Good question.

I would give her another week to settle in. She had a good size meal when I fed them. They each had a dubia that first week I had them.

Next I would try crushing the head just a little, almost dead but still moving. Then place it in its web up top.

The others that are still here have tiny butts too. Don't expect them to be plump like a B. smithi would be.

Get a pic if you can and we can compare.

Mike, Damon have yours ate?
They did go from person to person to person in a short amount of time.

If you feel her cage is to large I can send you up one of the vials I got in.

Keep me updated.

Both of mine have eaten 1 pinhead each. But I fed pretty much like you described above. One has webbed up pretty well and I just dropped its cricket in the web and it was gone the next day. The other I had to try twice to get it to eat. Ended up having to wound it so it didn't have to chase it around so much.

Skulls once the tank cash is back we will have to get the order running :)

Lmao. The kids were cleaning skinny pig cages and found a 2 inch hissing roach hiding under the fleece. I sold all of the hissing nymphs I had last month at the Richmond, IN show. They were all 1/2"-3/4" at the time. That thing has been eating good! I won't have to feed my az blonde for a few days she tore that thing up! Lol

Haha I always worry a roach will escape. My male dubias have huge wings now an I believe they have been re populating in this warm weather. Did your hissers hiss randomly at times it seems? When im in my room ill hear one or too hiss randomly not sure why

What are skinny pigs.

I see adult males out on their back from time to time. But my roach tubs are open and when I'm doing orders I'm sure I have dropped one :o

Soon my house will be just one small Eco system. :p

Bald ginny pigs!.lol

Oooh my Carpets love Guinea pigs

I know lol spendy tho. My girl normally eats a adult male rat. Not sure how big she can take, I tossed in a 120g rat that a ball refused. Never again that small she struck off her perch an landed on it, it was like a car ripped it apart an flatted it ha.

Yea they used to hiss randomly. I don't have them anymore. I traded the adult colony for T's and sold all the nymphs. The wife wasn't a fan of keeping them so they had to go.

So does my big dumerils girl! But skinny pigs are to expensive to feed to a snake. I retail them at $125-$150 and the rare occasion ill wholesale them at $75. I do sell retired normal breeder guinea pigs as feeders.

Need any jags to ad to your collection? I'm tired of getting bit by this one female I've got. Lol she's gorgeous but I'm starting to give up on the idea of her looks out weighing her attitude.

Send me a pic an her info.
Do you know her bloodlines?

I'm really trying to hold off on snakes right now because of all the babies.

Damon, do you have ur own pet store?

:tears: not yet. I've got a regular table at 4 different expos and I wholesale to a few pet stores around my area. I'm trying to get a retail location but haven't found a suitable one in my budget yet. I have no spare rooms in my house for animals. My garage is packed with misc. supplies and caging. I have a 20'x40' pole barn divided into 2 rooms one side is finished and I use it for my reptiles and the other I hope to finish next year and use it as my mammal breeding room.

Skulls: ill have to get that pic in a few days she's in shed and looks like hell right now. Ill pm the info I have on her and an older pic here after bit. Gotta go seperate some chinchillas right now. Lol

C. darlingi feeding night!
I wish these guys had some size already.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/26/ara4e3yz.jpg

80% of them have this 2 tunnel system going. With a peak in the middle.

Making them little homes for some that I'm going to hold back.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/26/8utezame.jpg

I still want one! Next order tho lol

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

They will have a little size by then :)

So far they have been super easy. When I open them up, they hide.
Now once they get some size..?

I want to see what they do in something other than the little cups.

Crystal, here is the best shot I could get of some versi butt.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/26/zugubena.jpg

I didn't want to get them out again.

I love the look of that grass stuff, 3skulls. I gotta head to Hobby Lobby some time.

It comes in a pretty good clump.
I looked for you and I don't have a sticker on it anymore, so I'm not sure what its called.

I think it looks pretty good and it gives them lots of anchor points :)

Harmar House cheswick, PA
Columbus, OH
Hilliard, OH ORBE
Washington, PA Steele City

Still trying to get a table at Cleveland, OH but they are always slammed with vendors, and I could have a regular table at the cin city show in Cincinnati, OH but we didn't do so well there and its a long drive so still thinking on that one. Had about the same luck at Richmond, IN also. I want to do tinley park, Hamburg, pa, and white plains shows in the future but my schedule dont jive with those shows and its way to far for the wife to do alone.

Someday! Hopefully when I get a store front ill be able to get to all of the shows I want. But roughnecking is paying the bills and supporting my animal addiction so it'll be a while yet. If you ever make it to the smaller shows look for B.F.E. Pets and Supply that's us!

Before I die, I'm going to meet everyone in real life. But not like one on one. We should all make it out to Tinley Park and eat and walk around.

We are hoping to make it there in October.

Crystal,those skulls would look really cool all webbed up!

I have been saving up some stuff for a bone yard enclosure :p
I'm glad your versi ate!!
Now we all just have to see if they keep the same molt schedule.

Ok, working on a short wish list.

Stromatopelma calceatum
Haplopelma minax
Heteroscodra maculata
Lamproplelma violaceopes
Xenrsthis immanis

Haha. Sometimes I walk around and say scientific names out loud. I just don't talk to enough people (in person) about Ts. I'm not good at saying them at all.
