    ATTN: Poecilotheria owner, breeder or dealer.

    This is very much the same thing that is happening in the fishing world. "If the crown pleases, may I fish in such and such a spot?" Keep in mind to follow the money. Catch shares are driving the "Marine Protected Environments" How does this tie into T's? I'll tell you...the "science" Same...

    ISIS is launching scorpion bombs into towns in Iraq.

    One would have to think that the delivery method would kill them all. Unless you simply have a huge number you just release on the ground then, so much for the bomb aspect.

    Good beginner scorpions?

    Fair enough. Maybe you can enter a search for those found in your climate and see if any other guys will sell you one or two. I was just trying to give you a starting point. Good info on the other point on only single specimens being found. thx

    I must not have a sense of humor

    Thing one, I did not know the kid was only 5. Thing two, a smack with an open hand as I said did not mean to rear back and use all my strength to do it. The instantaneous response of that kid getting a smack (I should clarify here that the force of said smack was always meant to be used in...

    I must not have a sense of humor

    Wow, just wow! It is hard not to be reactionary but, an instant smack on the face would have been justified and one could point out that the kid survived said same smack the spider did not.

    A horrible loss

    I really hate hearing this. I ran across this video on how to use tea candles and flower pots to heat a room for pennies a day. Hope this helps people in the future in emergency situations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brHqBcZqNzE

    "Charanchula"

    Here in Chas. We call the Atlantic ocean the "pond". We have a local black ethnicity known as the Gullah people and you must really listen closely to understand what they are saying. I must also point out that it is NOT Eubonics that they are speaking. This dialect has been maintained from its...

    Focus On One Species?

    I have less than no experience with T's. However, I think that if you make them very inexpensive, you will have folks buying them on a whim. That can't be good for anyone...especially the tarantulas.

    How to educate the stubborn keeper?

    Stupid should be painful. Unfortunately, the T's are feeling the pain. You just can't fix stupid. You just can't. However, he will do one of two things, learn that he is wrong or get a spider with a bite so bad that he'll have no choice but to give up the hobby when he gets bit. It's a comin'...

    in search of a small scorpion

    Low temps like that have happened over many, many years. Some always survive. Chaos theory math. Nature, will find a way.

    Input needed and appreciated

    I have taken another step in this build. I have gone by the glass place and talked to one of their engineer/technicians. I will be talking to a couple of other people and then will contact me back. Needless to say, they have not gotten many of this type request, if ever. Will keep y'all posted.

    Bulding my first Vivarium!

    I was not focusing on his animal husbandry when reading the thread. You have some good points and I think in a tank that large you will have losses no matter what. I've been keeping fish for 25 plus years and still have losses from time to time with fish that just decide they don't like each...
