I've been dealing with bedbugs for the last 2 months. We resorted to pesticides and got 2 treatments (my Ts were relocated to my brother's) I haven't seen any in the past 2 weeks so I think they might be gone... How long should I wait until moving my T's back into my apartment that got bug bombed?

1. I'm under 21 & I don't drive so I don't have money or means to do that 2. I clearly don't want to get rid of him as I stated!!! 3. There are also probably 500 other "males" out there so I think it's ok

Yeah I know about the Chile situation but I don't know anyone local who's into T's and I'm too inexperienced to ship a 4-5in G. rosea safely. too much risk also he was my first T so I'm not exactly trigger happy to give him away to some random person lol if I had space and knew what to do with a...

My MM G. rosea had his ultimate molt about a month ago and just made his first sperm web yesterday…. Upon finishing the process, he didn't destroy the web? Are sperm webs supposed to have an odor? Because it's been smelling up my room awfully lol should I get rid of the sperm web myself? (I have...

It appears that the molt is finished and I was able to remove the old exoskeleton from the enclosure!!! The T's pedipalps look bulbous and one looks a bit injured (I'll post photos asap) so obviously this molt was his maturing molt. So does that mean Jude will no longer molt? The maturing one is...

When would time become concerning? and when/how should I remove the old exoskeleton from the terrarium?

The G. rosea that I've had for 1 year and 3 months finally molted. They started refusing food 4 months ago and the past month and a half have been webbing crazily all over. Last night around 10pm I caught them spinning a web mat/cradle in the corner and knew it was time. I woke up this morning...

No, I haven't. What sites do you get from?

@coldblood my T won't eat worms!! They refused wax worms. Which is surprising to me because the T is a ravenous eater usually when it comes to crickets. Where can I get moths?

The local pet shop here doesn't really sell anything other than meal/super worms & crickets but I wanted to try feeding my G. rosea something other than crickets, something new for a change. What are some reliable websites that sell a variety of feeder insects (besides worms & crickets) ? Also...

I ordered a 1/8 thick sheet of acrylic to make a lid out of for my 5 gal glass terrarium that previously had a screen lid. My measurements were slightly off so I will be adding a layer of caulk/glue around the lip of the enclosure and trimming it down with a razor so the lid fits snuggly (I...

Well long term what I plan to do with the acrylic sheet is vent it and attach a handle for the glass enclosure I already have. But for temporary, you're suggesting any plastic bin instead of the kritter keeper ? how would you secure the lid ?

I ordered a sheet of acrylic to construct a safe, suitable lid for my terrarium but it'll take 1-2 weeks to arrive. In the meantime, my G. rosea has been climbing nonstop upside down on the galvanized metal screening lid and getting their fangs and tarsal claws stuck in it. Last night, Jude got...

Well it's nearly winter here in NY and quite chilly. I'm usually cold in the house at this time of year the temperature is typically somewhere in the 60's but you may be right upon further observation I have noticed whenever the heat goes on, the climbing begins particularly. The highest temp...

I never gave it thought until Jude started fully climbing upside down on it O.o Do you suggest acrylic as well then? Or something else? I don't mind it just concerned for safety but HA it's been 8 months. apparently doesn't get bored quickly

Unsure of the sex. I have a 5.5 gal terrarium with the substrate filled halfway. Would a fall with that much space be dangerous? There's a ceramic decoration, some soft plants, a log hide, and a water dish. Nothing drastic. The current lid I have isn't mesh it's sort of a metal screening? Buy a...

So I've been housing 1 G. rosea for about 8 months now who loves to climb. There are periods where the T hardly climbs but more recently they have been climbing up to the top and hanging upside, climbing across the top of the terrarium upside entirely or climbing on the decorative plants and...

After visiting numerous PetSmarts and observing the awful conditions in which the Ts were in, I decided to create this petition. I have posted about it on other social media but with little progress because of the average person's disinterest in or misinformation of the creatures we know and...

Jude proudly clutching a cricket

I want to house a second T in the near future… The ideal T for me would be terrestrial, one who requires a dry terrarium with low humidity, isn't famous for often urticating hairs (like a B. smithi), not larger than 5-7inch when full grown, slow to medium speed, and typically has a non...
