JOM gives Exotic Pet owners a seamless pet tracker and community to discuss our collection. Looking forward to sharing experiences with everyone.

My son wanted a tarantula as a first pet in 2017, and now we're hooked on the beauty and care we have for our collection.

Paired 3 species all a couple months apart with earliest Oct, 2022 WOW
I guess it's spring, weather warming and the gravid females got triggered to lay their sac.

My Avicularia avicularia sealed up her corkbark 2 months after a (successful) pairing. Fingers crossed, she's in there with an eggsac. I'll check in 2-3 weeks.

Feeding date for my springtail culture, enjoy the Thai sticky rice.
Why? It has higher glucose then long grain.

We wish that our spouse would be interested in the caregiving of our animals, but I don't expect her to enjoy everything I do. The same with sports, we just accept the difference; so the same should be the same for many other things.

I talked to my wife, and I don't think we're 100% the same; but what we do agree on is to concentrate and share what we have in common. Sounds a bit weird, but really - I have interests that she does not, and vice versa.

So with animal caregiving, I talk with people from so many backgrounds; and we just keep our discussion on the care and passion we have. And that's good enough for me.

Hope to meet and talk with you one day too.

I listen to a lot of podcast on business and mentoring, and just thought that there is a correlation with the hobby. I've been meaning to start a podcast, but I tried recording and I know I will get better as time goes; but I think I can better focus my mind when I write. (but if you know me, I love talking with people)
This newsletter will just a a feel good couple paragraphs on stuff I learned about the hobby (whether it's tarantulas, tennis, gardening) but one thing for sure is there's someone there that loves the same thing you do. And then what? Where do you go from there?
We might not have much more in common then the hobby and a few other things, but that's the thing; imagine a concert - everyone there is loving the same band or singer. Same thing as going to a reptile show; but unfortunately there's not much opportunity just be open and start talking to people.
Myself? I was able to connect with hundreds of people; and this is my stories about how one thing led to another; and making friends.
What's your story?

Last year, I figured to avoid the egg crate from stacking on top of each other I cut the edge of a square box 12x12", and then with the lids I cut panels that would insert between the egg crates. From seeing online, I see many people using double the numbers of crates cause of stacking so hope this nice and neat tip will help you with your colony. Anything to save a couple crates.
Tip 2: I hate to use a whole egg crate, it's too hard to shake so many roaches off a big full tray, so for my nymphs I would use 1/3 (2x5 eggs) and for my full colony I would do halved (3x6 eggs).
Tip3: I save finished toilet paper rolls, and place them on top of the trays. Why? There's aways a bunch of roaches in there that I can shake into a 32oz deli cup. Again nice and clean. Easy to get a few out without disturbing the tray.
Hopefully this helps, and remember

Today a friend came by to pick up a Cyclocosmia torreya (American Hourglass), the trapdoor spider that has an oreo bootah. I wanted to show him that the trapdoor is there, and not a jar of dirt; so I filmed two of the C.torreya that I have and see which one will bite. And lucky for me, I didn't have to dig any up and was able to give POL (proof of life) on the little sucker. Hahaha, always good to make friends know you're honest.

Why are dreamcatchers like vendors?
TAG A VENDOR

I've been caring for Ts for about 3 years, and it's been an incredible journey of learning. I contacted many vendors over the last year to understand their business, and blessed to meet a few friends in person and many more thru comments in posts.

We are ao passionate about the Ts in our lives, and I hope we continue to build a great community. Do not let bad apples of last year discourage us; there's so many more great people and reliable vendors.

A friend posted the following:
"A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.”

I guess we always come back full circle and either repeat good habits, or look to break bad cycles. So, back to my question at the beginning, did anyone guess the answer?

I feel that vendors and breeders provide us with dreams, which are our precious Ts (and other pets). In a way they care for our soon to be pets; kind of like catching (our) dreams until they come true. That's why we are so joyous to receive a package from these wonderful "dreamcatchers".

TAG A VENDOR TO WISH THEM THE BEST FOR 2023, and thank them for a WONDERFUL 2022. Hope to introduce people on this thread to great vendors.

PLEASE NO NEGATIVITY let people be grateful.

I have so many Ts, I can post a dozen feeding videos a day, but I much enjoy just being a old fashion vo**ur and watch my beauties. Kind of takes away the pleasure of just enjoying them (when trying to get the right shot).

BUT I do enjoy watching other people feeding their Ts. There I go being the T vo**ur I am.

Here's a red roach that played to close to "Goldie" and got pulled into the dark den of despair. We'll happy for her, but not the prey.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
It's been a tough year, and I can say caring for our tarantulas has been my peace. I just want to wish everyone the best. Let's continue to be kind to each other and welcoming to people joining our hobby. We all find solice with our Ts, and this unites us.
2023 will be amazing, cause I'm going to make it so. Hope I meet you along my journey.

I recall how people can train dogs to balance a treat on a dog's nose and restrain from eating it until allowed. So when I saw Miranda 's photo of a dead cricket on her T's head I just had to laugh, and all I can think of was let's see a photo or video of the hahaha

What's stronger than gravity?
The attraction to buy Just One More pet...!!!

12/08/2022

Blame it on tonight "Full Moon" as I keep repeating this excuse to myself when I walked in the door with 22 more Ts in hand. I went to meet Jacob Arroyo to grab two Ts from him, yes two Ts only. But problem is that we met The Spider Room and then I grabbed another 20 from Matt. Learn the valuable lesson from me, don't meet at a go to a bank or park or supermarket. Why did I think meeting a friend at a T store would be the right idea. I know Jacob walked out with just as many too.
Guess the 3 adults I got? 2 are females? and 1 is a male?
Last photo is my mail order from Spider Shoppe that I just received this morning (21 slings); and the unplanned buy. Blaming it on the

Today Orkin dropped by to do their monthly pest station check, and I talked to him about my T room and try to not do anything to affect my babies. He was interested to check it out, and was pretty amazed at all the Ts.

Since he deals with pest (like bugs), he said he had a friend that has snakes; but never anyone with tarantulas. He mentioned that many of them try and catch and release if they can, even if they're in the business of getting rid of pests. I felt he would be a good person to introduce into the hobby, so I gave him a holiday gift of a 1" Tliltocatl vagans aka Mexican red rump with enclosure and full setup.

(wish I took a photo)
argh, I was so happy about sharing my passion about Ts to him, I just forget. I need to be better about taking photos of moments.

(hours passing)
oh yeah, I should make a post about it. ARGH.

I think I will do better in 2023, and continue to introduce our hobby to people on the outside, and show them that Ts are really amazing animals.

Tip: always give your number to them, ARGH again I didn't think about it; but should have given him my contact so he can come back and ask questions.

According to research, having a pet helps you handle stress that helps lower your blood pressure and releases feel-good chemicals in your brain for happiness. #JustOneMore #ExoticPets #PetApp #LearnDoShare #JOMapp #PetTracker #Pets #Tarantulas #Snakes #Turtles #Geckos #Frogs

Tarantulas are fairly easy pets. Most owners feed them once or twice a week, keep species' humidity at proper levels, and barely need any enclosure cleaning #JustOneMore #ExoticPets #PetApp #LearnDoShare #JOMapp #PetTracker #Pets #Tarantulas #Snakes #Frogs #Birds

Fleas Got Hops Fleas are jumping machines. They can jump up to 13 inches, which is like a human jumping 200 times their body length. Think 1,100 feet up in the air for the average five-foot, six-inch person! This means that fleas can easily jump onto human, pets, and even through screened doors and windows.
