@Ghost ye I'm aware of the BTS events, like I said above the closest to me isn't until January 2016! If you can pass me on any other events Im more than interested. Unfortunately living in the south east, donny and the West Midlands is a lot of travelling!!
I no my local branch of the BTS hold...
Defently, we often get asked why?? Well why do you have a dog, cat, fags, drink, because it's what interests us!!
We have 7, brachypelma smithi,boehmi, albopilosum, G.rosea, euathulus sp red x2 and a sp yellow,
Easy beginner species, but love them all!
What about yourself?
You made me remember when we went to a reptile centre and my mrs asked if we bought this white knee could we have a discount code it was so dehydrated!
They said no and it has 1 bug ball,she had the right hump and made them give it a water bowl!
It's very few and far between hobby here ain't it!
Oh god, the funny thing is he has a leg in the air, should of called him John lol
I have changed the substrate in the last two weeks and if it indicates a healthy t, I'm doing it right : )
He actually cracks me up, walking on his top toes, looks so awquard
Hi, I'm in the South East (Kent)!
Just after reading what you've said, this is the one thing that really gets on my nerves about this hobby in England!
I'm always seeing events and stuff over in the U.S. But we don't seem to share there optimisum! I've recently found out the B.T.S are holding...
Evening/morning peeps,
Just a little update on the family, two new additions, first up
Bumble
Bumble is a sp yellow. And I can honestly say he's a little git bag, I'm not into handling, but we have no choice with bumble, as quick as the lids off he's out! Also once he's put back he runs to...
Just a quick question! My boehmi has literally been walking round on the tips of his legs for the last two days, is this just something that all t's will do or a sign he's not in a good place?? He's showing the signs of pre molt, just puzzled! Here's a not to great pic
Hi @Iya,
To be fair to @Chubbs he's always been extremely helpful to me, but he's a straight talking guy lol! I always think I spent to much time worrying about the temp, I just think if I'm in shorts n t shirt and warm, then they will be fine, if I'm chilly then the heating goes on!! I've also...
Mate I've had this same problem, with numerous dishes, I was topping up daily and one day realised my substrate was wrecked! Iv changed my t's into a new substrate and taken to putting big balls in the water, hoping that I don't have to keep refilling them EVERY day!! This as worked so far, but...
I can really appreciate your concern, I'm in the South east of England and for the first time in ages I actually put on my winter fleece to go to work, although I do start at 4am, but we're starting to get a right chill!
Although I read today about the guy whod moved into a new house in Bristol...
Your a saint for being so patient!! I'm usually moaning all morning when expecting a t, telling my wife that if the spider isn't here the postman getting an ear full, then I move on to moan the breeder better of sent it on time! Then when it arrives I jump around like a kid! So I think I'd of...
Do you know the size of the red?? I got two sp red and a yellow, and on all 3 occasions I had to go out and buy smaller tanks, cos they are tiny! Even my yellow which I bought as a sub adult, is very small bless her, just giving you a heads up although they make up for it with there character
this is gonna sound stupid and silly! But I'm either getting the water dish all wrong (more likely) or I'm having a war with water dishes lol!
I own brachy's,sp red/yellow and a rosea! All like substrate dry, but my water dishes are having to be changed constantly! I'll literally fill them and...
I guess these are a great spider if u get a good one! Thanks for all replies, just after the feedback I got from my research the rose was a miserable pet rock! So when she started behaving this way it took me back abit!
