u mean outside? open area?

ya... where i breed them..

hello guys. i have sumthing to report and ask at the same time.

i found "things" on this crickets. and when i say things it is because i cant identify them. i tried taking a look of this nodes on the crickets heads under a magnifying glass but i cant really see anything that suggest these are mites or a living thing
complete lacking of any visual legs or mouth pieces.

can anybody tell me what they are and if they are mites i am just wondering are their parasitic or carrion mites?

caution! if ur just had food dont click or if ur the gross type dont click also.

Izit a dead crix leftover from ur tarantula enclosure?
I often found mites liddat on leftover of my Hottentotta container last time
I just throw the crix away without changing the substrate and they still do well molting without prob etc
But really, if its u i ll suggest u to change the substrate also just to be safe

it is a fresh killed cricket. killed by a T. my scorps are on a super mealworms diet only.

hmmmm
what type of mites are they? parasitic or carrion?
please let it be carrion mites.

12 October 2009
Today i mated both of my P.Imperator again, being convinced that the mating was unsuccessful previously by a friend

This time the female doesn't show much aggression as last time
The male was pushing for a mating dance while the female just keep moving backward but at last was forced into position by the male

Immediately both exchange sting, i used a tweezer to prevent the female from stinging the male until the male finish stinging her
Both was dancing around and the male drop spermatophore not long after that

This time the female stayed on it longer than last time, aprrox 1minutes but i still didn't see her bending down in curve taking in the spermatophore as told by my friend
At least she stay on it longer this time, i will not proceed to mate them again and see how it goes 1st

The break off was a fierce battle between them both and my tweezer
Luckily both separated unharmed (Well maybe my tweezer was hurt lolz)

Pictures or it never happen
It start with a fight

Then with some kisses

Ejaculate and end with fight again
