    Bag of Chips making my Ts mad?

    I'd be more inclined to think it might have been a light breeze from the exhale of your breath as you snack or some vibration from something. Was there any contact with the enclosures or what they are on and do you think it could have been an exhale into the top of the containers?

    Are my cats stressing out my T

    Tarantulas can only see shadows anyway. If you have a hide provided, then if they feel weary of the eyes on them, they can go hide. Also, cats are attracted to movements of little things. Over time, the cats will get use to those cages and it’ll become not very interesting because of the lack of...

    Fast growing terrestrial species

    Researched T’s in the most tropical regions. They will normally have the highest metabolism for the quickest growth. You should have many to choose from that fit what you desire.

    Sweet!! I’ll message you some details soon. It’s not set in stone yet but we’re looking at the first weekend in May.

    The term captivity

    It’s a none cognitive choice or simply instinctual will to continually move to more favorable living conditions. It’s simply a drive to survive. It is a choice they make but I’m certain there’s no reasoning or listing the pros and cons of said choices to decide. The specimens instinctual drive...

    Southern Missouri Bug Hunt

    I’m going to look for anything the area offers. I live here so, A hentzi for days. C. Vittatus. Centipedes, millipedes, numerous snakes and lizards. It’s all pretty generic but you can find all of it in this one area.

    Have you been bitten? (poll)

    I got nailed by a female P. Metallica. It hurt but it was a dry bite. No harm but I deserved it for my stupidity.

    What has happened in the tarantula world in the last 10 years?

    Can't figure out my issues with condensation/humidity

    Ok. I missed that part where the heat pads weren't touching. I agree, photos will help a ton.

    Can't figure out my issues with condensation/humidity

    The condensation is a result of the heat pad being directly under your containers which is zapping all the moisture out of the enclosure. I would definitely keep the cabinet they are in heated but I wouldn't put their cages directly on the heat source. That'll help the substrate retain some of...

    Review by 'cheetah13mo' on item 'Swift's Invertebrates'

    I've purchased from Mr. Swift before and decided to purchase from him while getting back into the hobby. I was not disappointed. The quality and care of his product was top notch and still is. He even threw in so small feeders for me so I could get my new pets settled and start feeding right...

    Help! Is my T dead? Or molting?

    Very true. I'll add that it's important to be prepared and have all the moisture requirements dealt with before hand so the T is not disturbed during the process, if at all possible. Also very true. It "shouldn't" but, things happen and adding moisture into the enclosure is always an option if...

    Help! Is my T dead? Or molting?

    I wouldn't say it's useless at all. Yes, it's the internal moisture that separates the old skin from the new is most important but the added moisture during a molt will help keep the old skin more pliable for a longer period of time. That could make the difference between a good or failed molt.

    Help! Is my T dead? Or molting?

    I wouldn't worry much yet. Ts often take more time to molt the older they get. Plus, as far as you know, she could be finished with the molt and just recovering in the safety of her hide. If I were you, I'd make sure the moisture is up in the container and wait another week or two and see.

    Misc. questions

    I've never used any sort of water dish for any sling under an inch and have never had an issue. I've witnessed them drink from water droplets after a light misting of the container so, between that and the moisture from their food, that seems to be adiquit. Larger T's don't eat often enough to...

    Newbie with a sling

    The dark rump is a good sign. It means she gonna grow soon and your doing things right. Well done!! Just make sure the enclosure has a little bit of moisture for humidity to make the molting easier.
