One of my smaller males has tried repeatedly to mate with a plant pot. So, maybe theres something in the air, and the emps are getting confused.

I think I have encountered someone worthy of the title of 'Pet Shop Plank'. It concerned uricating hairs. The conversation is sorta etched on my mind. Me: "I am always careful with the new world species, I'm developing a bit of a reaction to them" Petshop Plank: "How? I don't know anyone who...

I have a few males that hiss, and alot that don't! Don't know what determines it though.

Just discovered the secret stud whos been mating all the emp females. My big males have all proved quite useless in this regard (female rejection, them just not being intrested, or the male becoming angry and attacking the female). Any injured during failed matings attempts were put into the...

(As happened to me) Walking through uni with people avoiding me, checking my hair, face incase I have something weird on me and finding nothing. It not even occuring in my thoughts could be something to do with the scorpions I was taking to a friend, until a girl says "Did you see that...he...

Weirds. By sounds of it the problem is I am attributing too much to the leg loss, and not enough to him just 'being a scorpion'. :P Thanks gang. \/

Breeding attempt 1 he was in there for about 20 minutes, removed because the female was getting increasingly aggressive. Breeding attempt 2 lasted not very long because she wanted him dead. It's not her response that was strange though, it was him not performing any kind of 'dance' and...

Alright gang. Bit of a strange one this. One of my better breeding emperors recently lost a leg. The bleeding has ceased and the leg has been completly removed. However, last night when I was introducing him to a female, he seemed to have 'forgotten' what to do. The female is not gravid...

It could be done, but its tempting fate to be honest. Even fully fed, with many hides and multiple water bowls, their is still a chance of one killing the other. So I'd say probably not the best idea

I have got a few emp's from petshops before. Some were good, some were not so. Heres a list of roughly what I look for. i)No signs of injury (missing legs, damaged stings), or leaking wounds. You can buy injured ones of course! But I rekon they should give you a discount if its injured. If it...

Post moult when my T's have decided its time to eat again, I feed them more slightly smaller meals at a rate of one every 2 days, before resuming my normal feeding reigme. Haven't a clue why, but it seems to work for me. I usually do that until the abdomen looks about right. No scientific...

Maxident213 I can offer some advice from my own experiance on this, but I've only tried 'turbo growing' three emperors in the past, so it may just be chance. Increased tempreature seems to promote them eating a bit more. This kinda helps ensuring they eat some crickets gut loaded with...

Emps BREEDINGS!!!!!!!!!! Had Larry and Dominio together for a few nights and nothing happened. Was beginning to think he may have had no intrest, or be broken or something, then this morning about about 3am I was awoken by them charging around mating! Yays!!!

My Emps are all asleep except Domino, who is glass walking at the moment. The other five of them in this big 'pile of anger' that falls apart if I move the plant pot they all sleep under. They also get angry and try to attack me if I move it :(. They all turn into minature JCB's at night and...

G. rosea from my experiance is probably the most consistantly docile species. One of my B. albo (curly hair) has random angry days, which could make handling unpredictable. Gonna go with the general jist of the thread and say individual temprement has alot to do with it.

I always give any moulted sling at least 3 days to hardern off. They wont necessarily eat, but I sometimes give it a try. 5 days for a sling that size is probably a more likely time scale.

Only named T I have is a B. albopilosum. Shes called the Anger Tarantula. Shes usually very well behaved and calm, then occasionally becomes extremely tempremental and aggressive. Or actively defensive, meaning she attacks everything 'just incase' its going to attack her. On that, does anyone...

On (19) All elephants (Proboscides) That means you cant keep your pet elephant anymore. Just more do-gooder open hearts, closed minded people doing what they do best. Making everyone else miserable...for their own good.

Shes adult, between 6 and 7 inches. Not sure if its wild caught, kinda hard to know much about it at all as I dont have any history on the animal :(

Bit of a weird one this, basic back story is I was given an Emp (female) of a guy at uni who didnt want it anymore, his story about its history, and if its been bred or not, has changed about 30,000 times, so, if anyone can help its appreciated, because its not in a good way. Firstly, the...
