That's!!! I like the versicolors A LOT and aboreals in general for that matter :D She is not that friendly so I don't think she likes me or anyone else much though :rofl:

Thanks!!! My wife is not a big fan of creepy crawlies at all. She tolerates them because I like them but does not mess with any of them at all - lol. She will glance in a cage though every once in a GREAT while :)

Thanks!! No those are not real plants, I use fake ones - lol. I was thinking about it but don't want to mess with special bulbs and if the plants happen to die I would have to take them out and re-do the enclosure (and if webbing was attached I would have to break it) etc. So I just decided fake was eaiser - lol. Oh, and I got a very good deal on her because I picked her up and bought her from a friend of mine in Philly :gj:

I know of people who have had good luck with live plants and make beautiful enclosures so don't give up just yet!! I am still considering live plants as an option some day but at the moment fake is just way eaiser - lol.
As for the A. brocklehursti, I have never kept one so I don't know. If they are like an A. geniculata then they will lay webbing down just not heavily. I have fake plants in my genics enclosure and she has ripped them down. I will need to tact them up with hot glueso she stops destroying everything - lol.

Yes and super worms. I just put in an order for some B. dubia roaches to start breeding them because I hate the sound and smell of crickets. I am getting 60 males, 80 females and 700 unsexed dubias to start my colony and they are shipping out tomorrow. No more crickets unless I have a stubborn feeder :banana:

I am not really into spiders, but it is so fluffy!

hahaha sounds like my fish but he eats the live plants.punk.

i hate crickets too man.so annoying and smelly and they look at you. id like to start a dubia colony too but id see myself with more dubia that i know what to do with.i dont think 23 c.sculptaratus'(downgrade to 11 after summer),two emperors,and two t slings would put a dent in a colony.:(stupid crix
