SCIENTIFIC NAME OF THE TARANTULA/S: Holothele incei ACTIVITY SEEN ON VIDEO: Feeding FILENAME: DSCF2537.avi FILE SIZE IN KILOBYTES: 6200 LINK TO OWNERS MAIN PAGE: N/A DIRECT LINK TO VIDEO: http://media.putfile.com/DSCF2537 This is my H. incei feeding on a Blatta lateralis roach.

Glad you got him eating frogs...there are a few companies out there that do sell feeder frogs (mainly green trees) and maybe some toads. And I believe feeder anoles will do if you're in a pinch. Eastern hogs are cool snakes, but if you still want a hognose but prefer one that eats mice, westerns...

I have an invention for you: it helps you to get over yourself so you can switch over to feeding f/t. Anybody who insists on feeding live is just in it for their own entertainment. Who cares if the f/t prey item smells? The animal is in your care, and it is your responsibility to see to it that...

First of all, as you stated, eastern hognoses feed on native anurans. Secondly, switching them over to mice can actually do more harn than good. Their bodies are not designed to metabolize mammalian prey, and this can cause liver and kidney problems in the long run. Unfortunately, people are...

Eper-ani is right...dwarf monitors may cost more, but they are much more affordable to maintain in the long run. As a general rule, the cheaper a monitor is, the more expensive it will be as it grows, and vice versa. It's a lot easier to house a 2-3 foot monitor than it is to house a 6 footer.

Great-looking dog. I love the great danes.

They don't actually drink milk, much less from the cow's "mammals". As the myth goes, milksnakes were believed to be stealing milk from cows by sucking the milk. On a low milk production year, farmers would blame it on the milksnakes because they were always seen hanging around the barns. The...

P. curtus breitensteni are the Borneo short-tails. The black bloods are P. curtus curtus, and the red bloods are P. curtus brongersmai. I found my issue, it's January 2003. Good luck finding it. :)

Very nice!

I'm with David on that. A BCI is a great snake, and would be the best out of the three species on your list. However, if you do the research and make the necessary preparations, I don't see why you can't aim for any of the three species mentioned. Robyn Markland did a great article on bloods in...

Check out www.dendroboard.com, they have a list of links to different breeders...some might ship to Canada or may actually be located there. Also, look around in the forums, I'm sure there are Canadian members who have produced darts.

Termites are a good prey item, but not as commonly available as fruit flies and crickets. I've thought about feeding B. dubia roach nymphs, as those are roughly the size of D. hydei. I have only fed my frogs fruit flies, both D. melanogaster and D. hydei, and they've done very well with that...

Hmm... I wonder who keeps dart frogs around here. ;)

I already answered that question. See the bold part below...

I totally agree. It's just too bad they're not in the majority.

It's pretty easy to remember our venomous species native to Colorado. Our only venomous snakes are 3 different species/subspecies of rattlers. So if it doesn't have a rattle at the end of it's tail, you're good to go. :) The same seems to be true for El Paso, Texas, from what I can find. I...

Soil? You know what...I'm not even going to touch that one.

Why? Are your wife and child known to film themselves as they try feeding snakes on their bellies? ;)

Ahh, okay...he seems to be sleeping in those pics, and I figured that was the case because they wouldn't normally sit calmly in your hands. Very nice acquistion though. Smaller agamids are interesting to watch. Does this one have blue markings on the sides of the belly?

Looks like an Eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus). That guy you have there looks unnaturally sluggish for this species. Due to having quite a number of predators, this species is rather skittish and fast. Perhaps it's sick, cold, or just sleepy if the pic was taken at night. Ranging...
