    Lasiodora parahybana

    That's not abnormal. Take the crickets out and let your sling get acclimated with it's new enclosure. Try again in about 5 days to a week. It can take a T some time to get used to it's new home; or if it is in pre-molt, it won't eat. I would definitely take the crickets out just in case your LP...

    New york city tarantula laws

    Yeah I agree, the language is ambiguous. With regard to pet stores, however, they constitute an exception. The amendment to the code was adopted in 2006 thus any licensed pet store in operation at the time of adoption of the amendment can continue to sell certain "wild animals" given certain...

    Few questions about G. rosea

    Once every two weeks is fine; even though you'll learn G. roseas can be stubborn eaters as they go on fasts from time to time. If you have access to dubia roaches, I'd go that route. They're meatier, don't bite, don't smell as rancid as crickets, and do not carry nematodes. If your rosea doesn't...

    1/4" A. Genic sling, No clue how to care for. Help!!!

    You'll be fine. The more you worry, the more you'll check on them, thus the more you'll stress them out. Give them a nice, comfortable place to live, let them adjust, and they'll do fine. They're awesome Ts. You got a good freebie.

    1/4" A. Genic sling, No clue how to care for. Help!!!

    ^ this guy. It really isn't that hard, unless it's an Avic. A. geniculata are fairly hardy. For taller vials, just add more substrate.

    1/4" A. Genic sling, No clue how to care for. Help!!!

    The pill vials with ventilation are perfect. They don't need a lot of room. The more surface area you give a sling, the more room it has to hurt itself, and it's harder for them to find their prey in comparatively large containers. Keep it simple and small while they're young. The fogger and fan...
