Yeah I get tired of writing the same thing over and over answering the same question. How hard is it to do a search?...then start asking questions on things you couldn't find.

I don't follow YouTubers, I do talk with breeders and I take their advice rather seriously.

My Method: Terrestrial Slings All my slings are kept in a cabinet with sliding glass front doors. The cabinet has been modified with the addition of a thermo regulator set at 79 degrees and a small ceramic space heater on the bottom shelf. A breeder was telling me the other day that he uses...

Yes its fine for a Tarantula to eat more then one prey item at a time.

I've heard that feeding small mammals or reptiles on a regular basis can result in a build up of calcium, resulting in problems moulting. I'd personally stick with feeding various feeder insects and not worry about it.

The boluses from such a tiny prey item will disappear into the substrate. The boluses of larger prey item roaches are going to a greyish color with bits of exoskeleton on the exterior.

I pop in once in awhile...It just takes weeks to get anyone to reply to queries and that can be frustrating. Good to see you again, see on AB. :cool:

In general, males will have much shorter lifespans than the females. Males tend to mature quicker than females from the same egg sac, natures way of limiting inbreeding within the species. Megaphobema - ~15 to 20 years for females Lasiodora - 12 to 15 years for females Nhandu - 10 to 20 years...

This stuff is from the tropics...you've got coral sand.

I have several cork bark items on my Amazon watch list. I check it a couple of times per week and when the price drops, that's when I buy...Don't buy just onesies and twosies...cause it'll be a while before the price drops again. I've noticed that when I do this, the price immediately shoots...

Slings are pretty forgiving...rehouse slings and they quickly recover and get back to business. As spiders get older they become less forgiving. I re-housed my Aphonopelma semanni back in November and it moped around for months, whined every day and called me names often. At the end of...
