Thank you. I had no plans of trying to handle it. I don't even handle my spiders these days. :)

Thank you for saving it. It's a beauty! <3

So much great advice here! I think I have one. Not 100% sure though I do live in AZ and the critter did decide to sneak into my house about a week ago. Hasn't eaten yet though I'm seeing I probably need to pull out the lobster roaches since it hasn't eaten. I'm pondering keeping it until it...

If you don't mind PMng me your email address, I can send you the video I have of it. I think it would be way too big to upload here. I can't get a good pic right now though maybe a video will help ID it? :)

Thank you! I've actually been wanting a Desert Hairy for years now so was disappointed when this turned out to be something else. I do have a question for you though - I was thinking of getting coconut fiber, though that seems to be more for high humidity species. What are you using for...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. :)

Hello, I'm more of a T person and the last time I had a scorpion (Emperor), was over a decade ago. We found this guy/gal in our kitchen here in the Phoenix area of AZ. It's pretty much just orange and looks like it's been eating well. I'm guessing it's an immature bark scorpion of some sort...

My Aphonopelma eutylenum Sling I know this is an old thread, but I was looking for info on the typical growth rate of this species. I posted about it on another thread, but in case you didn't see it.... I bought mine between 6 or 7 years ago when it was about 1/8 of an inch. It is now...

Aphonopelma eutylenum Sling I have what is supposedly a captive bred aphonopelma eutylenum sling I bought about 6 or 7 YEARS ago. It is still a sling after all this time. I rarely see it eat, but it's growing and its abdomen is pretty hefty. He/she is getting ready to molt again. It's...

I'd say they are probably up there in age. I have some critters that have gone at least 2 years between molts, so I imagine you've got nothing to worry about. :) Oh, what's with the diet? Spiders should be eating bugs, not fruit. Umm, you can stop laughing now. I tried to delete this once...

yeah, I thought they might have molted, but I haven't found any molts. I think they were probably eaten, which is annoying, because she had a roach in there to eat. I think she wanted easier targets or something as she did not seem interested in the roach. I only found about 3 of them and...

Hiya, I just checked on my mama Emp scorp and her babies. I've dropped all the way down from about 10 to only 2 left alive. I don't know what's wrong. Earlier today, there were 5, then 4, now 2. One was just walking around. It seems to be the biggest one. The other is still on her...

Ok, maybe I should have put my pic here, but since someone asked for it in the other thread I started, I put it there. And apparently, nobody has seen it. (Or nobody likes it and that's why there are no comments). I would sure appreciate some comments on it though --- good or bad! ;)...

Thanks! Here's the pic someone asked for. Sorry about the fancy script for the copyright notice. I can't seem to change the font to make it more readable, but I do want to protect some of my better images. Hope you like it. :)

Sounds like I need to do something like that. I've got roaches escaping left and right and my husband is going to get extremely annoyed if he keeps seeing them get out. (he's afraid they'll infest our home). Thanks for the great story. That seems like a decent suggestion if he doesn't want...

Well, you have to admit that you are posting in a place where enthusiasts who care about inverts in general frequent. My heart goes out to your little mantid. He/she is at the end of its life cycle and is trapped in a place it cannot reproduce. And it is probably under some serious...

Hiya, That was actually a mistype. I was THINKING the right thing while typing the wrong thing. It was MSPaint that I was meaning to ask about, though I believe I have Adobe photoshop too. The thing is, with MSPaint, I want to be able to choose the text font, and it's not seeming to...

Hiya, I saw a couple other people with their own photo thread, and I figured it was a nice idea, being as I have such a variety of species I want to share photos of. Hope this is ok! Please be patient. I'm still learning my way around with this photo stuff and learning my way around my...

Just thought I'd bump this up as I haven't had an answer to my question yet. Funny how busy this board is! I love the fact we have so many hobbiests. It makes me feel a little less "weird"! ;) Wysi, the Weirdo ;)

Orange Demon? What a great name for an OBT. You don't bite too, do you? ;) I snapped a few pix and have some other pix to do to fill up the card. Then I'll run on over to the drug store and have them put on disk so I can see if anything is worth showing. One thing I forgot to ask...
