    Most anticlimactic feeding video ever.

    Yeah, I've learned that over the time of having the dubia. I might try crushing the head of one next time I feed my porteri but that little butthead has turned them down before. It's funny, doesn't seem to matter of it's a roach, worm, or whatever. Wiggling or sitting still. It just investigates...

    That's the exact solution I came to lol. Good as time as any to start checking off that list I made.

    Most anticlimactic feeding video ever.

    Thanks! It really wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't like dubias lol. I started a colony on accident so I got tons. My LP is a garbage disposal but my porteri refuses literally everything except crickets. It would be my luck that nothing I have wants to eat them lol.

    Hey all. Just got a Aphonopelma seemanni and this is its first feeding with me. Thankfully I got all the excitement on video lol. Sorry the quality of the video isn't amazing. I recorded it real quick on my phone to show a friend. Hope you enjoy!

    Fresh molt on LP

    Thanks! I'm still relatively new to the hobby so I've tried to suck up all the knowledge I can to give this little ones a good life. Hopefully going to get some more here soon.

    Fresh molt on LP

    Almost forgot, I also have a G. porteri now too! A customer at the store I work at gave it to me. Dunno if it's male or female though. It's name is Kalliak. I'm really hoping it's female cause the people who gave it to me said it's already about four and a half years old.

    Fresh molt on LP

    Hey everyone. Been a long time since I posted so I figured I'd return in style. My LP Peter molted the other day. This picture was taken roughly twelve or so hours after the molting. It's really neat cause you can see Peter's molt by his water dish and see that he was very much brown. Now, even...

    New addition to the family

    Thanks! Gotta love surprises like this. I wasn't looking for another T but having one fall in your lap like this is too hard to pass up lol.

    New addition to the family

    I was under the impression that the grammostola species were fairly easy to find. Are females just hard to get cause everyone wants one?

    New addition to the family

    That's really interesting. I wonder why it works like that. To be perfectly honest, I was surprised it looks as good as it does. The enclosure was, frankly, gross when I got it.

    New addition to the family

    Thanks for the id! Like I said, I'm no where near an expert lol. The only species I've really done any true research into was LPs since that was the only one I was planning on getting. What about it makes it look more like a G. porteri as opposed to a G. Rosea? I dunno why they had it in a ten...

    New addition to the family

    Hey everyone! So, had an interesting thing happen last night at work. I work at a pet store so I get to interact with pet owners of all kinds all the time. Well, this mom came in to get crickets and started asking if anyone wanted a tarantula or knew if someone did. I got pulled into the...

    Interesting video

    Hey everyone. So a friend sent me this link and I found it fairly interesting. Thought I'd share it here. The article doesn't give much information but the video in it is pretty cool. https://www.sciencealert.com/watch-a-humongous-tarantula-drag-a-baby-opossum-away-for-feasting

    Substrate for aesthetic

    I was thinking of using it to build a background to the enclosure. Me being me though I'm thinking of themes and such lol. That clay looks like a lot of fun to mess with though, seems like you can really do a lot with it.
