    People Kill Record Mako for no Reason

    This makes me so mad! Humans can be such nasty, entitled jerk-faces.

    getting a ball python tomorrow, New to snakes and need some advice

    We recently got a ball python from the reptile expo in Renton. According to the seller, he was fed live. I was concerned, but my love for the snake won out. I bought him and a bag of frozen medium rats. After the initial settling in period, I attempted to feed him. I made the rat dance and got...

    Sad

    Sad. :-( I've accidentally run over a few garter snakes out on the bike trail and it always makes me feel like the biggest jerk ever.

    Buying Rodents in Bulk?

    We get our stash from Glacier Rodents at the expos. 100 pinkies for our 2 corn snakes were $31 (my husband's corn eats 3 pinkies a week, my corn eats 2). 10 medium rats were $30 for our newly acquired ball python.

    Ball Python, Arizona Kingsnake or Western Hognose?

    ^ Were you at the Renton, WA expo yesterday, LordRaiden? Oh, my god, you have so hit the nail on the head. It's hardly even about keeping the snakes anymore, just about breeding (and breeding and breeding and inbreeding...) to get a morph you can sell for thousands. The only normals for sale...

    Scariest Moment With An Agressive Tarantula

    My G. rosea rushed me when I opened her enclosure to refill her water dish. I squealed, well, like a girl and prepared to defend myself with the enclosure lid. My rosie is obviously unhinged.

    Anticlimactic P. cam

    He (or she) has begun building an elaborate lair... I suspect the battle lines are being drawn. I love this tarantula already!

    Anticlimactic P. cam

    I've been contemplating going Old World and getting a poeci. I wasn't sure about jumping right in, however, so I decided to get a P. cam or irminia (basically whichever I came across first). I bought a P. cam yesterday and set up its new enclosure today. I re-housed while my husband was out...

    Newbie!

    Hi, Cassie! Welcome to the hobby. I'm also going to recommend a B. smithi. My juvie is a bit of a hair kicker, but nothing unmanageable. Juvies are easy to care for, and SO COOL to watch molt & grow. S/he's a champion eater as well. G. rosea's are also great starter tarantulas, but can be...

    Ineed help picking out my 3rd T

    GBB. Definitely one of my favorites. I would've said A. versi, but they seem to be antisocial. My husband has a juvie and she is in her tube web 95% of the time. I have an adult and she is rarely out, either. (I still love 'em, though.) Or you can't go wrong with a Brachy.

    New A. avicularia!

    I missed that Avic -- or someone bought it. I scored an A. metallica at the last expo I went to. She was generically labeled as a "Pink Toe Tarantula," only when I got her outside in better light I noticed she had white hairs. It's kinda disappointing that critters offered at the Northwest...

    New A. avicularia!

    Reptosphere rocks! I got an A. avic from the LLL Reptile booth and later discovered their stock is likely not CB. OOPS.
