wild caught

Who else has some? How old are yours, what do you keep them in, where'd you get em, tell me about them! I just picked up a couple to replace the Veileds in the vivarium on my work desk, and I'm curious about other people's experience with them. Fairly certain mine are female, I'll be...

I recently lost a WC Kinyongia Matschiei that appeared to have died by either parasites or some other unknown reason. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions from experience keepers that are familiar with Multituberculata Fischeri, Matschiei, Tavetanum, Tenue, Uthmoelleri, or even those...

Had him outside today getting misted and enjoying some natural sunlight... I need a new camera! :) Oh, and a short video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoV8-zF3eUU Hope you enjoy!
