Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Mites in spider tank? How do you get rid of them?
Hey, does anyone have any suggestions on how to safely de-mite a spider and her tank? I changed the bedding in the tank and there was some new plants near her tank and this week there were hundreds of brownish red mites. I'm working on getting them id'd now but in the mean time I need to get rid of them. Are there any pesticide free and spider safe ways to get rid of them? I cleaned her tank out with soap and water, I wasn't sure if bleach was safe for them or not. I would love any suggestions, thank you

She's a pink toed tarantula. She's on coconut bedding with live plants.

I have had this same problem with t's and other inverts, there are companies that sell predatory mites that will eliminate your problem naturally but they are not that cheap and only sold in quantity so if you have a large collection its ideal. I use these http://www.arbico-organics.com/produ...ects-organisms in my invert tanks and they work really well

Thanks for the advice, we use something like that for our horses to but I'm trying to avoid having any bugs in there beside the t lol. The guy at the pet store thinks they look like aphids and came off the plants.
