  • Fun but...

    The show certainly has it’s own personality. I worry about the future of the show as it is moving in a somewhat more unprofessional direction. Ripping on each other is occasionally funny, making it half of the show is distracting and difficult to listen to. Chill with the margaritas. You’ve got great potential and fill a niche for the next generation of keepers coming along.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Centipedes with Malte Nordmann | ArachNerds Ep. 39
Q: How do you take your centipedes from one enclosure to another?
Nordmann uses a stick covered with a sock. The centipede's small hooked structures grip the fabric, allowing him to move it gently and transfer it onto another surface.
Centipedes with Malte Nordmann | ArachNerds Ep. 39
Q: What species are you keeping, and how are you keeping them?
Nordmann keeps several centipede species, including Giganteas, Hainanum, white-beards, mintlegs, and Subcrustalis. He uses secure plastic boxes and custom ventilated glass enclosures, generally keeps them near room temperature, and adjusts care to the species.
Disease in Tarantulas with Juju | ArachNerds Ep. 38
Q: What would you have done if you saw that fly and it was your spider?
Juju says he would try to remove it, while cautioning that hobbyists may not have safe ways to immobilize a spider and that improvised methods can carry risks.
Disease in Tarantulas with Juju | ArachNerds Ep. 38
Q: What kind of issue would be out of someone like our scope, where we would have to go to a vet with a spider?
Juju says a severe abdominal tear is a strong reason to seek veterinary help, and that most serious DKS cases beyond dehydration should also be assessed by a veterinary professional.
Everything Aphonopelma w/ Chris Hamilton & Brent Hendrixson | ArachNerds Ep. 37
Q: Have you noticed population declines in certain areas from collection or general, you know, people paving stuff over to put up a Buc-Ease, or has there been a noticeable drop in some of your research sites?
Brent Hendrixson describes formerly abundant Texas sites where he later found no burrows, and says collecting pressure may have affected some locations. He notes that private ranch land may offer protection because access is limited.
