    Wanted Dead

    I'm looking for tarantula bodies. Not a molt unless top flap is there so it looks intact. I want to make some displays. If you have any that have died, I would be interested in them.

    Hey guys new to the forum.

    Might not be the same guy your talking about, but he is well known in SA. He has posted about his research and study of hybrids which usually means breeding. I'm surprised he has not posted, he is very easy to get riled up. I will not say his name..

    Rose Hair Acting Very Irritated since Last Feeding

    In the last picture you posted it looks like the water dish in the corner of the picture. It might just be the reflection, but it looks like its full of water crystals, like we use for crickets and roaches. Please say it's not!!!! Thats not just plain water.

    Shark Cage or Not

    This is mainly for breeders but will allow future breeders some helpful information. Do you use a shark cage or a divided enclosure. A shark cage is a small container with holes in it, you put the male in and lay it in the enclosure with the female for a few days before mating. Divided enclosure...

    crickets vs locusts vs roaches

    I have switched to the striped cricket instead of the common brown ones. Much fatter, slower, don't smell as bad and don't really make any noise.

    crickets vs locusts vs roaches

    Do adult male T's stop eating near end-of-life?

    Now I will confuse you. I've got a MM P cambridgei that had ultimate molt 8-27-14. He has ate 3 crickets since, but never when fed, but a couple days later it is just shell. Then I have "Moses" my G porteri who is now 21 months passed ultimate (just bred him last week) and I feed him a cricket...
