emp started acting lethargic about three days ago, but she was never the most active thing anyway, so it didnt really bother me. But this morning I noticed her tail was kinda "curly q-ed" like a pigs (sorry no pic) and I have researched and read enough on these forums to...
