Ugh. Sorry to hear. Hopefully he’s tucked away in some corner of the room. But I would keep my eyes open everywhere. I have an Az. Blonde that while we we’re away got out, down 3 shelves of a lean-to shelf unit, out of the room, down a flight of stairs and walked to the back of the house...

Damn spell check - chromatus. But you guys knew that. ;)

Informative article! Thanks! But I’m still confused at what I’m seeing. This is an N chromatic. TIA

As others have mentioned, I drip water into a corner of my clings enclosure, watching it go all the way to the bottom. If the spider wants a little more moisture it'll come over and hover over or nestle into the wet area. An area about the size of a quarter.

Glad to see him back. He's the one that got me into the hobby all those years ago.

Murphy's Law says if you set up an arboreal, it's going to want top be terrestrial and vica versa. Granted, mine is probably 5 or 6 years old now, but I still have it in a 12X12 with 3 inches of soil, and then lots of branches for anchor points. In the end it picked a spot under a branch but...

VERY cool. When I'm in the SW I always look for interesting critters, but never find anything as like that. Nice find.

What I did with my sling containers is to take a pencil and create an angled "burrow" along the edge. All my slings took advantage of the burrow was there rather than making their own. But they did expand it. Making it at the edge lets you always keep an eye on them. ;)

IMHO, I think most all Ts like it a dryer than what would be good for mushrooms. I have a poison dart frog viv and mushrooms are welcome as they are "eating" up decaying matter. I would buy a glass container with a lid and plant the mushrooms there. Water and cover treating it like a...

My way of avoided all that is to stand the fish tank (2 gal) on it's end a make a new front with acrylic. Little holes drilled at the top and the middle for ventilation, and some magnets keep the door shut. For terrestrials the Container Store has a clear acrylic box made for high heeled shoes...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. After liking Ts, I became interested in roaches after reading that 90+% of the varieties are not the dirty pests we usually think of. When looking thru the different kinds they are as varied as us, and all interesting. As far as pics, I don't have too many...

Hi, Would have been good if I listed them. Doh! My collection has an OBT, a GBB, B Vagans, P Irminia, B Smithi, A Chalcodes, and an N chromatus. I also have a colony of Death Head roaches, Wide Horn Hissers, and Question Mark Roaches

New member from NY here. I've been keep T's and other crawlies for about 5 or 6 years now. I've also been raising my own Dubias for them as well as other lizards. I have a few Poison Dart frogs as well, but they are a little more reluctant to eat the Dubia (hard to catch them when they are...
