I live in Norfolk, England & roughly the same distance from both London & Amsterdam. 119 miles to London via road & 150 air miles to Amsterdam. That is our weather too.

Hello Dee Welcome to the hobby & the forum.

Hello & welcome to the forum & the hobby.

For normal sized T's all we do, is not feed any T that has molted during the previous 7 days. So any molts we find from & thus including, the last feeding day onwards. Do not get fed. We have never had an issue. But just to say. We do feed our T's, nice soft crickets & we do leave our larger...

Molts so far this week. G pulchra. L Klugi. T sazamai. T rasti. T sabulosum. K brunnipes. M balfouri. Last weeks were. A bicoloratum. G conception. B auratum. B auratum. Both from the same egg sack. Both females. T alboplosus. T kalenbergi G pulchripies. N cerredensis. It must be summer!

Safe for what? Lasiodora parahybana's are in general relaxed & easy to keep. Plus, they grow to an impressive size. So make a good T for anyone to keep.

Hello Naomi, welcome to the forum.

Hello Daphne, welcome to both the hobby & the forum.

Hello Bram, welcome to the forum & the hobby. Like many her I use a mixture of commercially made enclosures & random household containers, with airholes melted into them. Personally I do not use spray foam, as I hate the stuff & only use it for DIY jobs & only then, if it really is, the best...

Feeding day today & one of my LP's has molted. I brought him, as an adult her. We then realised she was a he, at his first molt with us. However he has been with us for a few years, had grown bigger than males normally do & we have not a sexable molt since. So we had thought that we had maybe...

As Jimi Hendrix said. Hey Joe. And as I have said before.. Welcome to the forum & the hobby.

If at all possible use some cotton buds & using lightly warmed water, try & moisten her, around the fangs. Normally, the molt will come away, when moist. Sometimes a mist will work, but it is not ideal, as it does tend to stress them even more. But if she is not a T whose attitude lends it's...

One molt, when we fed yesterday afternoon & one T on it's back. Both were Theraphosa blondi, both are previously confirmed female & both are from the same batch of three, that we brought as slings hoping to get at least one female. The third blondi from that 3, is, also a female & she molted...

Heat is the best extermination method for bed bugs & far better than pesticides, as it kills all life stages. Eggs included. And pesticides tend not to effect eggs normally. Edited to add. Thanks to extensive use of DDT in the 1950's DDT is no longer effective on bedbugs as they, as with some...
