Hello, although I am not new to the hobby I am new to the forum. I will be moving to Australia next year to be closer to family, unfortunately I will have to rehome my Ts to other hobbyists here (friends) Though I would not like to leave the hobby behind entirely, I know of Australia’s strict...

I bought 8 of these beetles from a friend on the weekend, they'll be here tomorrow if there's no delays. They're a type of Darkling Beetle so care should be pretty easy. I could set them up the same as mealworms I think, even use them as mealworms for feeding but I think I'll go with a more...

Belinda found these bugs in the Murray Mallee, they were hiding in a fallen branch that was decaying. I decided to keep them, reckless I know but they look even better than the pictures show. I took some of the inside of the wood with me thinking they might be detritus feeders. Once home I gave...

I thought I'd share some pictures of my scorpions in the one thread and include some notes on the species and their care.

Here are two of my Uradacus yaschenkoi babies , 2nd instar going by the chart in Mark Newtons book. I collected them myself from the Murray Mallee region in South Australia using pitfall traps. I set 7 traps, got 6 of these babies and one larger. I only had shallow tubs with me (individual kfc...

Come down the spiders hole with me! This thread will document my journey into the world of keeping Australian Tarantulas, from setting up my first enclosures and receiving my first slings to (hopefully) the successful mating of the grown adults in years to come.
