It is able to spread it's chelicerae, but the fangs are useless. I'm already trying the cricket paste, so hopefully it works out. Thanks for the input.

My 1" A. geniculata molted a few weeks ago. It will jump on the crickets and pull them in with it's legs like it nomally would, but it seems unable to actually bite the cricket. The spider will hold the cricket in place for a few minutes and constantly try to bite it, but the cricket eventually...

The terrarium I have set up for my bearded dragon has a branch from a willow tree in it, which has started to sprout leaves. He will probably end up eating some of them so I was wondering if they would be harmful at all. Thanks.

My guess would be male, but it's hard to tell from that size. I'm actually going by the posterior shot, not the bottom one.

I noticed the avatar a while ago, heh heh. Does using a black light only effect the color or is it better for them? I'd prefer the white-blue of a UV light. I'd probably turn the UV on at night for heat and appearence, and use normal lighting/heating during the day.

I'm aware that they can detect UV light, I just didn't know if it will effect their health at all. It would not be on 24/7, if that makes any difference. -------- PS: The Fierce Deity is a character in 'The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'. I do not know if it is a cheat in 'Hey You Pikachu'...

I have seen people who mount UV lights above the tank so their scorpions appear to glow a bluish-white, and am considering getting one for my group of P. imperator. The reason I am posting this is because I just read that UV lights will cause stress and ultimately death to scorpions if...

I have been doing some breeding with this species, and in my experience it's very easy. As the others said, just be sure you know what you will do with a few hundred slings if you are successful.

I was doing some maintenence, and noticed a few non-segmented worms, about 2mm in length here and there. Upon seeing them, I immediately took the P. regalis that lives in the enclosure out and put it in another container. Now, to get rid of the worms, I'll completely change the substrate and...

Be sure not to post pics :P.

Are you requesting a picture of a B. boehmei female, or trying to find one for sale? Maybe he just wants the pic, and in that case, it is not in that bad of a place.

When I first transfered my perfectly healthly Poecilotheria regalis to a new enclosure, she stay un the ground, and hardly made any signs of life. A few days to a week later she was back in the air and completely fine. IME I see arboreals do that all the time when they are first put in a new...

There is no arguement against that being a P. murinus, sorry.

That's what I've always done, with any true spider. I just let her hold her eggsac until it hatches. Then I just retrieve the babies, usually after their first molt. I've never had any problems in diong it this way.

My G. rosea never goes near the water dish, she fills it with substrate and webs over top of it. That is, until I go to take the dish out. Then it is her best friend.

No, it does not. Of course a tarantula may find and eat a vertebrate in the wild once in a while, but in nature, the mouse is not enclosed with the spider, and they are not forced to fight to the death. That does not happen in the wild. You are lucky the mouse didn't bite your blondi's leg...

If it is a burrower or an obligate, why wouldn't you provide the right substrate depth? That is like not giving an arboreal a tall enclosure; it will survive, but it's not right. If you are only giving it an inch of substrate so that you can see it easily, then why did you get a burrower for...

Yes, Living World sells pine, cedar, and aspen shavings. All have the same picture of the rodents on them, and all are in the small pets section of the store. Nowhere on the package does it say that it is toxic to your small animals. So, by law, you have to post health risks on a product that...

Just take off the back legs, and it wont be able to run fast at all. I can asure you that the cricket wont feel any pain. If you want, just hold the leg and the cricket will bite it off on its own. If you really don't want to do this, a great solution is to put the cricket in the fridge...

How do you know the spider "prefers" wood chips? They do not have the intelligence to prefer anything. It does not think "Oh, I like these wood chips." and it definetely did not tell you that it does, so how do you know? For the well being of the spider, wood chips are highly unadvised. They...
