Zoocreatures in plaistow has some rescues from neglectful owners... they are stunted growth. Like 4 or more years and shorter than the adult tegu they have. :( messed up looking. I'd loooovvvvve to give them good home/proper care but can't afford to in this climate. Ugh. So frustrating. You are so lucky, laura, to live where you do. I guess my family is lucky that I don't! Haha :p

Hey, all Dubya friends! Can All the Club Dubya regulars post their first names so we can all get to know each other. If the club gets big enough, we may all meet at some event someday. My name is Pat.

Do you know what this reminds me of? I was at school on Tuesday and the girls in my class (3/4th grade) said, "Oh, Mrs. Roberts, come sit on our picnic blanket and eat lunch with us." So I did. Because they were talking about dogs and fun things. Then they started talking about all sorts of TV shows I have never heard of. lol. That's how I feel in this club. :D

I have waxworms and I have T's. I have a L. parabyhana that I'd like to get some growth on. I've never tried feeding waxworms. I'm guessing you have to warm the worms up and getting them moving??

Well i think my s'ling was afraid of the pinheads the pet store suggested. Haha. Then pat (dubya) suggested waxworms ( he said his spider loved them). I also read things online with similar suggestions. Anyway... i had tried a waxworm and "cricket " was like "nope! Eeeek! " (yes my amazing spider can talk) .so further research online suggested I break pieces off... for example a 'cricket drumstick ' instead of whole cricket. So i cut a waxworm in half and stuffed it under "cricket ". It didn't eat then... but overnight it did. I didn't warm the waxworm because I knew the temp would be room temp overnight anyway. I never knew tarantulas would eat prekilled. But apparently some captives prefer it, especially the babies. And they actually 'eat ' the worm. I always thought spiders inject venom then suck the juices out, but they actually munch it down! I love learning new things. Animals are so amazing. :) <3

I haven't held my spider because it just stresses them out. I am fine with just looking and caring for. Like a fish.you wouldn't hold it but still enjoy the beauty :) alligators i wouldn't want to wrestle.haha. i just really love them and respect them.and would love to rescue the abused/neglected 'pets ' people get without realizing the requirements for proper care. I don't 'need ' to be all snuggly with things to love and adore them. <3 laura is sooooo lucky. :)
