That’s so sad… I’m glad she lived a long life, though. God will be happy to have her squealing at him for treats.

Good luck with your loss…

Comment on African Cave Spiders, Anyone? by Robb

Thank you for your website. I aquired an African Cave Spider at a pet store that went out of business. What kind of habitat should it have? I currently have it in the one gallon terarrium it was in at the pet store. What temp. range should I be providing? Food (other than crickets)? water? I haven’t been able to find any care instructions online. Thank you for your help.

Rocki — for a rock-climber and his tough character. Also the dot on the “i” reminds me of his musky scent being exuded… haha!!

“George” is a good name – very distinguished and he looks like a “George.” Allison has been to my birthday party 3 times!! Can “George” come too?

I’ve been looking through a book of names and have found three that I like:

1. Kivi (kih-vee). An African-American name borrowed from the Finnish. It means “dweller by a stone.”

2. Kiyo’kaya (kee-YO-kay-ah). A Native North American name from the Sauk people. It means “one who moves about warily, he who is alert.”

3. Isi (ee-see). A Japanese name. It means “rock.”
