First, my A. avicularia ("Metallica" form) is not doing too well. Second, I discuss some notes and observations on my H. devamatha juvenile. Finally, some updates on the bioactive enclosures! 

We'll kick this one off with a quick update on my H. chilensis female. Then, we'll discuss one of my favorite spiders, Sericopelma sp. Santa Catalina. Finally, it's on to a discussion of Pseudhapalopus sp. blue. 

A discussion of some odd fasting and molting behavior I've noticed with my H. chilensis adult females. 

I've been getting a LOT of questions about substrate lately, so I briefly review some of my thoughts on the various types. Then, we discuss the husbandry for Theraphosa blondi. 

First off, a HUGE, heartfelt thank you to some folks who truly deserve it. Then, we talk about bioactive enclosures and the Nhandu tripepii.

To kick this one off, we discuss an obscure species...Crypsidromus sp. Costa Rica.  Then, we address why folks tend to experience more sling deaths in the winter months. Finally, an update on my Patreon page. 

We kick this one off with an update on my bioactives (Spoiler alert: I lost another plant!). Then, we'll discuss the C. cyaneopubescens as a beginner species. 

Also, some thoughts on Patreon, my Facebook absence, and breeding. 

Moving ahead, I'll be doing a series of husbandry podcasts, and my plan is to cover all the species I've kept alphabetically. And, what better way to kick this off than with an Aphonopelma review! 

It's that time again! It seems like every few months, the the age old debate over whether or not tarantulas "need" water dishes heats up. Long a proponent of giving Ts water dishes, I discuss my take on it. Also, some updates on my bioactive enclosures as well as a close call. 

This weekend, Billie and I rehoused the 10 P. metallica in my communal setup. What better way to calm down than to record a podcast minutes later! Also, some mysterious scorpion deaths...
