Haizz... few days ago i go to 1 of the aquarium shop tangan gatal buy few koi as my home aquarium is empty.

Sekali goes buy 8 of them haaha. Now afraid no place to put when it grows. Haizz mayb need 2 use big blue container. hahahaha XD.....

Koi ( Malaysia koi, Sakura Koi, Tiger koi, Butterfly koi .... each kind 1 haaaha )

This is my beardie current size still extremely small still in shedding process.
He don't like people hold its tail so i grab it like i take hamster very active also but docile. He likes to stay out of the cage also. So i tie him like a dog and put him in my room sometimes in order prevent lost.

Finally i find 1 reptiglo 5.0 bulb currently using it.
I still cant find 75 w spot lamp haizz.
Maybe i need to change the calcium to non vit. B3 already.

My lost turtle also found ( the 1 in green )
lost record 1.5 month don't know what he eat during that time

And last tis is my ghost ( still don't want to eat fuzzy eat pinky only his 1 meal is more expensive than mine ) haaha XD.... 5 pinky per feed or more. Still very small ( not fat but long weird =.=" )

ghost sheding...

2010-07-05T00:01:00.000-07:00

My ghost baby shed 01 Jul 2010

Picture below enjoy =D

Skin shaded off

shaded of skin length ( no long ruler =.=" )

He is a good escaper

While just open the lid trying escape liao

I catch him back

he don want to go in so naughty

play with him for about half hour wait him tired baru la he wan go back

later that timbang time ( currently 22 g only after feed )

he is too hungry yawning for food when i 1st notice he shade

Ghost update ...

2010-06-27T19:11:00.000-07:00

One month ++ ( nearly 2 month ) already i own my very 1st corn snake "ghost motley"
He already shed 3 times total current weight 19g ( as is 17 gram in 3 weeks before SO SLOW )
This few weeks due to lack of pinky i reduce his food amount
Instead of 3 pinky per 6 days i reduce to 1 pink per 3 days
I tink this is the main reason why he still haven't shed
His size is possible for eating fuzzie already bt i try a few times he refuse to eat
so i still need to stick to pinky

AND THE MAIN POINT IS MY HAMMIES AND MICES TILL NOW STILL HAVEN PRODUCE ME ANY PINKY I AM RUN OUT OF STOCK AGAIN THE MOST I CAN STAND IS ONLY 2 WEEKS THE PINKY AMOUNT I LEFT

Hope he can faster shed so his mouth would become bigger and can swallow a fuzzie coz pinky is really hard to find this days.

.....

long long sheding process ...

2010-06-22T21:40:00.000-07:00

After week this process happen.

Shedding at first beardie refuse to eat or only eat a lil

Coz me lots of trouble ( ants ... LOTS OF THEM )

due to lots of left over food everyday spend hours to clean the cage

mayb my house got 2 many " ANTS "

I 1st notice sheding start as some skin peel off from its neck area about one week ago. Before that is the skin of the hind legs.

Then later in few days the whole body skin peel off ( still hanging at the tai connecting area )

It remains for about 1 day like that. During that time i spray him with water to smothen the skin.

the skin drop down slowly. He now can move already.

Most of the skin peel but still some on the tail and legs. This make the tank very dirty.

He start eating again but a bit one or two per day as i count the amount of meal worm feed.

It is how its skin looks like now.( looks spiky bt actually it is not )

He is quite hungry anf eat about 30++ mealworms with veggie

After that he climb up the rock to rest and enjoy the artificial sunlight ( haven find a dimer yet so temp is arnd 38C++ in less than 5 minutes from original temp of 28C ) i think he like tat maybe. I will find a dimer soon

END.....

RIP to my fish...

Beardie...

2010-06-17T01:39:00.000-07:00

Yesterday i receive some email asking me what i feed my juvi BD tat make it become fat so fast heehe adalah ....

Below is my daily routeline ^^

every mornin i bring the BD under sunlight for abt 20-30 min ( with blocking as direct sunlight can kill the lil BD as it's too hot until human also can't stand this days ^^ quote frm someone )

then later i bath him to cool him down ( dehydration prevention )

after that i put him back to cage with UV bulbs on for 30min with the food

I still can't find the basking spot beam 75W. Instead i got lots of Neodinium 60W bulb.

