    I'm baffled.

    I'm just throwing this out there for entertainment purposes. I'm really not looking for answers. I understand that tarantulas do what they are gonna do. If they want to bulldose, they will bulldose. If they want to fill the water dish with substrate, nothing is going to stop them. My...

    Sick section of YouTube

    On October 28th we are getting a pacman frog from a reptile Expo. We wanted a bioactive enclosure. After two weeks of tearing down, setting back up, and tweaking I finally have the enclosure to where it will hold consistent and appropriate humidity and temperatures. I turned to YouTube for a...

    Can't get 'X'? Get 'Y'

    Been noticing there are reasonable substitutes for some tarantulas. I thought it would be fun/informative to try making a list to see what happened. Can't get an Aphonopelma mooreae? Get a Dolichothele diamantinensis or the ever popular Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. Can't get a Grammastola...

    Bug Out on IMDB

    Thought I'd toss this out there for anyone who might stumble across it. Just checked out a show called "Bug Out" on the IMDB channel. It was just ok. It is a 5 part docudrama about a $40,000 bug theft from an insect museum in Philadelphia PA. It is told in a manner that withholds a few bits...

    Silk stuck to butt?

    I have an A. johnnycashi that recently molted. She lost a pedipalp in the molt. Since then, I've noticed she gets thick strands of silk stuck to her under her spinneretes. The silk gets thicker the closer it gets to her butt. Thick enough and stuck enough that if I grab it with tongs, she can't...

    Unconventional enclosures

    I don't like cheese balls. The thought of all those poor cheeses singing soprano for the sake of a mediocre to poor snack food bothers me. But man, that container would make a killer enclosure! Anyone else see/use something that on the surface seems strange for an enclosure?

    Label printer

    My collection doth grow and so I'm in the market for a hand held label printer. More than likely a DYMO labelmanager 160. Anyone have a different one that they love or hate? Or any experience with the DYMO?

    Rexpo 2021

    Speaking to you Northeasterners. Anyone going to Rexpo 2021 in Rochester NY? 'Tis the biggest one on the East coast if the website is to be believed. I've never been to one of these before, should be fun. Setting a strict budget for myself and only using cash. We'll see how it goes.

    My C. Darlingi story

    I got a 1 - 1.5 in. C. darlingi as a freebie back in September. I wanted to stick to new worlds, but a sellers generosity had other plans for me. I knew nothing about them, other than it was an old world, therefore potent venom, and it was faster than my Brachypelmas. I turned up a container...

    Checking in

    Hi all! Been lurking here for almost a year. Spider buying season is here, so I decided to make myself known. I started out in June with the intent of only getting Brachypelmas, and only adults. Ordered a B. Smithi, got a T. albopilosus sling as a freebie. I didn't know about freebies...
