    Psalmopoeus Irminia

    Did some reading on springtails, pretty interesting little guys! I transplanted the pothos into topsoil after rinsing the roots. They are pretty hardy and has been doing well with the natural lighting in the room from the window sunlight. The move to this smaller enclosure will give plenty of...

    Psalmopoeus Irminia

    LOL, I love it! Thanks for filling me in with this great info! Ive had the one plant that vines growing in the larger exo terra for some time now without any extra lighting, there is also a screen top and I only water it every couple of weeks. I will have to change out the soil though to topsoil...

    Psalmopoeus Irminia

    I had this vision of making a live habitat..., I do have an 8x8x12 enclosure. So I guess smaller would be better! This is why I ask. I’ve read that they are good hunters, so thought it would be heightening to the senses for exploring and finding prey like in a natural setting. I have a larger...

    Psalmopoeus Irminia

    So...I have my first Psalmopoeus Irminia! The spiderling is approx .75" and is feeding 2 times weekly. I have plans on rehousing in about a month, give or take. My final rehouse after outgrowing the 2nd enclousure will be an exo terra with double doors on the front 18"x12"x12". I found a...

    I'm Officially a Tarantula Breeder Now

    Wow! Great pics and awsome job with the little ones. I have a sling that just molted last week. Feeding 1 wk old crickets which seem kind of small for it now. But what a great eater! Best of luck with the lot of them!

    After molt..DKS symptoms

    Casey, thank you so much for this info, greatly appreciated! I did pre kill crickets but there was no interest. Observing the last few days, it seems to be worse and very unstable. Definitely unable to stand over the shallow water dish or even steer into the hide. I think that I will take your...

    After molt..DKS symptoms

    Yes, I have been looking for more to learn about it...just depressing that there is nothing else that I can help it with. I do enjoy this site and interesting discussions. It definitely helps me to keep my T's happy & healthy with new knowledge!

    After molt..DKS symptoms

    I keep 9 T's in my home office, the door is closed when I'm not home so "kitty" doesn't bother the enclosures. (This has been witnessed). Great ventilation with a ceiling fan and this room is at the end of the house. No issues and only use RO water for them. Just seems strange that all of a...

    After molt..DKS symptoms

    I have had this brachypelma smithi for about 2 years now, got it as a sling. Up until this last molt a few weeks ago, all was well. Feeding on crickets and dubia's alternatively. Suddenly this past week it has been very jerky in it's movements and also very jumpy, flicking legs wildly. Not...

    Feeding Slings

    I will see how I can capture them then..the “palmetto” roaches are very large with wings included! I don’t think that even my large B Smithi would want to tackle one! I will research the native species and try to colonize. Can they climb smooth plastic containers?

    Feeding Slings

    I live in SW FL. Long hike to GA! I guess my alternative would be cutting up the super worms my larger T’s do fine with large crickets. I used to feed Dubia’s Before moving to FL.
