For sale: 1 lot of asst. native invertebrates

[smokehound]

I'm strapped for cash and need supplies.. so im selling a lot of natives for cheap. Everything is $5.00 ea, but they must go altogether as a lot. However you're getting a good deal, as there are a couple of tarantulas and scorpions in the mix. I really dont want to sell some of these, but I have no choice..

I cannot ship them, and they must be picked up. I can meet as long as it's in orange county. If you drive to me, I'll knock off 5 bucks.

Here's what Im offering altogether:

1 mature female Anuroctonus pococki -3" I have no idea how old she is. So if you want to breed her, find a male before she croaks of old age!

15 anuroctonus pococki scorplings, all in great health, and nearing their molts into i3 -- These have a long lifespan, great for collections.

2 mature female Latrodectus hesperus - One is quite huge and possibly gravid. large one shown below

1 mature female bothriocyrtum californicum -comes with her own enclosure, she has already made a burrow. She's nice and big as you can see:

2 immature Aphonopelma "eutylenum-type" males (not pictured, will update)

2 Diabolical ironclad beetles Comes with a chunk of rotting oak bark, mist this every day, as they eat fungi. If you see a thick white mold growing, dont worry, this is their food in the wild. Nice easy species to raise. They have a sand substrate- keep this lightly moist at all times. No additional food is necessary until they break the oak bark down.

3 jerusalem crickets (one is Stenopelmatus nigrocapitatus, the other is a mahogany, which has no species name, yet.) I have five, but need to keep two for a breeding project.

2 Phidippus audax (one large mature female, and one unsexed juvenile)

(not pictured, will update with pics soon)

1 female eleodes acuticaudus (has laid eggs in enclosure, and i found one dead larva in the substrate, so their could be several in there i dont know about, just sprinkle oats and place some baby carrots (wash them, first!) into the substrate. She is in an enclosure filled with sand, and a layer of coco fiber on the top to help conserve moisture, with a broken piece of clay pottery in the substrate for further moisture conservation. mist fairly heavily every other day, and keep a bottlecap full of water in there.

2 mature Eleodes dentipes Male/female. Much larger than acuticaudus, possibly largest tenebrionid in california. the female is 35mm long, the male is somewhere around 25-30 mm. They like rotting wood, and lay eggs in it.

1 Lithobius sp, not fully grown, yet.

and a single atopetholus californicum male around 2". (female died while egg-laying, sadly. Needs rotting oak for health, possibly also rotting california buckwheat.)

I get those black and brown widows in my yard for free. I used to keep them in an aquarium. ( when I worked for Brinks home security) I found a female Black Widow in Huntington Beach that was Huge. I kept her and about four others until the guy at the pet shop told me that they can have offspring even with out a male? I would just collect the egg sack when they where made and destroyed them. He gave me a rosy hair tarantula that I had for a couple of years but when I moved up north for work I gave it to the pet shop on PCH

That's a myth. There are no spiders on earth capable of parthenogenesis. While they will lay eggs, even if unmated, the eggs will be sterile and will rot.

Just like chickens and laying unfertilized eggs we eat.

BTW, those eleodes beetles are close relatives of mealworms, their larvae can also be used as feeders or bait, and grow much larger than even the largest superworms. If nobody purchases these, I'll likely have a large amount of "Giga-worms" available for bait in the future. :D

[bassmeister]

That makes sense. They were cool to feed, as was my Tarantula.
My next tarantula will be a more exotic Asian breed. Some of the colorations were fascinating.
Does the Lithobius pack a nasty bite?

Does the Lithobius pack a nasty bite?No. They're actually total wimps compared to others, however they are very interesting species that dont require any heating. They eat sow-bugs. Be careful with old world tarantulas, as they all have potent venom. Especially poecilotheria species. Black widow venom has nothing on those.
