Tarantulas and Spiders

Don't spray unless the substrate is dry. Humid doesn't equal constantly moist.

Sliced baby carrots coated in rich's roach food. Because i have nothing better to do than prepare gourmet meals for them haha!


Still working down in the basement. Might be able to get the roaches and T's moved down there tonite. Snakes will probably be next weekend. I got a bigger tub for the roaches too. Not having to cut the cardboard flats will be nice.

Whats left of the carrots after only 2hrs... I'm tellin you, i think rich puts crack in that powdered roach food. They go NUTS for it! If you have dubias shoot him a PM and buy a small baggy to try it. You wont regret the feeding response and your roaches will thank you for it. I love seeing plump happy roaches and my T's love them too!


Soooo i moved the T's down to the basement. This is my whole collection, Look how much more room i got!


Ok no really, look how much more room
I got!!! Time to get some more T's!!!


Doolittle when are you coming over to visit?? I'll set up a cot for you in the T/Roach/Snake "room"!!! : rofl:

Time to move the roaches to a bigger tub. Any suggestions on another breed of roach i could get to put in the dubias old tub???

Haha Mike! They freaking go nuts for the chow, I'm going through a ton of it now.

Lots of room there for tons of more goodies!

2hrs and it was gone! Thats why i only give it to them like every 3 feedings. Its like they just scarf it down, they don't even savor it! Lol!

Yep, definitely lots of room to expand!

Yeahhhh. Right after you set up a cot in the barn. Or better yet, stall.

Some pics.

Roaches in their new home. (Without any of the amenities put in lol).

A few big booty roach ladies:



If anyone is looking to step up into OW's i really recommend something Ceratogyrus. Not as fast as obts and theyre awesome burrowers. They're pretty good webbers too. They remind me of little dwarves. I'm not sure on venom potency but unless you're transferring them they'd much rather run into their tunnels.




This is all you ever see of an H. lividium lol. Im shining the light in and u can just see the butt. Basically a pet hole lol.


Emerald skeleton. Finally starting to web up a bit.


Big irminia girl from Dr. Damon!


B. boehmei growing well and looking nice. Him, my pulchra, and gbb will all start getting some SWEET adult colors after their next molts!


And finally the obt enclosure. I transferred it recently. I took a bunch of wood chunks and dropped them in and put that cork bark in diagonally and said "lets see what you got!" He was pissed and hid down in the wood for like a week but finally came out and got to work. I had to drop his roaches down into him haha. I think its badass that hes thriving in this setup now though!!

I wish mine would get busy webbing...maye it's getting ready to molt??

Sometimes in the beginning you cant see the webs well. Try shining a flashlight and see if u see anything. Add a few more sticks in there for anchor points and that might encourage him to web. More anchor points might make him feel more secure
