Same with my spiders, if they don't want to eat they just ignore the cricks until I remove them the next morning. My Salmon Pink will eat almost every time I feed him, being it every day or just 3 times a week, depending on how close he is to molt. But in general, I feed 3 times per week and write i...

Merle Munnik, Die Burger Uitenhage - A fun family outing to a local resort turned into a nightmare after a snake bit their five-month-old baby on the head. The quick action of the father, who immediately started sucking out the poison, probably saved Linley Pieters's life. "I don't know what wo...

Veterinarians at Antwerp's Aquatopia had sought to treat the animal's problem, but decided removal was the only solution because of the risk of infectio...

Very nice! How big is he/she now? Little bigger than a R5 coin right now. I bought her (I hope!) at the reptile show about 2 months ago. The guy said that they would grow extremely fast and moult frequently. The Salmon Pink is a huge difference from the Chilean Rose I have. It is much more aggressi...

Danga did any of the eggs hatch in the end? Noticed a big rain spider making friends with my lounge curtains on Sunday night as well - it now seems to have disappeared. Hopefully it will not reappear on me ;) The eggs just dried out. She had another batch but in the end I had to remove it as she wo...

Just to give you guys an update on what she looks like now!! She eats everything I put in her enclosure. This was taken after she had a nice supper of a beetle and a moth!
