    Mites on my Avicularia Avicularia???

    I bought this Avic about 6-8 weeks ago. I got it unsexed & appx. 3". It was VERY inexpensive, so I was a bit surprised, but I tried not to look a gift horse in the mouth & just be grateful. I did notice that "her" abdomen was very, very skinny, however, the seller couldn't tell me when she had...

    Fossorial Enclosure advice please

    Gotcha! For some reason, I thought you meant a glass cup...inside the enclosure. I was totally confused.... My son wants an H. Gigas so badly. I'm just dying to design the enclosure when he does finally get one (and it gets big enough to have a cool terrarium with h2o and possibly fish)...

    Fossorial Enclosure advice please

    This is awesome! I JUST bought 6 new 4" squared x 8" H amac boxes online and drilled the holes yesterday. I set up 3; rehousing my P. Ornata, P. Irminia and Ummidia- "Cork-Lid Trapdoor". I have 3 extras, so if you think I can get by a few more months (financially, that would be amazing!!)...

    Fossorial Enclosure advice please

    I have 2 fossorial species that are relatively new to my collection- a Chilobrachys sp. Vietnam Blue and a Cerotogyrus Darlingi. Both are small juvies and only one is (supposedly) sexed as a female. When I got them, I moved them into small plasic 4" square x 3" high containers with plenty of...

    EDIT: Anyone near Mountain Grove, MO?? NEED HELP!!

    I guess we got it resolved, but thank you for helping us try to think of a solution. His grandparents offered to drive the 14hrs down to pick him...and his hairy crew....and all of their legs...and drive them the 14hrs back. I still wish he could have packed them up, shipped & flew home...

    EDIT: Anyone near Mountain Grove, MO?? NEED HELP!!

    I messed up my earlier thread....so..... Im really reaching deep for some friends in this community. I live in PA and my son (21) was spending the summer with friends in MI- with his collection of T's (don't ask me why- hes 21) however, that situation soured and he is now stranded in a hotel in...

    EDIT: Anyone near Mountain Grove, MO?? NEED HELP!!

    Im really reaching deep for some friends in this community, here. I live in PA and my son (21) was spending the summer with friends in MI- with his collection of T's (don't ask me why- hes 21 and does not listen), however, that situation soured and he is now stranded in a hotel in Spring Grove...

    Feeding responses

    Be careful! That speed....that speed! IT WILL GET YOU! I know my first pokie and my Vietnam Blue really took my breath away- even as slings- they MOVE. Its faster than the blink of an eye and so rehomeing is "FUN?!?!?!" LOL! All kidding aside, they are amazing to have, to care for, to...

    Clay pots as hides???

    I never thought to cut them in half- this is a great idea! I can still use them, but dont have to worry about the crushing! Awesome tip!

    Feeding responses

    I have a juvie Singapore Blue and a Vietnam Blue, and both of them, so far, have had pretty mild feeding responses....which is crazy odd, from what Ive heard. My wild feeders are my P. Ornata and my P. Regalis! They BOTH are just slings (almost juvies) and they give me a RUN for my money. Its...
