We traded Brachypelma for Chilobrachys. The package was well prepared, the spiders were accurately represented, the communication was excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase in the future.
This is a dealer review so that I may post in the classifieds section. I primarily work with reptiles but have a few arachnids. I am a former insect keeper at the Omaha zoo and now work as an entomologist.
The presentation has nothing to do with reintroductions of tarantulas but instead rearing them in mass to help stave off the wild importation of tarantulas. Think of the number of adult female Grammostola that are being imported every year. I was really hoping for jaw-dropping numbers of how...
I am doing a presentation at the upcoming Invertebrates in Education, Conservation, and Captivity conference on the benefits of captive rearing tarantulas in mass. Can anyone help me out with finding a few statistics and pictures? I want to start the presentation with amounts of tarantulas...
Thanks for all the help guys. I should have my MV unit up and running in a few more days. I bought a 175watt MV bulb at Home Depot. I had to order a Mogul to Medium base converter so I can plug my bulb into a normal light socket. I'll use a camera tripod to hold up my ceramic light socket...
Thanks for the help beetleexperience! My friend and I are planning a trip across the country this summer to set up black light sheets, hopefully we'll end up in Southern AZ to get some good stuff. Where are you located? Iim really leaning towards using a Mercury Vapor bulb the more I read but...
Does anyone here have a lot of experience black lighting for insects? I am planning on getting a set-up for this summer. Have you guys ever used power inverters instead of generators? What kind of lights do you think works best? I really appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
Our vinegaroon, Mastigoproctus giganteus, was found to have an egg sac this morning. Any advice besides don't disturb her? Has anyone successfully had eggs hatch?
I'm way ahead of you Matt, I sent him an email before I posted here! Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I think what happened was the new containers had lids that fit a lot tighter than I realized. I've never had such air tight containers so I've never put air holes in them. Since these...
I work at a zoo where we have a large amount of exotic beetles. Recently, I did a larvae harvest with my C. atlas beetles and got about 75 L1s. I did something different and put them into individual 32oz deli cups (the tall ones) with a good mixture of leaves (40%), wood (20%), compost (20%)...

I've found limited information about these guys, it looks like they might be gall formers and sweet potatoe might be used as a substitute host plant. Thanks for the info guys.
Peter, how have you been? I sent you an email did you ever recieve it? Are you still mad at me because I...
I am acquiring some Asian Frog legged beetles (Sagra buqueti) for an exhibit at the Omaha Zoo. Does anyone have any information on these guys or point me in the direction of someone that does? I am familiar with breeding many species of beetles but can't find too much info on the Genus Sagra...
