Ok, so thanks I guess for pointing out my error. I have never owned an adult FEMALE A. Avic. Sorry I didnt point that out. My bad! I know that males are typically "leggy" and can appear larger than a female. My male A. Avic's carapace is very close to if not the same size as my 3" (give or...

I have a mature male A. Avic and would like to breed him with my female A. Avic. But I'm not sure of her age. She is probably 3 or so inches across when "relaxed". Is she big enough? I have seen that 75% of max size is breedable. But I have never had a fully grown Avic so i dont know how big...

OBT and P.Irminia scare the wits outta me! But thats why I keep Ts in the first place. Its adrenaline in a glass box!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found an orb weaver spider in my yard today. He is huge!!! As I thought about how cool he would be as a pet I couldnt help but wonder how long they live. I already have 13 tarantulas that i keep as pets, and I know their lifespan. I am sure that a true spider doesnt have as long a life as a T...

P Cancerides.

Small enclosures are not neccesarily "better" or "worse". It all depends on what you want and or need. The T will probably not care either way. Some of my Ts like to wander about, so I put them in bigger enclosures. Others like my G. Rosea, just sit there. So I put her in a smaller enclosure. It...

How often should my 3 inch C Crawshayi molt. I know they grow really really slow, but this is retarded!! Its been nearly a year.

My Ts will only molt when there is a storm moving through. I m pretty sure it has to do with the drop in barometric pressure and rise in humidity. Ts lose a lot of moisture while molting so maybe they know that when the pressure drops a storm is coming and there will be rain resulting in an...

Same here. Except they want $50. for it. It has been there for over a year and it took me half of that time to ID the thing. It always stayed under the coconut hut and had a bald butt.

So, uh, do we have a standard of measure yet? I like the quarter idea, but there is always photoshop.

Wow, Thanks. Not sure if I would try to build one though. Im great with wood, but not so much with glass. I have some ideas that I plan to build for my Ts and my lizard in the future, but I'm always looking for new ideas.

I have lights in most of my enclosures, but they are really only there so I can show the T and enclosure to others. My Ts get a light cycle from the windows.

I agree with gumby also. Im not gonna go and stick stick a light on my cobalts enclosure. The thing lives in a hole for cryin out loud!! As long as they are in a room that gets some kind of outside light, the T will know day from night and be able to determine seasons ect. from the length of the...

I second that. All creatures use light cycles as a clue to seasons, ect.

My H. Liv for example, hates light with a passion. My L. Parahybana on the other hand doesnt seem to mind as much. Shes always out in the open. I feel it depends on the T. The only time I see that mine tend to favor light is when it is cool. They are there for the heat only. And its mostly my...

LMAO!!! ROFL!!{D

Do Ts like or dislike light or does it depend on the T? Is it necessary or is it a cause of stress and discomfort?

In fairness to the OP, it is off topic. It can be discussed in depth in a new thread that would attract even more interst in the topic of lighting. This thread was about enclosures. Now it is about lighting and the definition of "rude". It is very inconsiderate to the OP.

Why must you continue to argue. You argue the lighting and now you are argueing the definition of rudeness. Dude, end it. This is even worse!

The thing that the guy has in the picture is obviously not home made and I have yet to find the exact same thing. I really like the size and clean appearance of what he has. However, it would not be hard to build a very similar setup at home. As far as the lights go, it looks to be a dual or...
