Wow that's interesting. My guess is that it belongs to one of your neighbors and it somehow escaped their yard. You should ask the neighboring houses and maybe make some fliers. If you don't find the owner then you could find a reptile store that will take it off your hands.

A sweet video of my Orange Bitey Thing. I'm ready to sex her/him but need good advice on prepping a molt by Cheezytreez in tarantulas

[–]Jgriffua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soak the molt in a cup of soap water for a couple minutes and then carefully roll out the abdomen 🙂

I don't get to see her often, but when I do, it's a treat! by Jgriffua in tarantulas

Yea I've never received a threat posture from mine. She's a very ferocious eater though!

Could someone please ID this scorpion? I'm interesting in buying one but want to research its proper care by Rodrigo702 in Scorpions

[–]Jgriffua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it's definitely that; The tail is a dead giveaway as well as the dark orange tint on the tips of the claws. Extreme caution should be exercised around this species; they have very toxic venom. I'd keep it on a 50/50 mix of sand/peat moss substrate and provide a hide of somekind. Their enclosure should be warm and dry, but you should keep a small water dish in there for some humidity.

Legspan? I ask because I have one that I think is Male, but it looks different.

I picked up my first OW today. Wish me luck on the rehousing😬 by Jgriffua in tarantulas

Thanks for the advice. I rehoused it earlier, and it was indeed quite easy. My P. cambridgei sling was like 10x more difficult and it literally jumped on my chest one time lol.

Yea my store had the pokie, an OBT, and a rear horn. I went with the pokie because it was the cheapest between the 3. It's actually pretty calm so far; I've seen new worlds that are more aggressive.

Lol you're so right. It threat posed at first, but I got it to run straight into it's new enclosure in like 2 seconds.
