I have nicer spiders than that to protect.
What a pretty spider. I wish we had that color form.
+1 I'd love to have a couple of those, really beautiful.
Those hoarders!
Yeah black & white color form I would love, Look like a OW a dwarft A genic or N cromatus MM color.
There are a few dealers who import from Europe, like Paul Becker and Ken the Bug Guy. Tell them you want other P murinus color forms. They should be pretty affordable. Let them see there's a demand. It used to be the orange form was scarce and more expensive; it wasn't even known to be P murinus back then, just called 'Usambara.' People wanted the orange one and stopped breeding the other color forms in this country. We need to get the other ones back here.
good idea. YOu do have way more breeding expereince than me but OBT breed well. I could prob pull it off well , unlmited supply of dubia 5k+, in your T room you could have endless roaches 10's of thousand discoids. Crickets work well though they are king of feeders, good choice~! I fed dubia for only 2 yr.
Yeah I recall those days...reading about the usumbara orange, back in the day the fact that it was actually a legit P. murinus was still up for debate. Now its the only one most know exist...odd how much can change in basically a decade (ish).
The common species when I started out are rare, to non-existant
a lot can change in 10- 5 years. I kept Ts for 12 years but 1st two years were only rip off pet store species A avic was way to hard for me back then , they told me to keep it dry with no humidity.
That's actually exactly how I keep avics. Just a water bowl and good cross ventilation, otherwise everything is kept dry...that cross ventilation is far more critical than is higher humidity levels.
Yes pet store suggested a huge 10gal tank which I took lid off and DIy Plexiglas lid on now for humidity. I used it for a 2-3" A avic they also told me to use a sponge did that kill the T?
Oh god i aint seen one of these in years.. dang.. now i feel i stalked around the forum too long b4 joining..
