I've been thinking about getting stickers but haven't nailed down my logo 100% yet. It never turns out right when I try to digitize it. I really need to order new business cards.
Better be a sticker or a business card in my next package! :p

And don't forget the cute little irminia poo on the side there. :p

OBTs just have a bad rep.

I think water bowls are more for flipping than drinking. She is getting pretty!! That next molt will be a good one. :)
Mine just kicked the Hell out of her hairs ( not once, but twice) when I just gave her water.

Psshht...Pinky (male urticans) has newly decorated his terrarium with his poo spatterings.

Just curious, how many stickers did you make? Whenever I go to shows, I always pick up new stickers from breeders tables.....I put them on my snake transport containers for some "flair" lol

Haha. A Pinktoe I had a long time ago had very good aim. He got me when I had him out :/

I got 50 of each. :)

yummy.....hopefully not in the mouth or nuthin lol.......I bet tarantula poo tastes none too good.

How do you make sure your T doesn't drown in the water bowl??
and would the size/type I'm lookin for even need a water bowl??

Just on my shirt. Haha. Then he jumped really far.

I'm wanting to add to the Avics collection.
And the Poeci collection and the Psalmos. And the... :p

I found mold in both the BF's vials. I put them back into the smaller vials they came in for now. The EM's vials seemed ok tho. I thought these guys were fossorial? No burrowing whatsoever from mine. I hate this genus but am deadset on growing them up. If they're females i'm never getting rid of them bc i know i'll never attempt to raise them again! Lol

GBB molted:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/06/mydy4uqu.jpg

Crystal: obts aren't bad at all. But if the speed scares you, get something from the ceratogyrus genus first, they're a bit slower, but still baboons and GREAT eaters. But really, you'd be fine with an obt i think. :)

Mine hasn't done anything Mike, no digging at all. And I agree, if you want a P. met, an OBT would be fine. But I'm just giving you a hard time :p

Good shot of the GBB! I need to pick up some from Damon soon.

I like mine. They aren't bashful with food at all. Mine has taken down some BIG roaches for its size lol. I'm not crazy about the baby colors but i know the adult colors will be cool. I still like baboons better though.

Hi, gentlemen.
I am fairly new here and been looking at this thread for awhile and now I finally received LP today ( Bought it from 3skulls) http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/06/y3u9a8aq.jpg

So here are some questions (sorry for rushing into it).

It is about an inch LP.
-What should I feed? (Or when should I start feeding?[I got it today])
-How do I regulate temperature and humidity for this deli cup?


And for G.rosea (about an palm-size)
Would large mealworm satisfy her?
And it's been about 2 weeks since I got her and she hasnt ate a single thing. I let her "starve" about a week but still wont eat..

That's wierd cause I'm digging the gbb baby colors more than the adults. Lol I hope mine stay small forever. I've only got 2 or 3 gbb left then ill have to reup if they are still on sale lol. I'm torn between investing in more of them or getting that venders left over stock.

Welcome to the addiction louie! Rich is a great guy to deal with and he will be able to help you with the lp better than I can. But the rosea should get 1 to 2 crickets a week. I'd say large meal worms would be about the same I'd probably go with 2-3 meal worms if she'll eat for you. I have problems over feeding some of my Ts its just so cute to watch the little tikes tackle stuff!

I had the misfortune of loosing one of my A. laetas in her water bowl. Now I don't put one in until they are 2" + if you do make sure its very shallow and no bigger diameter than there body. I like using 1 ounce portion cup lids for my 2" Ts.

As for heat and humidity I keep all off mine in a climate controled room. Constant 78F and 65% humidity and from there its pretty easy to boost any that need higher by misting and or rearraning them closer to the heater.

Every time my daughter gets her sp red out it leaves a nice little surprise in her hand its friggin hilarious! She puts it away and chases her older sister around the house threatening to wipe T pooh on her.

Haha Damon nice :p and thank you Sir.

Louie, there she is!!!
LP...If you are feeding crickets, I would give her (I call them her when I don't know the sex. Wishful thinking) 1, once a week. The size should be about the same size as her abdomen. LPs are eating machines and will eat and eat and eat. I don't like "power feeding" them. They will get size quick enough. You can hold off a week for her to settle in and she will be fine.

