Do I need a circular saw or something? I was under the impression all you need is a straight edge and a razor. And I was talking about a dam to hold the substrate not a lid. Last item: does Lowe's have/cut plexiglass?
Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm leaning toward the hot glue and plexiglass. I believe I've seen a video on cutting plexiglass, and if memory serves all I need is an exactoknife? I think you score both sides, and it should snap off easily right? If I had a power drill, I'd be tempted to...
I'm somewhat familiar with the process of upending a typical terrarium for aboreals, but I need some specifics. I'm wanting to rehouse my P rufilata, and I'm planning to move it into a 2.5 gallon. I know I need to glue a piece of plexiglass or whatever to hold in the substrate. Anyway I need to...
I'm wondering if it's possible to overfeed scorpions. I know there's sometimes cause for concern with T's on this subject, but I'm not as knowledgable with scorpions. My H arizonesis is starting to look like he might be getting a little to fat for his own good. He is still feeding very...
I thought I'd re-open this thread for discussion. This will sound stupid, but I was watching spiderman...Anyway the one part said that the "grass spider" has reflexes which border precognition. I googled grass spider and found that it's another common name for the funnel-web spider. I used the...
You know what else tastes like crab and shrimp? Crab and shrimp. No fangs to remove, and you don't have to close your eyes when eating it to avoid gagging.
T's are some of the weirdest pets behaviorally I've ever owned. If she doesn't look dehydrated or death curling, you're probably being paranoid. They can go months without eating for months or eat every day. Don't worry about it.
The girlfriends I've had since I started keeping spiders hated them. My current gf has arachnophobia. The way I see it, if you aren't living together she doesn't really get to have an opinion. If you had more than say 15, maybe. I've put them in the closet for her in the past, but only because...
They hate moisture. Mine won't go near moist substrate. All slings need misting, but after OBT's hit the 1" mark or so it's completely unneccessary. I understand that you've done research, but this is pretty common knowledge.
They get much more defensive as adults. I think it makes them more...
I think the most accurate answer would have to be: maybe. The problem with WC is you don't really know what you're going to get into with parasites and captivity adjustment. It will depends largely on the seller I suspect. In the future, I'd recommend CB.
Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll try blocking the hole and cutting some of the webbing. I've never had problems with my screen lids. Most of my T's don't use them for climbing after they've settled in.
Some of you implied that you use tongs for this. I have a long set of forceps, but...
Almost forgot to mention: this time instead of dumping dirt in the water dish, it's been webbed over and saved as a decoration or some type of doormat. :rolleyes:
PS I'll be out of town until Sunday, so when I don't respond to the posts on this thread; be patient. Thanks in advance guys.
My OBT used to flee the very sound of my voice in the very recent past. That being said, she has now taken to standing her ground and giving me threat postures and striking at the air instead. This started when I rehoused her with substantially more substrate. For a while she just hugged the...
So I bought a new potting mix that's all organic that I was going to use for substrate as opposed to my usual peat/coco fiber mix. I was drawn to the all natural aspect, and I wanted something I could also use for planting some basil and other spices in so I can have fresh stuff in the house...
