30" x 12". My Arizona Blond has never attempted to climb, so therefore I did not increase the depth of the soil.

I handle my Desert Blonde regularly. She seems to like the warmth of my hand. Does not stress her for sure. She is always chill

I love my Arizona Blonde. I recommend the Female. They live really long. They grow sloooowwwly. Mine is (I understand) at least 3 years old and is like 2 1/2 inches. I have her 4+ months. She had a big roach before I got her and has not eaten yet. This species is like that. I was...

Thanks all. I get it. Better to ask questions than winding up with a dead spider. I really enjoy her,

I handle my Blonde but very carefully. Never a chance of dropping her. Once she is on my hand she will just sit there for an hour if you let her. When I put her back in her enclosure she really does not want to crawl off my hand. I suspect the warmth of my hand has something to do with it...

72F. I am very careful about that. Thank you.

I have my arizona blond 2 months. She had a very fat belly when I got her. The store guy said she ate a large roach the day before I got her.She has a span of 1 1/2 inches. She seems healthy and is out on display a lot. I understand that in winter time they may not eat. I did recently put...

Really just stopped eating. Last couple days his legs worked overtime just moving around. He still looked great. I was very sad. Couple days ago I picked up a 2+ year old Desert Blonde Female for $50. What a sweetheart she is!! Life goes on.

Yea..thanks. I was leaning in that direction. Like in keeping fish: "A hungry fish is a happy fish" Thanks.

My Redleg is an adolescent. The roaches I have are almost as big as the abdomen. Is one a week enough. Also my adolescent pinktoe just will not eat. He is not in premolt, does not web but otherwise seems healthy. I have tried to feen him using a tweezer and also put him in a small...

Mine changed personality after molting. Became more timid. Did not want to b e handled. Now it willingly climbs on my hand and must be forcibly removed when I put him back. Mex. Redleg.

Thank-you octane junkie. Obviously handling him is a definite no-no. I have a rednee and I have him sit on my hand several times per week..I know..I know. He willingly climbs on my hand and then will sit on it until I get tired of holding him. I am over cautious of him falling. I carry him...

Thank you!!
