Sitting at the mouth of his web.

I can't remember where I read it. Let me see if I can find it again. ---------- Post added 07-20-2012 at 08:12 PM ---------- I can't find it. But if I ever stumble across it again I'll make sure to post a link in this thread.

Thanks for the info on what kind of mites they might be. I already got rid of the soil and bought coconut fiber the next day. I don't want to risk introducing a harmful mite to my inverts' cages. But interesting stuff, thanks.

I got my first T from a flea market when I was 12 or 13. It was an A. avic, and all I knew about it at the time was that it was pretty, it was a spider, and I wanted it. Haha. After getting home I looked up care sheets for it, but didn't realize how important it was to make sure all the...

Recently I bought organic potting soil from a gardening store that would have been used in my millipedes' and H. lividum's enclosures. Typically I'd buy coconut fiber but at the time the pet store was closed. I prepared a new enclosure for my Thai Rainbows and was about to transfer them when I...

I've read that they can reach maturity in 10 months.

I found her in South Carolina.

Mine is from the south, but she has a darker body and brighter red than most pictures of N. americanus that I see. Do the two species grow to different sizes? I've read that N. americanus only grow to 4", but my girl is 1/8" away from 5". I actually have some pictures of her in my gallery...

How can you tell the difference between americanus and annularis? I've always thought my girl was americanus because I've never heard of annularis.

Congrats on those guys. Thanks for sharing the pic.

So I house my N. americanus with my rollie pollie colony and today I checked to see if the pollies were breeding. They're breeding alright, I found a bunch of teeny tiny baby pollies, but I also found what appear to be baby millipedes. The strange thing is I've had my N. americanus for around...

I don't know how much you know already, so sorry if I state information that you already know. In addition to what upwith inverts! said, rose hairs are terrestrial so they shouldn't be climbing. If they are climing, a lot the time the reason is because either they don't like the substrate...

Has anyone used slugs as feeders? Would you recommend it? Can I feed slugs to leopard geckos too? I've heard that turtles like slugs and snails, wouldn't the slime make it somewhat difficult for them to eat?

Oh I didn't know that. Woops. I'll go get some tomorrow and let it grow in there. Does it ablsolutely have to be by the sun for the algae to grow? Did you ever have to change the water or will it be okay with a really good filter?

Well, while you guys were responding, I remembered that theres a stream across the road from where I live. Its got nice clear water and plenty of life so I figured it would be okay to use. I just had to remove the algae. The tadpoles are acclimating to the water right now. Thanks for the...

I wasn't expecting to come home today with bullfrog tadpoles, but I did, and every website I've read on their care warns not to put them in tap water without first dechlorinating it. The quickest way I've read about is to leave the tapwater out by the sun for a day, the tadpoles are in a betta...

We also caught a couple of those while we were there. ^.^

Aw man. I was hoping it would stay this way and live for another year or two at least. Thanks for the information guys, I'm going to keep it for now, and then return it to where it was found once it reaches its final stage of life. If nothing else at least I'll gain some knowledege about this...

Found under a rock next to Winooski River in Vermont. It's about 2.5" long. Can anyone tell me what this is? How to care for it?

Well there is something you could try doing to save them, but it will be tedious work, and its up to you if you feel like its worth it or if you'd rather just buy new mealworms. It involves taking every single beetle, larva, and pupa out one at a time and inspecting them. Let me know if you...
