    What to feed crickets?

    I feed crushed dog food (free range, but that likely makes no difference) and fresh produce - apples, carrots, banana, potato, lettuce or whatever's lying around. Fresh water is also available at all times.

    What's Wrong with my Klaasi?

    What species was your first tarantula?

    Mine was a tiny B. vagans sling that came free with the purchase of an M. martensii scorpion back in mid-November 2006 at a local reptile show. That got the bug started and I'm now up to 21 :)

    Could this be a sign of pre-molt?

    My little B. vagans sling (about 1 cm) closed up it's burrow for at least 2 weeks and just recently emerged freshly molted. I wasn't sure if it was dead or not but gave it a chance to do it's thing and everything worked out. I just made sure the substrate was ever so slightly moist. Yours is...

    10 gal Tank

    When you refer to black lamps aren't you refering to the UV lights that cause things to fluoresce and not the black incandescent light bulbs? I contacted Exo Terra about their "Night Glo" bulb and they specifically stated that it emits no harmful UV rays.
