1)How cold does it get at night? 2)As long as the larger container had some air flow coming into it I don't see there being an issue. We just moved back into our house after a renovation and my collection was kept like that (Their containers gently stacked in large plastic boxes) for four days...

My female T. stirmi molted this morning. Can' t wait to do the official measure.

The venom extractors, while long pushed by some, do next to nothing and in some snake bite cases can cause more harm than good. I'll post the link to the study on here when I find it later. Here it is ----> http://www.annemergmed.com/article/S0196-0644(03)00813-8/abstract Other than that IMO a...

I have had issues with adult specimens in the past that had the crap jostled out of them in shipping. One Brachy that I received was upside down, twitching and had a firm bite on the paper towel in the container. It was already plenty moist in there so I took the lid off, placed her (still in...

If they cannot bother to learn the taxonomic name of what they are breeding I don't bother buying from them. There is a difference between a missing/misplaced letter and being completely off the mark. Other than that look into reviews and ask for current pics if you are seriously considering.

Wow, they are screamers! Congratulations!

I want to adopt her immediately.

I drove across country in November a few years ago with all of my pets and seven full grown Ts and some snakes. I put them in individual rubber maid containers with a couple holes and covered everyone with a towel. They survived just fine. The lowest temp that we encountered was 27 F but since a...

Beautiful! Why do I never have this " problem"?

Yes that is indeed an Agkistrodon contortrix and let me just say how jealous I am! We do not have these beauties in AZ. You should be able to find someone who can relocate it for you so that you and your pets can remain bite free.

I was not allowed ANY snakes or inverts growing up. As soon as I got an apartment that was my own place and not shared with a few other people I began to fill it with what I wanted and now that I own a house the collection grows still. It sucks now but, be thankful for what you do have, and look...

My adult female B. boehmei molted today. She is gorgeous!

I keep my Euathlus sp 'Yellow' much like a G. rosea it likes to build little dirt huts around its enclosure. I assume this is a larger juvie/ adult you are looking at?

My A. behlei arrived 7 months ago at 1/4" it is now 1/3"

Pick out mess as it happens (food bits and molts) and it will get new substrate when it moves up to the next size enclosure.

I set my snake tanks up half repti-bark and half coconut granules. It's just fine. They roll through the bark when they shed.

I use hot glue all the time for enclosures. Love it!

Both good choices and welcome! I'm at 5,600 ft and it is DRY out here. My Avics do just fine. I personally keep the soil moist and provide a water dish for the larger ones. I use a small space heater in the winter and keep the temp comfortable not toasty. They are much hardier than given credit...

I don't know if it works with Ts but it's worth a shot, in my feeder insect bin I have a thin layer of petroleum jelly along the top couple of inches of the inside wall to prevent escapes. Even with a lid I have caught a dozen true spiders that go in for a quick meal and can't get out again...

if it is indeed a Phlogius sp. it can be bad news for the kitty according to the venom studies that I have read on crassipes anyway. Regardless, I hope you find the great mystery spider of 2012.
