    Favorite T to feed?

    Any of my Pamphos. They are a roaches worst nightmare. My favorite atm are my Santo Domingo Goliaths. Vicious little spiderlings. lol

    Breeding locusts

    Didn't realize you were in EU where you can go those as feeders. We can't get those over here on this side of a pond but I'd love to have a large feeder like that for my 8 legged monsters. lol

    Red runners not hatching?

    It doesn't take long for these to reproduce. Once they get going they explode. lol I don't even use a heat mat and I've got damn near plague populations. lol

    Sources for 2 and 3 gallon jars?

    I don't like the UTZ Cheeseball jars because they don't have a screw on lid. It's a flip off plastic top like on a pringles can. I like Snyder's Pretzel jars or something similar like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005U4RFUY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope this helps.

    My Pterinopelma Sazimai/Sazima's Tarantula

    These are on my wish list for 2015. Gorgeous T but I'm a sucker for blue tarantulas. lol

    different xenesthis sp

    From what I understand these are notoriously hard to breed. Tarantulas that are pricey often are either new to the hobby, have very small egg sacs/hard to breed or come from area that has limited exportation. These have been on the wish for a long time but have reached unicorn status for me...

    a. hentzi breeding question

    There are certain things you could do such as putting the male in a cooler room and feeding him less and doing the opposite for the female but I think it would be easier just to find a mature female because they can be had for as little as $50. In my experience mm aphonopelmas live a long...

    Rehousing a pet hole

    Doesn't that arboreal have a side screen vent? If you could modify that, then it would be OK but I think it would just be easier to use a 5 gallon on a appropiate size sterlite you could just fill with substrate.

    NEVER chuck your T out or freeze them

    Do you put your Ts in the freezer to preserve them or to put them down humanely? Youu have one tough lucky spider.

    Fruit flies - getting rid of

    Despite being an 8 year old thread, if you were going to go the carnivorous plant route, a sundew would be far more efficient then a venus fly trap. Fruit flies are too tiny to set off the venus and if they did, they would just crawl right out.

    Good looking awesome chilobrachys ?? Good suggestions

    If you are going to get a Chilobrachys, you've got get a C. fimbriatus. These are the king of Chilos in the hobby and by far the prettiest one. ;)

    Rehousing a pet hole

    I like something that will let them have at least twice their size in burrowing depth. E. uatuman females are mature at 4 inches and their care is identical to other Ephebopus species. I like damp plain organic no extra frills potting soil or peat moss mixed with sphagnum moss and you are set.

    Even better in person!

    I see some blue legs sticking out of the foot of her entrance from time to time but have yet to catch her out completely in ages. I have 3 P. muticus that I see every day from sling to adult. I don't consider them true pet holes just because they are curious to investigate disturbances at the...

    Popularity contest!

    I don't think so man. Tarantulas have been consumed there far longer then tarantula keeping as a hobby. I'm thinking centuries. Haplos aren't going anywhere.

    Yeah a lot of impulse buys on Cobalts without proper research on their husbandry without a doubt leads to their death or maybe people can just think they can give it a hide so they CAN see it. Who knows but yeah those vids piss me off. The majority of Haplos are from Thailand and Cambodia...
