My wish list is simple. One of everything. But gbb is at the top and then just start in alphabetical order. Lol

Do any of you know if there will be some good T vendors at the Daytona show?

And holy crap the meridionalis is a psycho! I thought my OBT redecorated a lot quickly. This guy gutted the place, put in all new furnishings, appliances and furniture, and even hung drapes of dirt webbing all over. He also just filled in the pool (water dish), i guess he didn't wanna have to pay the insurance for it... Luckily i could see him in the partial burrow he's started to dig himself. After 1 molt he'll be read for a bigger enclosure for sure. (Same goes for the bigger vagans).

Nice Mike!! You already got the free baby dubia. I'll have to check mine.

Yeah that guy has done some work, looks like I might need a few of those :p

Sweet!

I need to add a few more from the ceratogyrus genus for sure. I love this guy, so much personality lol!

P.metallica molted :3

Where's the T lol?! Thats what i wanna see!

He's hiding. Like always

Found this somewhere. Thought it was interesting that they said dubias should be treats even though their protein is way higher content. :confused:

No source was provided though so idk :p

Im so jealous Mike! I thought my bb versi would molt first :p
And thanks for the info on the feeder insects...very interesting
sent from my incubator

Where did you find the chart? What are they talking about feeding?

It's odd that mealworms are much higher in fat but they don't say they should be "treats".

I was on arachnoboards and clicked a link and it was posted on that forum.

I thought the same exact thing, skulls. I think it must be old or something....

Crickets seem to be their choice. The treats are labled weird if you look at dubia to the top crickets besides protein and fat in brown they seem like if dubia are treats on that scale black crickets should be. But im sleepy an may make zero sense haha

Yea it really just confused me bc it basically contradicted itself lol.

It does cuz their are things higher than everything than the dubias. Guessing they sell crickets is why haha

Haha that's what I was thinking.

H. Lividum are surprisingly cheap. ;0 That's not good, cause cheap and dangerous mean bad things for me lol.

H. lividum is not a good first T.

Read up on that one first. :p

Oh, no. I know their not a good first T. Or a second. Lol.

Verrry aggressive and never seen.

What do you want in a T, kodie?

A really exotic colored one. That's really the only expectations I have.

I know versi's won't be iridescent blue always, but that's why my second is gonna hopefully be an purpurea.

My vote would be on a GBB, Kodieh. They're gorgeous and a good beginner species.

I had to let my wolf spider momma and her babies go yesterday.....:( I didnt want to, but hubby was really firm on it, and i did agree to release her after i saw babies. Plus, u dont want to ruin any future T additions :p. I chose a spot in my back yard under some trees with lots of rotting splitting logs n branches. She was such a good momma too, cuz when she ran out of the container, some of the babies fell off, and she totally stopped and waited till they all climbed back on before scurrying away. I really didnt want to see them go tho...i felt like i was letting an amazing little miracle slip away from my hands. Glad i got pics.

Now you know you'll have a nice population of Wolfs out back :)

It does suck letting them go but babies that small are a lot of work.

Yeah, its prob for the best.

I paid $45 for mine.

I think they are around 30-45 range.

How impossible would it be to find a sling? I found .75" ones on ken the bug guys site.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I haven't seen any slings anywhere. Are you just wanting something a little bigger than a baby? 1" + ?

I'm just browsing right now, but yeah, I'd want to see it grow.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If you come across any crazy deals, let us know. I have been looking for a wholesale lot but find nothing.
Just about got a breeding pair but the male almost always dies before he gets to mate.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/16/vumagy9u.jpg lives in my kitchen keep seeing him roaming around my counter. Do they eat ants? I see less

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

Hard to tell but maybe a Parsons spider.

http://bugguide.net/node/view/2041/bgimage

I think they would take down ants.
Also look up Ant Mimics.

It's about ant sized. My house is filled with jumping spiders lol

Everywhere I go look has "shut down live sales" or "stopped shipping" in favor of referring everyone over to Ken.

I guess you'd have to have a good rep for that to happen. Gonna fauna/google review him and see whats up. He's pretty spot on as far as GBB's go in price.

What do you mean by that? No one else is shipping or selling Ts?

I have ordered from Ken before. Seems like a good guy but when my sub adult versi came in, the packing sucked. Maybe a new guy packing.

I was mainly looking at people who referenced the scientific name of GBB and were selling. But, yeah, lie four sites referred to ken for sales.

What sites are you talking about kodie? I'm confused by what you mean...

I'd order from pet center usa. Get a 3/4" GBB for $35 plus its gunna be $30-35 for shipping. But since you spent $25 you'll get a free B. vagans too. :gj:

http://petcenter.info/petcenterstore...ort=20a&page=4

Don't forget to add the freebie vagans to your cart too! ;)

I'll PM links later.

You can post them, i don't think you'd be breaking any rules... I'm sure rich is wondering too lol

The wife and I are playing video games before we go out to anniversary dinner and movie. ;) or I would post links now.
