There MAY not be any more Mainstay containers at the Walmarts within a 40 mile radius of me.....

Ya know it’s funny, I was at Walmart the other day and happened to walk through the aisle that had those. I chuckled when I thought of you filling them all with spiders.

These will mostly all be filled up with spiders soon as well lol. Got a lot of growouts ready to get upgraded from 5.5 oz delis.

Happy rehousing, Mainstay Man! ;-)

P. irminia failed molt



She had been in pre-molt a while behind her dirt curtain, decided to check on her, wasn't in death curl but non responsive to stimuli, gave it a day, checked again, same as before. Removed her from the enclosure, not good. Cephalothorax partially molted, everything else seemed like a failure. Was one of my favorite T's, had her since sling, felt she only had a molt or two until mature. Shamefully part of the hobby we love and enjoy.

Wow, how devastating. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry Denn <3

Today, I will be mixing substrate and maybe, just maybe, finally moving some Ts around. We shall see.
I will go ahead and report before it happens, because I know it will, Murderbaby (unofficial name) will be murdering water again today. Potentially a cockroach. Who am I kidding? That beautiful little thing will murder the heck out of anything that goes in there.

Thanks for the condolences guys/dolls.

Hope the rehouse/relocating of spiders/ replacing substrate goes well for you Pikachu.

This is just the wierdest P. everetti specimen.....



It'll always dart back to it's hide if disturbed, but it seems to just enjoy, dare I say it, hanging out?

GBB male juvie/sub adult not having any of my water dish antics.

I rehoused my trio of Ornithoctoninae sp. "Hana" this evening. They're all around 1.5" DLS, and I've got at least one identified as a female. I've really enjoyed this little species...




I'm hoping they start to show some of the blue coloration on the abdomen after their next molts, which should be in the next month or so.

I love how they go from

"Pls mothre I am so weak and feeble from molting"

to a zero dark thirty escape attempt. She's a month post molt and has had 3 crickets so far, apparently not enough.

It took me a few minutes to identify where the rattling was from after I heard the initial pop. This is in addition to crickets chirping (I like the sound) and 5 mature males tapping all night. It is like a jungle in my bedroom.

Here I thought I had secure lids.

Nightshade, exploiter of weaknesses, Tliltocatl schroederi (but she throws shade all the time)

Today's menu is 104 male lateralis and 16 male dubia (plus 118 small lats that were already fed off).

I just can't get enough of this little guy. He's so calm, such a good eater, has grown incredibly fast (from 0.5 cm to 5 cm in 8 months) and to top it off, he's beautiful. What more could you wish for?

All the wings add extra crunch!

In theory, sure. In practice, usually means more of a mess to clean up lol. Still though, it preserves the viability of the feeder colonies (and makes sure I don't have any ootheca laid in an enclosure).

I've sat and listened to many horses crunch grain. I've also had the pleasure to hear a spider crunch it's meal.

P. Irminia sling finally threw out its molt for me. Something tells me I'm gonna have to wait a bit longer to try to determine male or female on this one...
