    Does anyone own a birupes simoroxigorum?

    I have absolutely fallen in love but I don't want to get one without knowing everything I can. Care: I don't know anything about them and I can't find much on them and the ones I'm interested are captive bred, so don't lynch me. '

    How to keep a nice pokie :D

    I still think they do better up above the head and I would love to find some good reference books for pokie care instead of just basics. :D

    How to keep a nice pokie :D

    I have a question... So its ok to keep an arboreal species on the bottom shelf? Wouldn't it be better to keep them higher up to help them feel a bit safer? Many video references show that the wild species, the bigger they are the slightly higher they are. Wouldn't this apply to captive...

    Villosella escape...

    @Hemolymph Sorry but I did miss the suggestion at the very bottom of Arachnoclown's post. I'm on my phone most of the time and trying to catch up to everyone responses and such. Also what would you call a place where art is created regularly? In Sweden we call it an art studio.

    Villosella escape...

    I'm back! Finally after xmas vacation. Now... Allow me to clear some things up. @Arachnoclown I don't live in a studio... I work in a studio. An art studio that is connected to my apartment, like an extra room that is built on the opposite side of the actual spare room. My spoods live...

    Villosella escape...

    I'm not sure but I think I found her. I need extra pair of eyes. Both the villosella and the husspindel have nearly the same markings and size as she was when the escape happened.

    DKS spreading?

    My husband has asthma... neither of us smoke and you can't smoke inside your apartment. You can't smoke on your balcony either. Room is temp controlled. Tomorrow or the day after Legs' results will be in from her autopsy. I did break down and send her out to Uppsala. I wanted to ensure...

    DKS spreading?

    Out side. They are directly linked. You can control the flow from outer air by the slit on the bottom. The bathroom vent sucks everything through the house back outside.

    Want a free trip to Sweden to help with my space?

    DKS spreading?

    Later, when my hubby gets up I will record the vacuum from pressure change. It's pretty cool.

    DKS spreading?

    Um... I live in Sweden... more middle to northern part. We don't even have rabies here. They aren't native to Sweden and where I live, we simply don't have them. Furthermore, I live on the second floor. Indoor only. So... we don't have a flea treatment here and my cats have always been...

    DKS spreading?

    Feeders, I got them from where I always get them. They raise their own colonies and that would only leave bacteria, mold, or fungus. I change water dishes and clean them every 7 days. Legs' test results will be in this coming Wednesday or Thursday. Her physical test showed she had been...

    DKS spreading?

    Currently Legs had been diagnosed with DKS and had passed away. Now I noticed two signs I'm not too thrilled in two more spiders. Sing and Teddy. Both on a shelf that was next to Legs'. Sing's back leg twitches while Teddy is lethargic. If they are the same by tomorrow after adding...

    Some time after her molt, she does this.....

    Yeah I know now. I already spoke to a vet about it after a good friend confirmed my suspicions. I was hoping bad fangs but not only did one friend shoot that down but another suggested what I was thinking in the back of my mind. 00:30 called the emergency clinic and sure enough evaluation of...

    Need confirmation...

    Absolutely. I just hope we're both right. To have a dominican purple female would be a dream.
