My Smithi has now become the strangest T I currently own. She (bought as a "guaranteed female" ages ago from Swift's) has been climbing the walls around her cage and refusing to eat for a while now, even though her abdomen's rather undersized. She even seems to do this for whole days/nights at a...
I'm planning moving my adult P. canerides into a 10-gallon cage soon and was wondering if THIS cover could be used. I heard stories of Ts losing legs when they get their claws stuck in fine screen mesh lids but this one isn't exactly "fine" like door screen. It has fairly large holes in...
It's been so long since my B. smithi's last molt I can't even remember the last one anymore. She's (bought as a "garaunteed" female back when Swift's Inverts was still in business) far from old, too. Around 3" legspan. Also doesn't have much of an appetite. Seems impartial to Dubia nymphs...
Found this in my house. Took picture before releasing it. Wanted to know what it is/was. Found in Chattanooga, TN.
Also, do these bite? I thought most beetles fed on tree sap, so. . .no? Would it be safe to handle one next time I see it?
Ordinarily I would ask this on a frog/amphibian related forum, but I'm having a spot of trouble getting any direct information.
My adult pyxie put herself under around late February. I was planning to wake her come late March, or early April, depending on when it takes for the weather to get...
Woah I don't even recall reading that in any info about leos. Well I don't see any obvious eye issues or lack of appetite, though he does remain fairly inactive these days even at night. What vitamin mix can I use (anything labeled "multivitamin")?
Wait I do have this leo supplement called...
He appears in otherwise good condition, eating and defecating regularly. I feed him mainly mealworms, dusted with calcium powder (without D3) at every other feeding. Sometimes he sheds just fine on his own, other times he's had problems. If this is indeed symptomatic of some problem, what could...
My leopard gecko is having consistent trouble with sheds the last couple of times he did it. He has an UTH on one side thermostatically controlled to be remain in the high 80s during the day. I recently added a 60W night bulb to keep the cage within the low to mid 70s until spring/summer warms...
Does anyone have experience in breeding lobster roaches? I still have my dubias of course, but I've been thinking about trying lobster roaches ever since I lost my B. lateralis colony to ants one ugly summer. The nyworms website states that lobsters can produce "toxic gases" when they get too...
I'd like to try using some objects from my yard to decor some of my enclosures, but I know there's a good chance they could have micro-pesties on/in them. I've heard a way to get around this is to bake them, but I've never tried anything of the sort before? What temperature can I bake them at...
Reminds me of the time I got MY stirmi. 6" (at the time) female I got in the summer of either '08 or '09, from an Arachnopets ('boards then) dealer, sold as a blondi. Paid $90 for her. But a couple of weeks ago, I learn my supposed blondi was a stirmi. What were the odds?
Could adult Latrodectus eat Dubia roach nymphs? I've got an adult L. mactans I found, and was wondering if my Dubia nymphs weren't too. . .tough for her to eat? Can't find any definitive answers elsewhere.
