    Vineagroon egg sac, 2nd sac, no male for 15 months, fertile?

    Thanks Schmiggle, I read over that. Sadly, the sac wasn't fertile. I peeked in on her and one egg was starting to turn brown, and it looked like there was a little bit of fungus happening. The next day I checked and there was definitely fungus, so I disturbed her burrow and she ate a majority of...

    Vineagroon egg sac, 2nd sac, no male for 15 months, fertile?

    Edit: I seriously can't spell, and I can't edit the thread title. =( I've been absent from here for a while, but Vinnie (our female Mastigoproctus giganteus) produced an eggsac not too long after we got her last year in February. Right around the time it was due to hatch, she ate it. I was...

    LPS Crickets

    Ask them what day their shipment comes in. I buy from a LPS (that I actually used to work at) and I buy according to their shipping days. If it's hot, I take a Kritter Keeper and have them put the crickets in that to take home instead of leaving them in the bag, even that short time frame with...

    Help with Dolomedes tenebrosus and her Eggsac!

    I'm still waiting on them to emerge. Catfishrod, how long did yours take, approximately? I'm planning on turning a 10 gallon tank on end, setting the Nano in it, sealing the front up with something just as a back up in case I miss them emerging and come home to the house being infested with...

    Only if you like jumping spiders

    Love your site, and the photos popping up in my FB feed. Is there anyone out there that doesn't like jumpers? If they don't, I don't trust them... no one can resist the fuzzy cuteness.

    Help with Dolomedes tenebrosus and her Eggsac!

    Haha. K. I'm gonna keep an eye on her. I'll probably put her enclosure into a larger tank that I can secure so I can snag a few babies before they disperse. People always make donations to my wildlife fund in that form, as well. Just yesterday a friend posted a photo of a HUGE female Argiope...

    Help with Dolomedes tenebrosus and her Eggsac!

    =/ Hmm. I kinda want to save one or two to raise. What do you think about moving her/removing the sac? Drizzle, they're so cute! How long did it take for them to emerge?

    Help with Dolomedes tenebrosus and her Eggsac!

    SO, the D. tenebrosus I was given was apparently gravid, and now I have a nice egg sac. Problem being she's in an Exoterra Nano, so the babies could waltz right out through the front air vents when they hatch. It's also got a styrofoam background, mushroom ledges, a log, leaf litter and...

    Pregnant camel spider?

    I have no idea, but her face in the first photo is adorable. Like "what are you doing" head-tilt from a dog adorable.

    Help id this spider

    I was basing the estimate off of the assumed size. I kept a MM P. audax for almost 10 months, on infrequent feeding. My MM P. johnsoni lasted about 3 weeks. They're just such cool little spiders and it's so upsetting when they die, I don't keep any adult males at this point because of it. =(

    Ridiculous Spider ?Facts? you have personally been informed of.

    I'm tempted to make that my facebook profile photo to annoy the women in the one group I'm in. They threw a fit over a photo of a jumping spider, I bet that would make their heads explode. I successfully informed 2 people of the whole daddy long legs mess yesterday with a Pholcid AND an...

    Robo Hamsters

    Make sure you have two females if they're housed together. Two males will most likely fight eventually, male and female will produce endless babies. They like to burrow, give them stuff to do that isn't brightly colored plastic. Cocofiber substrate, hay and grasses to eat. Research thier native...

    vivarium

    Depending on what you're going for you can do a false bottom or a drainage layer. Go for hydroton or something similar, which is an expanded clay ball that's super lightweight, activated charcoal mixed in as kind of an impurity remover. I use fiberglass screen overtop of that, then my soil mix...

    Help id this spider

    http://www.spiders.us/species/platycryptus-undatus/ I think. Looks like it might be a male, best bet at that point is to set him free to find a girlfriend. You only get a couple of months out of an adult male.

    Vinegaroon eggs. =(

    So, for the past few days Vinnies eggs have been looking bad. That's the only way I can describe it, they just looked old. It's been over 30 days, and there was no sign of hatching. Her humidity was kept up, and her temp kept fairly consistent. I checked on her yesterday morning and she was...

    Look what I got!

    I've been wanting one, too. When my friend would hold up his hands to show me how big these "wolf spiders" were on his property, I just kinda assumed he was exaggerating. Turns out, he just didn't know what he had. He still claims there are big wolf spiders out there, and that he's going to...
