https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmOqhtpmmJQ Details: I live in Perth, Western Australia They are less than a millimetre across, orange in colour and I noticed them just today. There has been an egg hatch somewhere but I can't find the source because they've scattered everywhere and I...

Is it possible to create a device that can scan a tarantula to determine it's sex.(I don't know how, maybe detecting the testosterone levels in it or something??) If it is, then a person could easily determine whether a new-born sling is a male or a female.

How? this is an native australian species. Are you sure you're not talking about other australian genus such as selenotypus?

I understand your viewpoint, but I beg to differ. There are currently no breeding projects in India for this species, because us Indians don't give a damn about spiders(which is a shame) Now if all P. metallica die off IN India because of Tamarind tree destruction, there will still be P...

I would say the Phlogius crassipes from Australia. I've only seen jon3800 have one. I live in Australia, they are definitely not rare. However, they are rare in the hobby.

Wouldn't you want to ENCOURAGE hunting? I mean, you don't want to make them completely dependant on you

Unfortunately in Australia the laws are VERY strict when it comes to native snakes. To own one you need (at least)a grade 2 reptile licence. These are for small pythons. For large pythons and highly venomous snakes you need a grade 4 or 5 licence. This is the reason why you can really only buy...

Nah they don't Nup, the pet stores near me don't sell inverts so I wouldn't expect them to sell invert food.

OK, so I'm probably not as ambitious as other tarantula keepers because I'm not going to keep more than 3 tarantulas at any one time. I am going to buy my crickets from this site: http://www.livefoods.com.au/live-insects/crickets. They come in batches of 250 crickets with sizes pinhead...

I have tried to find an AUSSIE website that sells this species. Green scorpion only had selenotholus and selenotypus...but why can't i find these. And what's even more funny is that these are very easily available on Tarantulacanada.com, when they are native to Australia. Please help me...

I'm talking about parasites, not pesticides

Thanks! I will do what you say and not feed my T these wild crickets. However, I have some doubts: Wouldn't keeping Ts too clean and feeding them clean food affect their immune system? I am sort of thinking of humans here. Please read this...

OK guys i've decided to get Selenotypus Plumipes. I just have one more question. In our house we regularly get common crickets. I probably have to mortein 2 or more everyday because they are pests. This is the species. (http://allerkins.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/cricket-insect-picture.jpg)...

As a beginner, I don't want to start with aggressive species, especially Selenocosmia crassipes. Is there any docile Australian tarantula species? Any perfect for beginners. I would get a Mexican red knee as a beginner, as they are docile, however importing exotics are strictly forbidden...

Hello everyone in arachnoboards, I'm a jumping spider enthusiast living in Australia. Unfortunately here it is strictly forbidden to import exotic species to protect our native wildlife. I have found a really calm and temperate jumping spider known as ocrisiona leucocomis under eucalyptus bark...

Hey, and one last thing. I know that hyllus giganteus jumpers can be found in australia. but I'm wondering if they can be found anywhere near Perth. thanks

Could you identify the species from the pics? thanks for the info. it's eyes don't seem to be obscured, it can jump accurately. btw could you identify the species from the pics? thanks

I dropped a baby cricket in his/her cage and he's afraid of it. Whenever the cricket comes near he'll back away.btw how could i identify the species? Another question, I know there are hyllus. giganteus in Australia, however, are there any in perth. EDIT I have finally found a picture of my...
