To eliminate production costs and spare the environment and its landfills and trees by using non-polluting pixels on paperless pages, ARACHNOCULTURE is now an online magazine. ### The Origins **ARACHNOCULTURE** debuted in 2005 in print format. It was self-published by Michael Jacobi and seven issues were released over the course of two years. The response was overwhelmingly positive. However, producing the magazine was both extremely cost-prohibitive and labor intensive. Budget constraints made professional printing impossible, yet the goal was from the beginning to produce a high-quality product both in terms of content and production values. Therefore, skimping on number of pages or using a low-quality printing method was out of the question, and each issue was painstakingly printed at great expense by color laser printer, collated by hand, and then bound and trimmed at Kinko's. It was then inserted in a plastic bag and sealed in envelope for mailing. Coupled with the costs of posting these heavy copies with a high percentages going overseas, the magazine lost money quickly and the project could not be continued. ### The E-Zine My original intention was to somehow administer a subscription-based, password-protected E-Zine. However, at this time I just want to get as much of the original print issue articles online and not focus on future issues. I also want to expose as many people as possible to the excellent material that was contained in the first seven issues of ARACHNOCULTURE magazine by making all viewing public. Please enjoy the first seven issues of ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE. ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 7 - [SPECIAL ISSUE: IN SEARCH OF COSTA RICAN TARANTULAS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/7/AC-i7.html) ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 6 - coming soon! ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 5 - [INNER VIEW with RAY GABRIEL—Live From Panama](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/5/AC-i5a1-p1.html) - [THE FIRST US BREEDINGS OF *POECILOTHERIA SUBFUSCA*](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/5/AC-i5a2-p1.html) - [THE PERFECT ROACH— *BLATTA LATERALIS*](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/5/AC-i5a6-p1.html) - [ARACHNID SCIENCE: ARTICLE REVIEWS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/5/AC-i5a7-p1.html) - [THE BACK PAGE: ONLY WEIRDOS PLAY WITH BUGS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/5/AC-i5a8-p1.html) - more coming soon! ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 4 - [INNER VIEW with STEVE NUNN](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a1-p1.html) - [CREATING AN ENCLOSURE FOR ARBOREAL TARANTULAS USING A VERTICALLY-ORIENTED 10 GALLON AQUARIUM](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a2-p1.html) - [SCORPIONS OF THE GENUS *TITYUS* IN CAPTIVITY](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a3-p1.html) - [HANDLING TECHNIQUES FOR SCORPION HUSBANDRY](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a4-p1.html) - [ARACHNID SCIENCE: ARTICLE REVIEWS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a7-p1.html) - [THE BACK PAGE: TARANTULAS CAN'T READ](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/4/AC-i4a8-p1.html) - more coming soon! ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 3 - [BEYOND THE CRICKET: ALTERNATIVE FOOD FOR ARACHNIDS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a2-p1.html) - [ARACHNIDS OF TORTUGUERO, COSTA RICA: PART TWO — SPIDERS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a4-p1.html) - [*PARABUTHUS* SCORPIONS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a5-p1.html) - [TARANTULA GLOSSARY](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a5-p1.html) - [ARACHNID SCIENCE: ARTICLE REVIEWS](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a7-p1.html) - [THE BACK PAGE: DEAD LANGUAGES & DUMB NAMES](https://web.archive.org/web/20120112082616/http://exoticfauna.com/arachnoculture/3/AC-i3a8-p1.html) - more coming soon! ### ARACHNOCULTURE E-ZINE ISSUE 2 - [INNER VIEW with ANDREW M.
