    Found REAAAALLLLYYYYY small spider at work. (Denver Colorado.)

    Nope, no web, it was hanging from the ceiling by a single strand. I'd say the legspan is at max 3mm.

    Found REAAAALLLLYYYYY small spider at work. (Denver Colorado.)

    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.

    Another "Please ID" Thread

    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.

    Millipede snacks?

    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?

    Millipede snacks?

    I know their diets consist of rotting leaves and wood. But is there any fresh produce I could occasionally offer?

    Lateralis round up

    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...

    Oranges and roaches

    By peel, I assume you mean the skin? I completely remove that, so it's literally just the juicy, inner flesh I give them.

    Oranges and roaches

    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...

    Roach chow recipes

    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.

    Peruphasma schultei

    I wish Phasmids were legal here in Colorado. (Or at least I hear they're illegal.)

    Roach chow recipes

    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...

    Scolopendra Subspinipes rehousing.

    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.

    Some guy offering me Platycerus virecens

    Any of you know the care for these things? He says he just gives them wood and they're good to go.

    L Parahybana question.

    A legspan of half an inch, (Just an estimate, it covered half the end segment of my index finger.) and I put it in one of those 32 oz. deli cups.

    L Parahybana question.

    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...

    Need burrow-supporting substrate, tips please

    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.

    Need burrow-supporting substrate, tips please

    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.

    Scolopendra Subspinipes rehousing.

    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...
