all of my Ts are on silkworms now... and loving them. none of them are problem feeders at all. it took some of them a little while to accept silkworms as a prey item... but now they gobble them down as soon as they hit the enclosure. i love the fact that the silkies never both the T so if they are moulting and i don't notice... i dont have to try to get it out like you do with crickets.

Nice pictures. The only problem I've ever had with getting silkworms was feeding them all off :P

Are you interested in an N. chromatus immature male at all?

Nice shots!


I hardly see my baboons at all any more :(

Man I LOVE those pokies! Mighty purdy metallica!

WOW.......super nice!

That is a huge butt on that one.........LOL


I too am very fond of the P. metallica!........:)

ya my metallica is blueing up nicely. she's still tiny though.

schlyne, i'm in canada sorry. :(

Oh well, either I will find a home for the little guy or I'll end up keeping him.

if you want to just get rid of him... i have a suggestion for ya. pm me. :)

I am currently accepting T's :P

cool... just think you tell everyone a caveman in Au Pied du Cochon is raising your T!!!

Hi,


Was trying to learn how to work a borrowed digital camera and managed to grab these shots of my female red knee;

I've had her for about 8 years now and she is a total sweetheart. She has been used in a few tv shows as I occasionally get asked to help out in that area.


dr del

isn't she goooorgeous!!!

Thank you :)


She's the only one I have left now - used to have a zebra and a white knee as well as an emperor scorpion.

The white knee was the most placid spider I have ever seen - you could place your thumb on her and roll her over onto her back.I eventually sold her though as they are quite small and dull coloured and I planned on getting somehting a little more animated.Then I moved into a smaller flat and had to cut back :(

The zebra came into the shop while I worked there as an adult (her not me) and I fell in love. She died 5 years later though sadly.

The scorpion I was looking after for a friend who went on holiday to new orleans for 6 months.

By the time he came home (six years later!! - he sent his g/f home and got a job within the first month, she was not a happy bunny when we met her at the airport) she had also died.It was scary - she'd bin getting less and less energetic (and they are never exactly manic) and I had got into the habit of poking her every morning to see if she was still with us. Then one night she seemed really excited - walking all around her tank, then one of her legs fell off :eek: .She didnt even stop:confused:


I phoned the vet and he said that as she wasnt leaking from the joint she would be ok till the next morning when he could see her.He was wrong when I went through in the morning she was toast.

Since then I've bin mainly concentrating on snakes with the occasional dabble in lizards ( I can give it up any time I want I swear).

Here's another pic of me darlin;
