Awsome subspinipes. I just picked one up tonight from Botar. They are a Malaysian (spelling?) species but I'm not sure which. How big is yours?

 

[P. Novak]

THanks I got mine in Nov. 06. I'm not sure how to tell the difference between each subspinipes species so I just had mine IDed here are the boards. Centipedes are awesome, varocious eaters. Mine is about 22cm/9"

I second that, actually they are all very nice set ups, lots of nice woods.

Paul, Ive seen some plants arround in your pictures, how are they doing?

 

[P. Novak]

Thanks again Natural. THe plants, well I use to have them until they died on me and I gave up.

How do you keep your plants alive, mine die, I water them and such and yet they still die. I have my window blinds open most of the time during the day so they can get some sunlight but end up dying sooner or later anyway.
Any tips on caring for plants in a terrarium?

From what I could see you use to have the right plants and you said that light and water enougth, so Im confused here, they should be ok. My plants just keep growing and must prun them very often.

im liking the pics man i really wish people would live near me so i could see everyones enclosures

 

[P. Novak]

@ Natural - Well some got trampled and I dont know some just randomly died, I was confused as well. Plus, you are the master at plants, but ya I'll try plants again sooner or later.

@ Nate - Hey thanks Nate, Me too! I would love to have someone near me with the same interests as me and such. My enclosures are actually pretty simple, just a rock and stick here and there. I found that taking a picture with only a portion of the setup makes it seem alot better.

10cm Aphonopelma seemanni 0.1

Is your scrofa mature? He/She is very pretty.

 

[P. Novak]

Its a she, and it should be a matured adult 9cm ~ 3"

Update: After 6 months from initial mating, my Avicularia avicularia laid an eggsac yesterday(3-24-07). 3 months was a cooling period. Keep your fingers crossed for a successful sac.

Now I'm just waiting for an A.chalcodes and an B.emilia sac.

Thanks man, I just hope they don't dry out or anything like that. I moved her enclosure into my closet, where its dark and undisturbed.

My Aphonopelma chalcodes has gained alot of weight, so my fingers are crossed.
