Hi, so I tried just keeping an adult male Thesprotia graminis in my hissing roach enclosure at first and he out lived all my other males so I decided to try it in my other roach enclosures and so far theyve all done really well. Right now I have a bunch of Hierodula patellifera nymphs in with my...

Hi, I have 2 Hierodula patellifera ootheca for sale for $15 each plus $5 for shipping(US only). These ootheca are from 2 different females and Ive had ootheca from both already hatch so Im certain there both fertile. I can acept paypal, cash, check or money order. Pm if your interested and well...

Hi, if you still have some left next week we can release some in my yard. I think it might be cool to release them right before you turn the lights on so you can watch them run around and feed on the bugs atracted to it all night :P

Nice pics :)

Very cool, can the spikes on them cut you?

Its funny how most the mantid people say its fine to feed them wild caught insects but if you asked on a tarantula forum you would get the total opposite response, they will tell you you should never do it and your risking parasites or poisoning your pets. I will feed wild caught insects to my...

Hi, gratz! Wow 9 months is a long time, is that how long it takes for the eggs to hatch normaly or are you counting the time it took to breed them and all that also?

Hi Bill, welcome to the forum.

Why not feed them iceberg lettuce?

HI, I got a few more pics of em today.

Ya I found out last night that the first one is a type of leaf footed bug, I thought it was an assasin cause of the way its mouth parts look. I also found some of what Im pretty sure are wheelbug nymphs.

Hi, I was doing some yard work yesterday and came across a group of assasin bugs, but then I went out again this morning and found 3 more species of them right in my backyard. I really know almost nothing about them so If any one knows of any good websites or anything like that for info on them...

Hi, Welcome to the forum!

Hi, You could try putting it in an ICU other than that theres not much really much you can do besides just keeping it normally and hopeing it pulls through. If you dont know what an ICU for tarantulas is heres a little video that explanes it, its not the best video but youll get the idea...

Hobby lobby has raffia grass for sure, I remember Yen saying hes seen it in walmart but I coulnt ever find it, but there all a little different so maybe you could get it there.

Ive noticed that without good enough ventilation mold always shows up, so sometimes if I just add a few pinholes it can help stop it before it gets to bad. The cultures I see at the petshop in those vials with caps on them always have mold in them but the mold goes away within a couple days once...

Lol I look crazy in that 1 pic :P That mealworm wasnt to tasty, maybe they should add nuts then you wouldnt notice the crunchy part as bad lol. Thx again for inviting me, I had a great time!

Very cool, gratz on all the new additions! I hope you have enough ff it looks like you need a ton lol. What do you do when they lay ootheca over each other? I had one do this recently and Im not to sure if I can safely seperate them or not.

Awsome, thx for letting us know Yen! As soon is it warms up outside Im gonna be breeding flys so maybe I can get some good tips from the show. I would think a culture made of dead bug parts would be pretty gross, I wonder how they keep mites and stuff like that out of it.

lol
