Christ no..spiders are the worst option everytime....even I think it's insane to not KILL the little fuckers on sight... really? you're the insane one. you don't need to kill any spiders! a little bit of education will do just fine. I took all of my sister's kids and showed them The black widow. I showed them what the webs look like. and I told them if they see a spider or webbing that looks like that to stay away from it. the black widow is very shy. she will do what she can to avoid you. if you get bit it's pretty much your own fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini_ghost420 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 but to me, this goes beyond just spiders. we have to share this world with other creatures. killing for food or other necessity is one thing but we should not kill ANYTHING for our own convenience or just because it's "scary" and we don't like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 That's nice I suppose, but I wouldn't keep venomous things in my house. Creepy crawly things, especially venomous creepy crawlies, are subject to immediate unrestricted chemical warfare in my house. And my big shoe.

Mini_ghost420 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Good because most insecticide doesn't kill them. but it does give them nerve damage and make them aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'm still looking for a cheap Brachypelma Auratum man.. If I could find some spiderlings for sale they'd probably be cheap. Maybe I should just go with a versicolor idk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Versicolor is good. they are really docile and it's rare if they even threat posture. but they like to climb so they need a tall terrarium, not a wide one and have a high humidity requirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It's honeslty just too hard to decide the purple pink toe looks awesome Avicularia purpurea I could probably just make do with a mexican redknee though. I could get a 1/2 inch spiderling for $30 bucks and I wont have to worry about making an arborial terarium.. or keeping the humidity too high.. Problem is theres too many awesome looking tarantulas and they can live up to twenty years. >_> I only want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Avicularia are also very fast and can jump and bolt off very quickly. IDK if you'd like that. I know a lot about Avicularia I have a few of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'm leaning towards the versicolor if I get one any time soon. I would get the red knee the smithi.. but when it comes to tarantulas I'm really not as afraid to handle them as a really venomous spider like the widow.. I'm leaning towards this http://www.net-bug.net/apps/webstore/products/show/2449496 but idk.. it's a hard decision, but I have a thing for blue and black.. either that or just get the smithi, but idk maybe if I do good with the the caribeans versicolor I'll get another. I'll need a hydrometer for sure if I get the caribeana Versicolor though huh? One guy said people have a harder time keeping it alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 yeah, you'll need a hydrometer for sure. anything below 75% humidity kills them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 fuck.. well I've watched some vids and done some research. All you have to do is keep a big water dish with a rock so it doesnt accidentally drown itself, and dampin the substrate routinely. The guy that said people have problems keeping them alive suggested a well ventilated container because if you dampin it a lot it will get stagnate without ventilation and that's where alot of people go wrong. Not sure if I trust myself now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_ghost420 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I get terrariums made by Exo-Terra® because they are made to be well ventilated. they make it pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Would you happen to know if Caribena Versicolors change colors when they are adults? on this it says Caribena Versicolor (Former Avicularia versicolor) Is the half inch baby I get going grow up and lose that all blue and black beautifulness? From what I've seen I think they change colors. so if I buy a spiderling from here it's going to look like the adult spider this guy shows in this video? That just confused the fuck out of me. Oh well. It must be crazy as fuck to see this thing molt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSinger Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 *Shudders* I'm not a fan of poisonous spiders of which there's a chance I'll actually run into. Black Widows are one of them. You can advise people to check their shoes regularly, but it's just not a habit most people have unless you live in tropical/desert areas, or Australia. The only reason I learned to do stuff like checking shoes or being cautious around areas in and outside my house that haven't been disturbed is due to locals getting fucked up by poisonous critters and making the news.
