OK. sorry to bring this message up from the dead :D I had a kid about a month after this, Rebuilt our entire house, and then moved city, country, continent and hemisphere. How my wife never divorced me.. I don't know. I'm not allowed T's were I am staying now and had t give all mine up...

Thanks all :) I only took the photo's in the ICU after some people asked to check how it was doing from photo's. The very black abdomen also only really showed so dark while I was taking macro photo's with a flash. I wish I hadn't moved it into the ICU in the first place but so we live and...

So last night I was going through my feeding routine and I dropped a large roach into my B. vagan's cage. The roach ran straight up to it and actually sat UNDER it. The T never even twitched. I quickly checked and it wasn't moving at all. It was just sitting there. I quickly made up an ICU and...

Thanks all. I don't have a video camera :( But I'll try take step by step photo's with the material I have at home and make a cage up to show you, if you all want? As to the Arboreal cage above (+/- 12 inch x 6 inch x 6 inch), Here is the cutting list I give my Acrylic supplier Back: 300mm x...

It does cost quiet a bit, Though I am sure in the USA or Canada it will be considerably cheaper than for me in SA. I got most of my idea's after looking at the TAP plastics website where they had a video on designing acrylic boxes. The cut out portions of the lund cage took a bit more thinking...

Hi Everyone. Its been a while and I clean forgot about this. I was going through things today and found this post again, and thought I would give an update. As mentioned, I had this cage planned for my H. gigas. Which has grown much faster than I had thought possible. When I returned from...

:D If you check out the properties of my embedded images, you can track it back to my photo folders on PB and see them all there. But I'll admit, I never made an instructional photo shoot of this one. I have the measurements at work though and will gladly post them tomorrow for you all if...

LOL, maybe she doesn't like the water you are giving her :D

I use something called Claratite that I buy from one of my suppliers here in SA, and apply it the same way I saw in the TAP plastics video instructionals. ie: with a really thin needle (Its not as easy as they make it out to be though {D ) Problem with the one above I found, was that I had...

Its going to be a few years before any of my T's reach adult hood, so not quiet yet. Its designed for my H gigas in a few molts when its ready to come out of its Deli cup (In which I haven't seen anything in weeks other than its feet out a hole every now and then.) Its a 150mm (5.9") cube. The...

I recently read up about a "lund cage" in the Tarantula keepers guide and thought it would be a great idea for some of my Pet hole slings that I have. Now cages are expensive here in SA, and after looking at RobC's enclosures and Adams at TC.com I really wanted some of those. Of course I...

I hated spiders, Even looking at one gave me the creeps. If I found one in the house I would call my wife to get rid of it. Came home one day and she was busy on a Video conference, so I decided to go watch TV in the bedroom. When I tried to close the curtains, I found this 4" huntsmand...

I read this the other day on Wiki when I found some "daddy long legs" next to a widow with her egg sacs. Since male huntsmans spiders can attain a legspan of 250–300 mm, I think they might stand a chance against the T

Well since H gigas can "swim", it wouldn't surprise me if others could as well. Just like cats, most hate water, and yet Turkish Vans love swimming. Its not that the others cant, they just prefer not to

@ skips, Not really, You asked if the story of more O2 was true, we're trying to discuss if it is true, and what the effects of it would be if it wasn't, or reversed :D You should try see if you can get hold of the BBC deep blue ocean episode. I've watched it a few times and each time I am still...

Correct, what they found though was that these worms had been able to do pretty much the same as what we normally consider to be photosynthesis with light, O2 and CO2, But instead were using methane and other particles from the vents, and no light at all. Also instead of H2O, they were living in...

Gases water (AKA steam) will remain water even in its gases stage. But it does effect the pressure. We use it in systems we sell (I build furnaces for a living) basically what happens is water is added to an otherwise sealed enviroment at about 750 degrees C, this almost instantly turns it into...

Over a long period of time. I would say yes. While the O2 might have to come from the CO2, Volcanic eruptions can release massive amounts of it rather quickly. Once its there the pressure should remain the same while its converted, but its still increased because you added something that wasn't...

There was a TV series by BCC called "the Big blue ocean." Over a few years they did research by sending down highly specialised subs to investigate things. They mentioned how on each trip down, they discovered species still unknown to man. Down at the bottom of some rifts, They found tube...

By volume, then sure. Currently its about what,78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide. But would it not be safe to assume (and I hate assuming things but for the interests sake and learning , I am going to) that with a massive increase of O2, you will also have an...
