    Dubia Babies

    You really don't have to separate them. I just like to keep my adults by themselves because they need more heat and I feed them oranges to promote breading.

    so today i tried feeding my t.stirmi a superworm and.......

    I raise superworms for my daughters bearded dragon and that will only turn to beetles when they are by themselves. It will probable morph and emerge as a beetle as long as it doesn't have food. As mentioned above, crush their head before putting them in with your T.

    New to Tarantulas

    Thanks for the warm welcome. As far as being careful, I doubt you'll ever see a picture of it crawling on my hand.

    New to Tarantulas

    Hi...My name is Rick and I'm old enough to be your grandfather, most of you anyway. I'm from South Carolina. I'v always wanted a Tarantula and finally got one about 2 weeks ago. It's a P. Metallica and it is about 1 1/2".
