Exploring her new home.

Starting her web :)

Hiding in her new home.

Thanks for the non constructive criticism, something I gather can be an issue here. :dead: But hell if I can't consider a T forum as a source, you excluded, then what the hell is this place good for?! On a side note, yes I've got a god damn humidity/temperature dual gauge, something I ordered...

Thanks all, looks like shes gonna be dispatched tomorrow, and i think i'm ready for her arrival. Medium brown crickets 5-8mm (one still running around in my office, shh dont tell my wife lol) and superworms are in. Terrarium is set with the new perspex door lid fitted, just left the front doors...

Fair enough, life and work comes first otherwise we can't pay for our baby's! I'm so excited and it's still 6 days away till she arrives, I'm like a child lol Guess I'll have to tell you what I've gone for a name too lol, I've gone on a play on words for Misty and gone for MissTy hehehe. What...

@Kitara perspex lid is done, how's your design coming along? On a side note anyone have any suggestions on how to dry out my peat/coco fibre mix, it's been drying 4 days and getting better but taking ages lol

Nice one! Looking good. If i recall drilling acrylic,put some masking tape where drilling, use a HSS metal drill bit and go slow, not snail slow but don't go full speed otherwise the acrylic may melt from the friction. Good luck!

Hey Im not cheap just german and efficient :) :P Acrylic 4mm thick on top as i can work with that, whereas glass i haven't worked with before and don't want to break it with all the holes i would want to drill. I've gone for glass on the front as a window maker down the road cut it and bevelled...

Hey @Kitara and @Thekla , unfortunately return postage for an item of this size is freaking expensive but dont worry, the vent holes at the front i have also thought of. Spoke to a glass window manufacturer down the road and for literally £3 they said they cut down a scrap piece of glass down to...

Thanks, great video and ironically im actually german just live in england so i can understand it perfectly hehehe. Thanks again for taking the time to find it. Thanks @Thekla and @The Grym Reaper Ill take what you said and see what i can work with :) I think ive found a solution without...

I have a habit of modding a lot of stuff I order to match requirements so my skills are up to scratch. Will put a door in it. Tank arrives today (I say today but it's 0318am here lol), the acrylic is ordered, 2 hinges and a recessed ring pull. Just need to figure out how to lock it, not for...

Yeah i cant wait! Way to excited! What do you think of the idea of cutting a door hatch into the lid? Slap a couple of hinges on it and ive got a top feeding hatch :)

Thanks again @Kitara and @BennyBTamachi for that info. Having looked into it it seems to be a stainless steel mesh thats pretty tightly woven. Being a red blooded man ive come up with a solution that solves the mesh issue and still allows me to ventilate AND use power tools. Ive ordered a 5mm...

@Kitara Thanks for your response! Any and all feedback is appreciated. i was planning on putting a pretty decent deep substrate in it at around what you suggested so that's nice to know. Had a peak at your beauty and she is definitely that, stunning! On a side note, any idea why a mesh lid is a...

Thanks Benny, much appreciated! Im deep into watching Tom Moran now :P The one think i keep getting concerned about or cant find an answer too, how low a temperature is acceptable for T's? Im not sure some peeps realise how cold it can get here even in summer, i mean im not talking Iceland...

Hahaha, thanks! No intention of cuddling her :) Hell, even when i said it would be handled as a last resort i meant when hell froze over and can either feed her from the top lid or front double doors :P

Thanks Teal, advice noted. Height was taken into consideration when choosing my terrarium, hence going with 45cm height. Seeing as the next size down was 30cms i thought it may be too small when she maxes out in span. I wasnt technically wanting to chase "numbers" but more as a guideline for me...

Thanks Liquifin, yes i should of added that Exotic Lair wasn't for info more when i fancied something more entertaining. But i will certainly look at Tom Moran seeing as i always have Youtube running in my office when i work and i always work at home in my office. lets just say i get more than...

Hey guys and gals from sunny England! As the title suggest, ive bitten the bullet and ordered my first T, a Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens Female (6cm) – GBB from spidersworld.eu Before anyone panics, ive spent the best part of 2-3 weeks watching The Dark Den (mainly over the latter) and...
