    JC Python + Chicken Eggs?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if jungle carpet pythons can eat chicken eggs? It would be neat if they can, because then there would be another food item to add to my snake's diet. All I can find on the internet is that coastal carpets in the wild eat eggs.... peace

    Housing Two Pokies Together?

    Thank you SO much everyone for your responses, you're very helpful!!!!!! I can't wait to start breeding. My female is ready to breed she's around 5" and fat though the male I'm ordering is around 3", so I have to wait until he grows more. How large would you say a male needs to be before...

    Housing Two Pokies Together?

    Hello Tarantula people, What are your thoughts on housing a mature male and female p. metallica together in a 15 gallon terrarium? I know when breeding, some people keep them together for a month at a time and hope that the male doesn't get eaten..... I've been thinking; instead of...

    Jungle Carpet Python + Hornworm?

    I bought a huge hornworm for my 3.5 inch p.metallica and the spider want's nothing to do with it. Does anyone know if hornworms can be fed to a jungle carpet python? I don't want to waste the bug. I might end up eating it myself. =)

    Mealworm colony + organic or non-organic oats?

    Hey bug people =) I've been keeping my mealworm colony in organic oats. It makes sense since pesticides are supposed to kill crawlers.... But...Do people keep their mealworms in non-organic oats and have success? (organic oats are getting pricy...) peace

    Python + breathed in drywall dust and panicked!?

    I feel REALLY bad about this....I was sitting with my jungle carpet python and she started to freak out, trying to rub her nose or maybe burrow...I looked around the area where we were sitting and I found drywall dust. I'm a new snake owner, so I thought I'd ask people here if I should be...

    Wild Isopods or Purchased Isopods?

    Pseudo-scorpions take out mites?! They are awesome looking and I've seen them in my backyard too =) Though there is something I just realized that may be a reason not to introduce wild caught insects....In the morning I've seen A LOT of what 'looks' like horsehair worms in the garden....I...

    Wild Isopods or Purchased Isopods?

    Hello T people =) What are your thoughts on adding wild isopods to a T enclosure or roach colony etc? Is it too risky to bring in wild critters?

    P. Metallica Chew Through Screen?

    It's good to know that they can do this, I've just been lucky that my T's are content in their enclosure presently and haven't tried to escape the little homes they've built. When I re-house them the non-metal screen will likely be a problem since they might want to find their home...

    P. Metallica Chew Through Screen?

    Thanks Hobo and LordWaffle, Really!!! They can chew through metal screen?!? Well, I'm creating a new enclosure for my Metallica very soon out of a large metal and glass lantern thing, so I'll figure out a different way of covering the vent holes...The lanterns hanging near my bed....I wouldn't...

    P. Metallica Chew Through Screen?

    Hello spider people =) I was wondering if anyone has heard or experienced a tarantula escaping an enclosure through a (non-metal) screen? My tarantula enclosures (LP and metallica) have screens that are not made of metal and I'm wondering if a tarantula could "chew" through it if it...

    So if you doooo get bit, after all the precautions; pinching the wound doesn't work...sucking it doesn't work...the twist tie thing people do doesn't work...my vacuum idea doesn't work... So if you dooo get bit, you just lay down and wait for doom to set in? And those muscle relaxants people...

    Strange question about T bites, on the more venomous side?

    I've been watching video's on people being bitten by the more venomous T's and I have a question for you guys... When re-housing the more venomous T's...is it a useless idea or a good idea to had a powerful vacuum cleaner set up, in case you do get bit, you can quickly put the bite under the...

    Oil + sides of bathtub = Inescapable area when re-housing, etc?

    =) I know this is a silly question... I was thinking... ...To make an escape-proof area for when I'm working with my future tarantula....would it work to do it in a bathtub, with the sides greased a little in case it decides to take off? Or will it totally run over the slippery part...