The G. rosea... I would skip another week or two and try to feed again. Do this every 2 weeks. If she doesn't eat, take the prey item out after 24 hours. She looked nice and plump and you have no worries if she doesnt eat. They can go months and months. Just make sure she has water and she will be good to go. At that size, it will take longer to settle in. We talked about it before but let that substrate dry out and don't mess with her much. I wouldn't have any worry until you saw her abdomen shrinking in size.

I also keep all my Ts in a heated room with the humidity up some. Normal room temps will be fine 73-75. General rule is, if you can sit and be comfortable in a tshirt and shorts, your T will be comfortable. With the LPs (including her) I would spray about half the cup once a week. Let it dry out between sprays. I wouldn't soak it down, just make half of it damp. She also had a bottle cap for water. You dont have to fill the cap all the way. Just enough so she can get a drink every couple of days.

Enjoy her!!

Thanks again :)

Thank you so much Rich!
Yeah guess waiting is all I can do haha. Yeah im keeping track of humidity levels and temperature time to time just in case. Btw I bought some stands and created little "pet room" for Ts and bp. Keeping down noice level for themhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/06/6uhuvyte.jpg pretty darn neat.

It is about 75F and 76%
I actually purchased another pack of coconut husk from petco bc they were pretty dried up..mhm. idk how drier they like.


Sorry for the long post:p

Watch out!! that room will be full in no time :p

Looking like a long weekend.
Roaches, Tarantulas and Snakes! Oh my!

Gbb and versi molted, heres the former:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/07/nynegaqu.jpg

OBT will probably be getting an enclosure upgrade. Boehmei is due to molt soon too. NC's are all doing pretty well.

Wow the ORB expo in Hilliard Ohio was horrible! New shows are always slow and last time was pretty bad but I think this will be our last attempt at that one. 18 venders 5 of which left at noon. Less than 250 people through the doors. That's an estimated # on attendees. Ill see if I can get an actual later. Monica sold a grand total of 2 Ts. A vagans sling and an adult red zebra. So today definitely didn't pay for itself. Hopefully we do better at the new show in Charleston, WV next Saturday and the Cheswick, pa show on Sunday.

Damn that sounds like a bust.

I felt like crap all day and didn't get anything done. It's going to make tomorrow a long day.

Man I've learned that when im sick the worst thing for me is to do nothing. It makes me feel worse. If I make myself get up and moving I start to feel better within an hour or two. Especially if i'm doing something I enjoy. I haven't taken a sick day in my life. Now I've been sent home because I was grossing people out by puking in the trash can in between task. But I've never taken a sick day! Lol

I'm the same way damon. I'm pretty sure i don't have any super powers but i really seem to bounce back from being sick faster. Just knowing your body helps. I've found the same thing, if its just a cold or something similar and i take it easy all day, i'll feel even worse. If i stay busy all day i'll get tired and be able to sleep even if i'm stuffed up. And if i don't have work the next morning i chug robistussen or nyquil haha!

I haven't missed a day of work in 12+ years and most of the time I bounce back in a couple days. :/

Our generation is like that I think. I work with a lot of younger guys that always seem to need time off when they get a tummy ache! Lol. Hope you're feeling better man.

I rescued another mantis. It was feisty as all get out. Took a minute but realized why. He was missing half of a front leg. Looked fresh. Hope he makes it. I turned him loose and he flew off pretty quick.

There is a guy in one of the facebook groups. Nothing but legs, hes giving away 150 B.albo slings to whoever wins. I tried taging you in it rich but guessin I can't tag business pages

Nah i saw it too. Who would hack AB lmao??

Spammers would be my only guess or some teenager just to see if they could.

I bet they were just updating or something.

LP is molting
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/09/une4ary3.jpg

I guess they were hacked.

That's cool in a geeky sort of way, but aweful from the normal perspective of things

Hey Meph, saw your message on iHerp. My girl is the one who does that page. :p

That's so cool. I always miss mine molting

today's rescue pic. He was fiesty but guess I'd be too if I recently had an arm ripped off!

Where I found him:

Set him free same place as the last one:

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...pscb81f620.jpg

Yea i usually miss mine too. Always come in on the tail end of it. I've never caught any of them on their backs.

That's awesome Damon. I almost never see adults around here.

I tried to get some pics of the molt with the real camera. Haven't looked at them yet. It was really cool to watch.
My middle size irminia molted but I couldn't sex it. Can't wait to see it.

Might have some exciting stuff coming in. I'll post them up in a few days.
