The first thing that came to mind when you said sand was Smeringurus mesaensis. It's not large, but it has a LOT of attitude. Otherwise, I would suggest: 1) Hadrurus spadix 2) Androctonus sp 3) Hottentotta hottentotta Not necessarily in this order, but all 3 would be great picks, with...

OK...I think that makes it a little easier. Here's what I'd do. If you can fit the KK inside the current ExoTerra enclosure, then use a paintbrush or similar to shoo the T into the KK. It would definitely help to remove furnishings first. Another favorite method of mine would be to get a deli...

There are several ways, but first off we're missing some key information. First, how big is "Satan" {D , and sesond what is the P. murinus in now?

Just wait til they're down off her back, which should take 7 to 10 days. And do your very best not to stress her at this stage. If she gets too stressed, you risk her eating the babies. Best of Luck to you!!! Enjoy them, cause this is one of those great moments in keeping.:clap:

{D This is the whole reason why I made the statement I did in the first place. One thing the keepers statements all have in common is how amazed they are at the climbing ability of this species. They have even been known to hang upside-down from the screen top. It sounds fine then. Just so...

Wow It looks like Centruroides exilicauda heaven, Chris. Make sure you have a secure fitting top on that tank though. You don't want any surprises from these. Other than that, Very Nice! :clap:

I wouldn't suggest allowing a female to mate more than once a year, and I have read of several breeders that don't put a pair together any more often than once every other year. It's very demanding on the female, and breeding her too often can lead to a shortened lifespan. As for the male...

I think they shoulda researched the spelling of the latin name of this species before they published the article. :rolleyes: Wonder how exactly the editor earns their money??? :confused: Interesting find though, if indeed it is true.

Lotsa keepers (me included) use play sand as substrate in their encolsures. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The sand from the pet stores is extremely overpriced.:shame:

This statement is not completely true. Depending on species, there are some that are sexually dimorphic. One of the most obvious for me personally would be Pandinus cavimanus. I believe the A.a. is female, and the L.q. is male. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it. There are probably some on...

I think I'll keep my fingers outta that mad scramble, Thank You very much! {D And I've never experienced two spermataphore fixed together like that before. Great shot you captured there. Here's to many more little A. mauris!:worship:

WOW Eric, that BITES! Oh well, if at first you don't succeed...:? :rolleyes:

OK...Can I join the C. limbatus "Blind Date" club? {D I have two more here. I believe they're a molt or two away from adulthood though. :D Great Pictures as usual, Wayne!:clap:

Are there any R. junceas to be had on the market? I've NEVER seen them advertised for sale. Thanks!

Hey Michiel, thanks for all the info you provided!:worship: Can you even sex them this small? They're at best .75 inches in length. I'll keep you in mind when they get a little bigger, and maybe you can give me a hand at sexing them. I trust that would be OK? @DavidBarber - I've got 4 T. sp...

@Spike - Yeah, V. carolinianus are nice scorps. I just have a thing for the ones with darker coloration. @Luc - Thanks, trying hard to catch up with you!;)

OK, it's been a while since I've shared any info on how my collection is coming along so here we go. I've done a few purchases and trades recently, so I have quite a few new scorps. First up, Centruroides limbatus. I have two of these. And they'll eat ANYTHING you throw their way...

Hi all. I don't have many Ts, but I wanted to share this one with everybody. Now I know why these are (and rightfully so) the pinacle of the Theraphosid Keeper's mountain. :D I fell in love with this little spider the minute I rehoused it from its vial. Belold, Theraphosa blondi!!!:worship:

Looks familiar... I had 3 WC V. spinigerus some time back, and got an eye opener when I was looking at the same situation you face now. All 3 turned out to be gravid females. Do they have huge clutches or what? :eek: LOL...Talk about flooding the market with a species, huh? Don't you wish those...

Thinking or selling any? If so, PM me please. Would be happy to purchase. You're lucky, I can't collect anything up here!:(
