I'm thinking of placing an order as soon as my order of enclosures arrives. I would rather deal with all of you first, than a large company, but I have not seen many posted for sale and/or I was late checking the forum and they were already sold.

I'm looking for mostly NW terrestrial and arboreal, but will consider OW species too. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

A communal species you can keep in groups

I've done some research on them, but I don't know anything about keeping them communally. Can you raise them to adulthood together? What are you feeding them? I have started a B. Dubia colony and have many smalls up to breeding size males and females, but no pinheads yet. I read that they like smaller prey than what you would normally feed a T of that size.

I'm interested in getting 2 of them. I'm in Illinois and it has just recently turned colder. Your LAG says "not responsible for extreme weather." Would you still be able to ship them to me with heat packs? It's going to be low 40s over night and low 50s during the day starting on Tues. Would you still honor your LAG? Let me know and I can set up the payment to you. Thanks!

@ Schoolman, I'm literally almost shaking here, size and price?
(not that size matters but curious as to what size enclosure it would need)

I know several breeders that keep them communally- one has a set of 14 living together for 2 years now and there is ZERO aggression they eat great come out on the regular and it's really fascinating to watch- if you have instagram I can give you her info and check it out- I also know of another breeder that keeps 8 together with no problems. The common connection is they're all from the same sac and they feed them red runners.

I hope they like dubia, cause that's the only colony I have! Lol! I don't have instagram, but thanks for the info! I do have Facebook though.

I can't wait to get them and watch them feed! Did you ship my 4 little guys yet? It's gonna start getting colder at night soon here.

No I like most don't ship between Dec 20th and Jan 1st. Far to many mishaps, delayed and lost packages this time of year. Will start back shipping Monday of next week
