That's definitely worth a shot so I'll probably try doing that, although the bathtub will be going soon as I'm removing it and having a walk in shower installed instead so it really depends on when I need to rehouse :) My first attempt suggested on youtube was to use something like a toilet...

Unfortunately with how the enclosure is setup placing a catch cup over my T.Vagans isn't really possible unless it stays outside and doesn't immediately bolt into its burrow. My original plan for rehousing when it comes time to do so was to have a large tub and place the current and new...

I'll definitely look into that oil I have a T.Vagans right now and am looking into getting 1 or 2 new tarantulas soon. The first time I rehoused it wasn't fun for me at all. it kept going for the wooden stick and straw I was using it bit it a couple of times too and at 1 point it actually...

Is there anything that can be done to stop a tarantula from climbing up a plastic tub? I'm wondering more about a large tub that I can use as a kind of escape stopper so I can safely rehouse a Tarantula without worrying about it bolting out of the large tub and getting into somewhere that's hard...

Yeah the whole spirits thing here is very confusing especially since we have petroleum spirits and alcohol based spirits and sometimes the bottles don't mention what it contains. I never thought of putting a label in the jar with it, I was just going to print of a sticker with the species, sex...

Ok that's where my confusion is as I kept trying to find rubbing alcohol but nowhere knew what it was however since you mentioned pharmacy I discovered here it''s called Surgical spirit which is a odd name for it to me lol. I will be getting some as soon as the shop opens :) As for the loosing...

I'm not sure, the only thing that I can think of is that she got too stressed but I'm not sure what was stressing. She was stressed for a week and I was told to just leave her as she was just settling into the enclosure. I only got her on 10th September

My cyaneopubescens chromatopelma died today and I'd like to preserve her by placing her in a jar with 70% alcohol but I don't have any so need to get some and it seems I will have to order it online however, is it ok to leave the poor dead body for a couple of days until the alcohol arrives or...

You could always use the way I just did, I used a straw to move remains of the mealworm to a easier spot for me to grab it and the GGB (Still trying to think of a name for her) just turned and walked away which is completely different to earlier lol. Double sided tape would work however I would...

Oops Sorry I forgot to include that she's a Juvenile 6cm leg span which I have now edited :) The mealworm is most definitely dead as all that's left is what looks like the head of it which my tarantula has no decided to stand over but to not stress her out anymore I've left it for now and...

So after a successful first feed yesterday I'm in a bit of a predicament right now where I've tried to remove the small remain of the mealworm but I've been unable to remove it using tongs as everytime I go to grab it pulls the webbing and my Cyaneopubescens chromatopelma bolts for the tongs and...

She arrived today and a bit smaller than I expected. I've left her in the tube she was sent in and placed that in the enclosure due to being a little bit nervous in case she bolts but if she's still in it later I'll probably try and get her out unless told otherwise :)

I feel like a idiot, did the enclosure and everything and I just realised I forgot to put ventilation holes in it lol. Should the holes be put on the lid or on the side of the tub? Nothings going to be put onto of the tub so if I do put the holes on the lid they won't get blocked but I'm not...

I prefer the enclosure with the bark where you recommended, I'm really happy with it now and hopefully the GBB likes it too.

It needs more anchor points? Darn I thought the branch and plants would be enough anchor points hahaha. I guess I have to go out and get some more anchor points tomorrow. The thing about the cork bark is it's really thick which kind of limits where I can put it and still have space for the GBB...

Ok so I decided to redo the enclosure as the cork bark I had didn't leave much room and this is what I've got. Not sure about the cork bark that's I've put in but if it works I'll probably use some glue to stick it down so it can't collapse although I'm a little bit concerned about the GBB...

I think its LxWxH, I know it's definitely 13cm high, I wish these websites would state in which order the dimensions are given. Ok thank you, I will change the setup later to look similar to that and yeah I glanced at your comment via notification a few seconds ago :)

Yeah I wasn't too sure about the height as they seemed a bit tall but I figured I could use substrate and some plants and cork bark to reduce the height a bit. I'm mainly looking at dark den on youtube and looking through loads of stuff on google search result plus facebook groups. I could get a...

I'm having a bit of a issue right now with the enclosure for a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens I'm receiving next week. I've ordered a 6CM leg span female and got a exo terra standard large faunarium which is 37 x 22 x 25cm but was told this is too big for the 6cm tarantula and was told to get a...
