Great! Thank you gentlemen! I'll post some picks when I get him/her into its new home!

Can someone give me the low-down on these guys? I can't find anything about them. I'm going to assume they're terrestrial, but what temp/humidity do they need? Are they burrowers? Or if you can direct me to a care sheet? Thanks!

LOL! Yeah, It wasn't until I read this that I realized this is the exact kind of thread I roll my eyes at and avoid on the reptile forums I spend time on. Had a fun one not long ago, a guy posted a picture of a corn snake (which he was very proud of), and asked whether it was a Boa...

The one in #14.

The main body, and first leg segments are black, a very velvety black. Past the first segment, the legs are greyish. No brown at all. The abdomen is also black under those red hairs. As far as cost, the guy I got it from is a tort/turtle breeder/wholesaler who wouldn't give retail price...

Hello Folks I found an ad on Craig's list yesterday for a "Goliath" tarantula. I contacted the guy, and arranged to meet with him. He wasn't a tarantula guy, and got this particular T as part of a trade. He'd been interested in keeping it, until his girlfriend saw it. Long story short, he...

Where do you get such things? And what species exactly are you talking about?

Ok, I'm not asking this to be a jerk, I'm asking because I'm inexperienced: What was the point of baking it then? It doesn't really sound like you accomplished anything. Am I missing something? **EDIT** Sorry, I did miss something. I didn't realize it was compressed coconut fiber you...

Hi there, newbie question: do you really want the top soil bone dry? When the T burrows, as my G. Rosea does, won't the burrow collapse if there isn't some moisture in the soil?

Yes, I do use potting soil. And I did think that it could be something like that, but the soil has been in there for about a month and a half, my T hasn't done any digging on that side of the cage, and the ball was just laying on the surface.

So it really is poop!?:eek: ACK!!! Must be a T version of urates or something.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.............................interesting idea, didn't know that spider poop bounced ;P

This morning when I was refilling the water dish for my G. Rosea I found a small sphere, about 5mm in diameter, next to it (the water dish). It was mostly clear, but the on one side it got opaque, and was tan, or very light brown coloured. It was very hard. I bounced it on the metal of the...

Hi Everyone, I just joined the forum and have a real beginner's question. I have a G. Rosea, that I've had for about two months now (my first T). Until last week, she (I'm pretty sure) has been an eating machine. Just last week, she stopped eating and I noticed that she appears to be...

Hi There Hi Everyone, I'm new to the hobby, but decided to join to take better care of the T I currently have. And hopefully get some good advice on what to get next! I currently live in Phoenix, AZ, where I'm a realtor.
