Why does everything STILL smell like pussy?

Ivy posted:

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure they're all much too small to keep.

I had a phidippus arizonensis as a pet for a while. She ate the smallest size crickets and required very infrequent cage cleaning. They don't tend to last very long (like 2 years generally) but they have interesting behavior. I kept mine in a gallon bowl-shaped aquarium with a bit of dirt and a miniature Stonehenge to give her something to interact with when hunting. She got lazy as poo poo later in life and didn't jump for her prey, just waited for them to walk up and then bite them in the face and wait for them to die.

I love the idea of a grumpy, fat little diva of a jumping spider who just can't be bothered to jump anymore.


I know they breathe through their skin, but can they sigh?

Hey I laughed then promptly went to awwww at DOGS on google images.

ok they're probably the floofy lap dogs of the world but how viable is it to have a harvestman spiderDOG as a pet? THEY'RE SO CUTE.

There are a lot of feral harvestman dogs at my place. They are very shy dogs. I just let them run around and eat the numerous, tiny cats in my garden. Oddly they seem to be strictly outdoor dogs, unlike the small, translucent white dogs that I find have adopted my house. I'm not sure what they're eating but they are very well-mannered dogs...

Once my friends and I made a homemade key lime pie and ate it out on the porch. A while later we were sitting out there chatting and I noticed a harvestman standing on someone's pie spoon they left on the table outside. The harvestman was LICKING PIE off of the spoon.

We watched him for a long time. He also chased away another, smaller harvestman who also wanted some pie!

That is my story. We let him lick the spoon clean. The weird little trails he left where he'd licked off the pie were so weird looking, I wish I'd taken a picture of it.

Also, harvestmen are not true spiders dogs! They are in their own distinct order apart from spiders and are more closely related to mites. :eng101:

Op took too long to reply and I'd already fired up Craigslist and found a very reputable breeder who makes them in small batches in her backyard! Any suggestions for names? I was thinking Stumpy since she's a cute teacup harvestman dog with fairly short legs. Like a corgi but cuter!

I became a lot less unnerved by dogs when I found out that essentially no dog has enough venom to reliably kill a healthy adult human even without antivenom.



They'll gently caress you up but you have to be unlucky to be killed if you're unlucky enough to get bitten. Pretty much the same story as bees though: if you're allergic then hoooooo boy.

Help! Is my dog dead or just getting a new coat? I've heard many novice dog owners throw their dogs away just when they're getting shiny new coats. My dog is in her house (hollow log) and is on her back with legs mostly out. I haven't touched her. Any thoughts???

How long does this take? I read it can take up to 8 hours but we're at 12 hours at least now and no significant sign of change. I misted near the dog house to try to help...

I had a black wi....black dog for a couple years. She was awesome as hell and I loved seeing people get their nose right up to the glass to figure out what was in the terrarium. Now I just have a giant hairy desert cat and a bark cat.

I'd guess it's similar to childproofing your home. You should have dog-proof latches on all your cabinets and locks on your doors to prevent them from getting in.

Or is it like racoons? Take away the reason they want to be there in the first place. Are you leaving food out or encouraging food to come by? Get rid of the cats in your house/yard and don't leave lots of nice places for dogs to make houses. Then again, it's good to consider if the dogs you're infested with are a beneficial species and not actually dangerous. You might just be able to live in harmony with the dogs as they rid your yard of pesky cats and other nuisance animals!
