#2 - HERE WE GO AGAIN

Intro
Before I offend, expose, vent and start calling out fucktards and douchenozzles, I suppose I should start a bit slower and milder and mix up a few topics and end with one bitching.



Breeding
Day has started great with my American first Avicularia sp. Colombia molting to 2nd instar during the night. Unfortunately about one third of the 1st instars didn't make it. I noticed mites when I opened the sac and was fighting them for the duration of incubation.



More Breeding
I keep finding more sacs and breeding production is in full swing. I noticed that a female Avicularia minatrix was wandering without her sac this morning and found it left on other side of enclosure. I opened and maybe the eggs are good, maybe they're not. I also decided to move a Cyriopagopus schioedtei female from her temporary cereal container housing where she was paired and rudely pulled up her cork slab to put it in her new swank 10 gallon-on-end quarters. Then I saw the egg sac. Doh! Even the highly experiences do stupid things. Lesson learned: flashlight examination first.



The Bitching
Name spared because the poster is just one of the many sheeple who do the same, but this is a post on the BTS Faffbook page today: "Anyone have a quick rundown on how a set up for a purple bloom bird eater should be? Its about 3 inches big at the moment, size of tank etc thanks"

First, if you don't understand why I call the shitgutter that is Facebook "Faffbook" here's your explanation: "faffing" is Brit slang for fucking around, wasting time. Second, no matter what you choose to call it it is the land of the lazy. My response to this post was this: "1. Start with scientific name 2. Google is your friend. 3. Self-research is rewarding." How many posts a day do you see where instead of someone researching a question with the incredibly vast library called the intrawebs, they just post a query and wait for someone to do the work for them? For fuck's sake, READ! Now I know that the info she might have found if she bothered herself to do a Google/Bing/Yahoo search might have been misleading, inaccurate or just plain asinine. That is the minefield that is the Internet. The only thing you can trust in cyberspace is porn. And that will lead me to my next blog - "Information is not knowledge". Until next time, MJ
