The water dish stays, I maintain the crap out of my enclosures. That includes washing the dishes. My spider won't drown, but my isopods will.
I'll give a picture of the entire thing when I get home from work.
I do fill it, almost daily. Cleaned nearly as often. This wall of terrariums and...
Recently I posed an issue with my enclosure. I just wanted to thank those who gave their two cents.
The rehouse is done. The once angry spider, was surprisingly calm through it. Even being dug up.
Her home now has 4 to 5 inches of extra depth to the soil. She won't be digging so close to things...
She had a very stressed life, before me. All glass container. I could see straight through her hide, just a dusting of dirt, and light 24/7.
She had scars from always flicking.
My avicularia came from there too. But she was younger when I got her.
I been leaving them alone as much as possible...
Thanks for the chat guys. I'll take care of the water dish when I get home. I'm still holding off on the re-do until this molt happens... And then I'll probably fill the enclosure to the half way line, with soil. In the future giving her space to dig, without getting that close to anything on...
Yep, I intend to pull it out. My tanks are all bio active... There was drainage because there was live plants. She saw to it, there's no more live plants. That is coming out when I redo it.
I even make substrate just for a burrower. Little bit of a special potting soil, little bit of store...
Just asking... Are you sure? I didn't mention. That dish is only an inch deep with a couple of rocks in it to keep prey and pillbugs from drowning. It's just a little glass dish like you would get some dipping sauce in, with your hotwings. I'm only asking because obviously I care about...
That was fast.
Copy that... Resting it on the bottom isn't an option. I keep the dirt pretty deep for her so her burrows are stable... She's even pulled back my screen and dug out a bunch of the gravel... (I was impressed)
But I can take the foundation rock out and move the dish to a corner she...
Whatever she's got going on... She put up the "do not disturb" sign. She will either open it or dig a new exit, when she's ready. Don't add prey items.
I typically start misting the substrate around the burrow to make sure she has moisture, so she has access to water. Not a whole bunch, just a...
I have problem developing. ... Self inflicted. I need some advice. My big girl has made quite the burrow. I want to redo her home for more substrate and less deco. But I've been waiting for an appropriate time (after she molts). She came to me very stressed, and I've been leaving her be. She got...
Found another one early this morning. And yes, I typically find them at work, from 3 - 7 am... Most my finds are at work. I do love this job for that reason.
My paludarium. 5gal fish tank below with some smaller fish in it. And a breeding pair of Eastern grey tree frogs, above. Plants are live.
The back wall, is bark from my back yard. Flattened using my oven and water, then glued in place.
You see the big white female, I assume. Just to the right of her is the little male, in dark green. He was still stressed, he was nearly dead when I found him at work. Dehydrated, and far from water. Then after some recovery, found himself in a paper cup for about 8 hours, with his eyeball...
A really good picture of my new male. Pretty sure both my frogs are Eastern grey. I know I have male female pair. I have not heard a call yet, to confirm him. And I won't know for sure if they are the same species unless they breed.
