My most reliable camera is on my phone and this is the clearest shot I got out of literally fifty or so attempts, I have shaky hands. But can anyone give a guess on species or family?
Terrible climber and feigns death readily.
I find Dysdera EVERYWHERE around my house in the summer.
Just going on with my life, I'll find one at least once a week in the summer, I'd imagine I could find even more if I look for them.
I can't give a dead roach instead? I don't think I'd give a mouse to anything other than my snakes, and maybe a freshly molted tarantula to fatten them back up.
So cucumber and apple, cool. Any kind of apple or does it matter?
How do you guys get your roaches out for the feedings? I tried putting in a couple paper towel rolls, but they only retreat to those if I shake them off the egg crates. I try just smacking the egg flat onto a cup to separate the sizes needed, but I find that unnecessarily stressful to any...
So I most typically feed my roaches oranges, though sometimes greens and other vegetables safe for my skink.
But I always gave a variety of oranges, today I gave them blood oranges.(Usually navel.) Whenever I read "Give them oranges." it never explained WHICH, so I didn't think it mattered...
They don't smell anymore since I've been buying actual roach chow. Maybe just my imagination?
I don't know, I've heard bee pollen is pretty good protein. There's some kind of flour(Maybe soy flour?) with enhanced protein.
I hope I didn't miss anything in the search function. Ever option I found had some sort of meat ingredient
But roach chow to BUY is way too expensive for me, anywhere I order. After shipping and everything, prices are between 7-15 dollars a pound. And I'm not going to have ten pounds laying...
Until I get that other DIY cage set up, I'm putting him in a five gallon that has a slide-on lid, and it locks into place. As long as they can't chew through metal screen, I think I'll be okay.
I got one Feb 9th at a local reptile expo. She/He was fine until I rehomed it in a bigger cage, considering what I've researched they were tropical and require approx 70% humidity
So I didn't think moist substrate would be a problem, but she seems to avoid the substrate I put her on. (She was...
See, I used Eco-Earth, packed it down tight, but it still caves in on my vinegaroon. (I forgot she's the only one NOT on sphagnum.) She still gets out fine, she's a flippin' bullldozer Tarantulas and centipedes aren't really bulldozers.
I need it for
G. Pulchripes.
L. Parahybana.
S. Subspinipes.
M. giganteus
Since they all are tropical or at least sub-tropical, I'm wondering what substrate to use. (They're currently on Sphagnum Moss.)
Maybe add a small amount of pure clay?
They're all so eager to dig.
Thank you, you two! I was even thinking of using a coat hanger's hook and using it in the same way as snake hooks. I managed to ease him into the plastic jar.
Also what do you keep your adults in? I'm sure he'll outgrow this jar fairly soon. I hear standard ten gallons, but wouldn't that be too...
