How big are they? Basically it would help to know if they are adult size or if they are subadults. My guess, assuming they are adult size, is that the lower one is male. The top one is for sure not a mature male. It would help if you could get a better shot of the pedipalps on the lower animal...
If you tried mads@arachnophiliacs.ca you probably wouldn't have recieved a response, that e-mail is still not working properly. You can reach me at mads@canadiancricketcompany.com . Still have a few spiders left, but most of them went to Dave Avery of Avery Exotics ( www.averyexotics.com ).

Dave, I told you this guy was a goof!! Why do you think I was quick to duck away from the table when he showed up??!! ;P
Like Martin said, there's always a wise guy who's a self proclaimed expert. By the way, didn't this guy say he had the largest T. blondi in the world as well?

You are both right, getting the inverts into europe is not a problem, just like getting them into Canada, no problem at all. The problem is that the person sending them out of the US needs special export permits to do so legally. If the shipment does not contain these papers they will be held at...
That would be a little difficult to do in my opinion. You can't tattoo a spider, or eartag them, etc. You would have no way of tracking them the way you would other species of livestock.
I do agree, hybridizing of the different species should deffinatly be avoided, but I think it will be up...
Like Sheri said, it has quite a bit to do with the locality and what their main prey is as to whether they form packs. Most packs are comprised of an adult pair and their offspring, they stay together over the winter. Come spring they will pair off again and chase the youngsters out permanently...
Gerbils are much more difficult then mice to pair up. Your best bet is to get a few young gerbils and put them together, this way they will pair up on their own and since they are young, they are much less territorial. If you want to pair up adults, put both of them into a new tank at the same...
Those are dermestid beetle larvae, they won't hurt your crickets. They are a "cleaner" insect, they eat dead crickets and sheds and such. Most cricket suppliers do their best to remove them before packaging. If there are quite a few , I would maybe consider a new supplier.
The claim that albinos don't tend to live as long is true, but it has nothing to do with the color. Remember to produce albinos you need to have two animals that carry the albino gene, mate them together and then you will get 25% of the offspring showing the albino color. This is easiest to do...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that ant colonies produce winged males and females every year. These all mature at the same time and then swarm and mate and disperse to start new colonies of their own.
Check out this link http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=14152 , it has links to pretty much all the dealers in north america. Hope that helps.

This is caused from inbreeding, we occasionally got them as well whenever we had not introduced new genetics for a while. As is the case with most genetic mutations, good or bad, they show up whenever there is a high percentage of inbreeding. I'm not going to go into a big rant about genetics...