That why i need 2 expose my BD to some sunlight

After it enter it eat the food

Food feed before :

Insect: Mini meal worm, Mini roaches, Mini Cricket....

Vege: long bean, cabage, lettuce, spanish, alfafa, kangkong ...
Suppliment: repti-cal , protein powder ( heehe i used to feed the meal worm )....

then i left it there i back from work it is like this

^^ Empty dishes

It sleeps on my finger as it is a bit weak sheding in the moment ( back part legs and tail ... )

I also notice that tis lil BD can perform robotic dance heeehe i once see him wake up he turn his front feet 360 degree then the next one heehe later jump ... jump ... and jump ..... haaaha I think he also need 2 do exercise 2 .... XD.XD XD ...

If got chance nxt time i wana record down ....

Tat is o for today ....

PLEASE DO RESEARCH FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY ANY PETS.

COMMITEMENT IS NEEDED ONCE YOU OWN IT & NEED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT.

( PS I hate cicak T^T )

Waiting..... + 1 extra millipead

2010-05-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

Such a long wait still no skin coming out. Haizz already pass 8 days since he refuse his food.

He look very weak now

He curl into ring shape and leave his head out . Not moving at all only.

When's he going to shed.... should i try 2 feed him or should i wait till it shed....

He as not taken any food for about 12 days long already....

So confused......

Just now i try to feed him 7.00 PM i warm up n left the food inside he seems no interest... i wait for 30 min still no symptom lyk he wana eat.... i try to put the rat in front of him he instead escape.... haizz what should i do....

Is he not hungry or he don lyk the food.....

Haizz try again next tym...

As well today early morning i found a millipead in my room. I then caught and keep.

Haven't set up his habitat yet as just nw hurry to go work....

Black color one i seldom see this speces in Brunei pula.

It's around 4++ inch long as i measure just now.

Oso not sure what species it's...

2010-05-14T19:16:00.000-07:00

Problem again.....

15 May 0000 i try to feed my corn. I go sleep then.
In the mornin i found that it is not eating
The pinkie rosak oso...

I then take out the uneaten rotten pinky out of the tank.

Its smell stinks.

Since that ghost acting very strange. I never see him so active for this few days.

He collides with the wall very often and maybe trying to escape ( very very active!!! )

I then notice that his skin is changing dull and darker in color.

Maybe shedding is going to happen soon. MAYBE.

But his eye is very clear ( NO sight of cloudiness )

Or is there anything wrong happen to him?

Above picture is taken when i take him out for cleaning his container...

After cleaning the container i put him back, It is how he act.....

Contineu again next time.......

Thanks to Tgeek97

Scientific name: Brazilopelma colloratvillosum
Current Size: around + - 50 cents

Description:
The Brazilian Black and White Tarantula is like a larger, slightly more aggressive version of the Brazilian Whiteknee Tarantula. It's also known as Nhandu Coloratovillosus.This species is more suited for the Tarantula veteran than a novice caretaker.

The Brazilian Black and White Tarantula, much like the Brazilian Whiteknee Tarantula, is highly sought after for its size and beauty. It can grow to a monstrous 9 inches in size and is captivatingly beautiful. This spider is not easily handled and would do best with someone who really knows how to handle such a large, impressive specimen without angering it. Prohibitively slightly expensive, but well worth the cost, the Brazilian Black and White Tarantula is something of a Holy Grail for Tarantula enthusiasts and will be the centerpiece of any spider collection. You should always consult an expert before attempting to handle this tarantula. This is a terrestrial spider and does not burrow nearly as much as its cousin the Brazilian Whiteknee Tarantula. Thus, you will be able to view this magnificent spider whenever you like. A big problem can be obtaining this spider in the United States, as it is not commonly found in America. You may find it for export in a few places in Europe, which will add to the already high price. Again, this spider is recommended for expert enthusiasts only and is not suitable for novices or children.
Its sheer size and gorgeous coloration make the Brazilian Black and White Tarantula one of the most breathtaking arachnids in the world. The leg span of can reach a full eight inches. Its coloring resembles that of the Brazilian Whiteknee Tarantula in that it has similar white rings around the torso and legs, but the rings on this spider are much larger and encompass more of the spider. The hairs on this particular tarantula are longer than most and accentuate the edges of the spider's legs and abdomen.
This spider makes its home mostly in the grasslands of Brazil and occasionally the savannah. It is traditionally one of the most expensive and rarest type of Tarantula. Having one of these spiders in your possession is a very prestigious thing among Tarantula lovers.

