    55 Gallon Aquarium Suggestions

    I have a juvenile Scolopendra subspinipes, ~3" long and he usually stay out of his burrow and runs around, it's fascinating. I'm really like the C. gracilis, especially the ones from Ken, they have like a brownish gray look to them. I'll have to compare prices with the Tailless Whips.

    55 Gallon Aquarium Suggestions

    Yea I just went to see what normal housing is for a T. blondi is and a 55 is a bit too much. I love communal setups, I've never heard of whip scorpions as being communal, that's wicked awesome, definitely gonna look into that more, thanks!

    55 Gallon Aquarium Suggestions

    So, I'll be getting a 55 Gallon aquarium in the upcoming weeks and I'm a bit torn between what should be housed in such a spacious environment. The dimensions are 48x13x21 inches. So I've been wanting a T. blondi, so this would be pretty nice for one, but a giant centipede would also be nice...

    Strange Beetles/Possible Fungus?

    Maybe, but that doesn't explain how it is all over her body. Although, when I look in my roach container, there's a bit of fungus in there from some of the leftover food they haven't so maybe giving her roaches carried some over, but I still don't know why it is growing on her. I fed her earlier...

    Strange Beetles/Possible Fungus?

    I have never fed her mealworms ever. She's 6" in leg span so i feed her dubias that are 1-2" long. I've had mealworms before and those darklings beetles are atleast 3x bigger than the beetles seen in the pictures, plus they don't have flabellate antennea.

    Strange Beetles/Possible Fungus?

    So the past few weeks I've noticed these small yellow patches in my female G. rosea's cage. It's an arid cage so I usually leave the boluses in there since there's very little moisture, but I'm puzzled as to what these little patches/balls are. I doubt they are mold since it is so dry in there...

    Classroom Alternative for Jumping Scent Demons (aka Crickets)

    I stopped using crickets altogether a long time ago. I use dubias primarily, and I've been experimenting with mealworms a bit as well. I recently bought 1000 small (1/4"-1/2") dubias for $46 since most of my Ts are small slings. I've used maybe 100 in the past month with feeding my frogs too. I...

    what would you guys do?

    You hide it??? I tell so many people every day and yes, at first they freak out an ask the same questions like "How do you sleep at night?? Are they poisonous?? (Which I then say no, they're venomous)" but then they start to get really interested and we end up having some great discussions, and...

    So I made an application...

    Awesome app, I ended up downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and it worked great. One bug though is that when I put in my P. formosa info and hit save it didn't actually save, but not a big deal. Also maybe add some more temperaments like defensive, skittish, timid, etc.

    So I made an application...

    Is it on the market so I can download it through there? I can't seem to find it, but I'll try the link on my phone, this is awesome I never thought about these apps lol :P

    Humidity.

    That makes sense. If you don't have good ventilation peat moss will mold up very easily. Again,I'd suggest drilling holes in the sides to allow more ventilation to come through, or change the substrate. Peat moss works well in mixtures such as 50/50 peat/vermiculite (non-industrial), 50/50...

    ARGH! you guys are not helping...

    The only problem for you with emps is that they can be extremely inactive as adults. H. arizonensis and spadix are very active and cant climb glass, however if there is a ledge they can just barely reach, they might be able to pull themselves up. I used to keep a heat lamp on my H. arizonensis...

    Helping or Hindering?

    Heat lamps use infrared bub, they can't see the red light that we see, as they can't see infrared rays. But yes it can be dangerous, room heaters are better.

    Humidity.

    What substrate are you using that molds up every time you mist the cage? Sounds like bad substrate to me, use eco-earth, and if you are then something's not right. All of my cages are kept fairly damp depending on the species, and the only time I ever get slight mold is whenever the natural bark...

    Grammostola pulchripes attitude change not eating like he use to

    Don't quote me on this, but estimates for that species are 5 years for males and 20-25+ years for females. How large is he, what substrate have you provided, what's the humidity and condition of the substrate? These factors could help determine a problem with the setup and find a possible...

    Dumb question but can your tarantula explode from eating too much?

    Also, since it is nearing the colder times of the year, especially here in temperate Pennsyvlania, roseas experience a mild cold season in the Atacama, during which time they basically act like bears where they'll grab as much food as they can to store up for the colder periods and store it and...

    Some Emp ? s

    Yes I'm aware of that a year after the time of this all, but at that time I was not. It seems that they did in fact start the ritual but didn't complete it. The only puzzling thing is Alina's behavior during April, which gave some strong evidence of being gravid. It's quite a confusing sequence...

    SUBSTRATE kind of urgent

    Cedar pine contains a natural pesticide in the wood so you should never ever use it as a substrate. Next time this ever happens though, and if it's just until tomorrow morning, you can just put them in a small plastic container with a little water sprayed in there. I'm sure they'd be fine in a...

    Some Emp ? s

    Well, even though I posted this a while ago, I think I'll summarize what has happened with these two since and maybe clarify some things from the original post. When I said she had babies at the store that I had bought her at, she had given birth I'd say about a month or two prior to my...
