I picked one that was kinda squirmy. I dropped it in and nudge it towards the T. Then it ran a little bit and she pounced on it. She refused this week so i think shes gunna molt soon! :D

Sorry I missed your post carlson.

Well, I think I have a pretty good start to my web page.
I'm not sure the rules of promoting yourself outside of the classifieds.

I have a link in my signature and profile :)
I talk you guys and gals in here the most so I would like your opinions. :o

Post a link, can't see it on Tapatalk.

You're NOT trying to sell anything, just asking for feedback on your website. So
yes, you can post the link. :gj:

I like the color and simple layout. Looks good so far!

Suggestions:

Add an "about me" page. I'd also add a "collections" page showing off your T's and snakes in ur collection. Add a little intro on the homepage just briefly stating who you are and what you do (as a business). All the pictures on the site are your too, right? I didn't see watermarks but i was on my phone. Might wanna add them just so people cant steal your pics, unless you don't care lol.

Thats all i got from looking at it quickly. :)

Cool thanks!!

We plan on doing a collection page type of thing for the snakes for sure. I want people to see the parents and breeding plans / goals.
I need to get more "real" photos so I can add them. There are watermarks, might be hard to see on the phone.

A bunch of work an ideas still. It's hard to do without the Internet :p Was just playing around trying figure out a layout.

I want it simple and clean.
Had to get something set up before for these eggs hatch :D

Thank for checking it out and the feedback Mike!!

It will be cool watching them grow from such a small size. :)

Good luck with them! That's gonna be fun once they all get their own enclosures

Hey just checked out the site, looks good, I like that its simple and everything is at the top I recently visited a site where all the links were on the bottom (home, snakes, etc.) didn't like that layout.

Other than getting photos added the only thing I might suggest (not sure if you can even change it) but when you click on a specific animal to buy it opens another tab instead could it just redirect the first page? After you click to add something to cart it then opens another tab and shows your cart which is fine but then you have 3 tabs open for one site. Not a big deal IMO..just a suggestion

Also maybe just a little more of a description esp. for the different types of T's like arboreal, or burrower. Adult enclosure sizes with a link to your recommended enclosure that you sell;)

Another suggestion lol, I really like your banner (the pics of diff snakes and t's) on the home page I think it would look good at the very top on all pages maybe put the links below it straight across then your logo?

Wow. Awesome feedback!
I can have everything open within the same tab, I was thinking it might help if someone was comparing. I'll put some more thought into that for sure.

Working on full details of each animal, I just threw up the little info that is there to see how the lay out looks.

I was thinking of putting "great webber"
"Long lived" "arboreal" etc. in the spot where I have (coming soon). Just an eye catcher for people window shopping.

I can try putting the banner at the very top but I'm not sure if I can.

Maybe make a banner of all Tarantulas for the T page, all snakes for the snake page etc??

Linking an animal to a suggested enclosure is a great idea :)

I really need to get some photo sessions in soon!!!

Thanks for kind words and checking it out.

No problem!

That's not a bad idea for comparing to have different tabs. The seperate banners is a good idea too. The great webber, arboreal description would be nice under the pic.

If you sell your own mixture of substrate you could link it if you use different like the enclosures, or sell enclosure "kits" all you need for said T. Could be just for adults or sling to adult kit with diff size enclosures. That would be really convenient buy a spider and everything you need for its life except food, more substrate, and enclosure accessories.

The basics are all there and it loaded quickly for me, slow overdone sites can be annoying!

Looks good!

Thanks again!

I'm not sure if ill have any time to work on it today. I need to sneak off and find some wifi :p

So the bug room just got more room :)

I want an Avic too, Metallica I think. Gotta get the noob stuff knocked off. I want a baboon too actually was looking at the horned ones people say their mellower.

Been reading a lot about the darlingi. I think they are going to be a pretty cool spider

The thread on them over on Ab got me looking at them, seems like they do the cool burrowing an all that like the Obt but aren't as nutso as them and they look cool as crap. Lol so I'm probably saying if you get to where you wanna sell any pm me :) haha

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/28/tavepajy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/28/gugeqyta.jpg the girls gotta be prego their getting huge an starting to gap a little in their abdomen

I've been a tarantula keeper for 10 years now :) I've kept my share of species and currently have 15 in my possession. Next month is the annual bug fair in Los Angeles which I'm hoping to go to and maybe pick up a new critter or 2 which I have some in mind as to what I'm looking for.

@carlson I'm sure I'm reading that same thread :p
It does appear that they might be a little calmer than an OBT. I'm sure ill be letting most of them go, I wish I could keep them all.
Tomorrow will be my first feeding with them. They look like they will try to get out when I open the lid.

@snakeman
Feel free to post some pics. We already know you have an awesome ornata :D

Between ab and YouTube they seem like a good first baboon before an Obt haha. Good luck feeding! The golden is still under there idk if she has come out the mound in front looks bigger but I see no exit lol. If i don't see her out by Wednesday should I add a dead roach?

Yeah you can try that. At that size they will dig and hide. 3-4 molts and she will start to always be out.

Sneak in after lights out and you might be able to catch her out.
If I see any molts in mine ill let you know. I'll be playing around in the bug room tomorrow.

Most of my pics are on FB haha. It's a drag to have to go through them, save the ones I wanna show, upload them to photobucket, then copy/paste the link and show them here. Maybe I'll do a couple.

K I figured she would hide alot at that size I just don't wanna starve her lol ill toss in a small dead one Wednesday an see if it gets taken. Will they reseal the entrance when they go back in? I know she's busy in there the dirt can only be coming from under the wood hide