I stop beside the road and check the T's juices coming out of the abdomen side. Luckily there is super glue in the car so i quickly hold the T's and gluing it abdomen.... after that when i reach the destination i found out the upper part of the body also break i try to glue it again....

After that i straight away rushed home.

After i reach home i check al its body it lastly can't be save as the impact too strong all white juices coming out from many part of the abdomen.

Haiz .....

My father angry after hearing I post on blog to buy more tarantulas ( heard from my lil bro ).

My father said me wasting $$ buying this many spiders for what ... ( PS my father dislike spider's alot )
I personally would like to collect taranties **all species if possible.
Many ppl think it is a weird hobby / interest for Ts collection but me personally think it is not.
I'm attracted to Ts on my first sight of view due to its exotic color and their behavior.
It attracted me a lot ....

But nw need to reduce my father anger ....
But i think the only way that my father won't angry is to do collection without wasting $ mayb......
I hope there is a way lyk tat ..... stil finding posibilities ^^

But my Ts collection still go on..........

Handling tarantula

2009-11-20T01:07:00.000-08:00

How to handle your pet tarantula

If you decide to handle your tarantula you must be very careful. Your new pet requires very little care and being handled is not necessary for its physical needs. Your tarantula is probably better off not being held, but if you want to handle your spider there are a number of safe ways to do it.

You should always use caution when handling your spider. Many tarantulas are very quick and can get away easily. The safest way to pick it up is to grip it securely between the second and third pair of legs with your thumb and forefinger. The tarantula’s reaction is to stop moving if you pick the spider up quickly and all its legs leave the ground at the same time. Another way of picking up your spider is to gently nudge it into your hand or temporary container.

Once your tarantula is in the palm of your hand slowly lift it making sure the spider stays in one place. Always keep your hand underneath the spider. If your tarantula likes to crawl around a lot you will find yourself constantly changing hands to prevent your spider from falling. It is a good idea to not let your tarantula crawl all over you. Try to keep it in your hands. These precautions are taken for the safety of yourself and your spider. If a tarantula falls from any great height it will most likely prove fatal for the spider. A fall from a height of three feet or more can burst the abdomen of the spider. If your tarantula’s abdomen ruptures your spider will die a few hours later. If you are hesitant about handling your tarantula the best idea would be not to do it. You don’t want to hurt your pet unintentionally.

Tarantula defenses

A tarantula’s first act of defense is to withdrawal or retreat. If this doesn’t work the spider will kick hairs at its attacker. A tarantula kicks hairs by using its back pair of legs to repeatedly rub the abdomen and shake loose hairs. It will then flings these hairs in the direction of its attacker. This defense is enough to discourage most attackers. In humans these hairs can cause a painful, but temporary rash.

The tarantula does have a venomous bite, but its venom is designed to take down prey smaller than itself. The bite of a pet tarantula is similar to that of a bee sting. If you are bitten by your spider clean the wound and use antiseptic to prevent any infections that may occur. The bite may throb and ache for a while and in some cases there may be nausea and fever. If you are bitten and are afraid you may be having an allergic reaction make sure you receive medical attention as soon as possible. This is especially important if you are allergic to bee stings.

Like most animals your pet tarantula will give warning before actually attacking. The spider will rear up on its two back pairs of legs and show its fangs. If this does not discourage would be assailants, it will strike. So if you see your spider displaying itself in this way, it is best to leave it alone.
