Hey thanks for the reply *Self_DeFenCe*. I got an avic avic in a "jungle" 10gal terrarium, with live plants, growing on a grow bulb from a 10 gal standard light fixture..I would be able to use the same type for cacti and succulents right? cheers:

Hello, been awhile since I posted, but I am thinking of getting another T (go figure, they really are like potato chips). I would like to get a terrestrial desert T, and have started my research here. I have seen a few people say DO NOT USE SAND SUBSTRATE, but have not heard why. I was thinking...

well this is no good...no good at all. I just put a young avic avic in an enclosure with a Nylon screen top today. My first spider, my first day with it...my girl friend is going to FREAK! Can you imagine. Takes me months to talk her into getting one and it breaks out on the first night. To make...

O.k. So I will be the first to admit it...you guys are good. Moltar you were right on target. There is now fine little webbing (mold/fungus) on the log base, and plant base. There is no Tarantula in it atm, so Im hoping I can fix this with the suggested holes. Now when I first planted the...

thanks, good info guys. A few holes drilled into the side wont hurt I guess, right? I mean I do have to think about keeping the humidity fairly high, and to much ventilation will lower it. Maybe keep it down to like 4-6 holes going around the top side, whatta ya think? BTW im seeing stuff...

thanks everyone. I feel much better now. That branch you see actually has a Y like end on the bottom, that I stuck down into the dirt to keep it steady. Its not budging no matter how hard I shake the container (without the T in it of course). Yeah i guess a piece of curved bark would be nice to...

Ok so this is the setup I made from scratch. The whole thing cost me about $3.00. I have two shown here. One a glass pickle jar (smaller) and the other is a large plastic pretzle container. The substrate i am using is vermiculite for the bottom half, and a organig 85%peat moss 15% soil mix for...

yeah thats the analysis on mine...Im not worried about organic fertilizer like manure, i mean they may not enjoy the smell (if they have a way to smell it, that is) but i dont see organic stuff bothering insects or reptiles, or any animals for that matter...but what im worried about is that...

So I was so blinded by the fact the spagnum peatmoss i was buying was just a little over 2$ for a large bag that I failed to realize it contained plant food (miricale grow makes it...go figure). Will this miricale grow plant food mixed in peat moss pose a threat to my spideys? should I avoid...

Very nice. I like what you have did here, kept it very naturlistic while leaving it open for plentiful viewing. Did you make that backdrop yourself or did you buy it that way? there is much on youtube about making your own, which I like. Im into cutomizing as much as possible. I will post a...

thanks for the leads...I will be feasting on this for days =) Just a quick couple questions on some terminology you used...What does a "MM" mean? what is the term "hooked out"? ready to breed? thnx again..

Well The type of spider I have had my eye on for a few years now is the pink toed trantula. I know they are a arboreal species so a tall aquarium is a must. Are there any plants to watch out for when doing a live terrarium with tarantulas? any plants in particular posion to them? I love creating...

Hey guys, seen your board when I was searching yahoo images for "tarantula Terrariums". Seems like a good board..Hope to learn alot here. I am new to tarantula keeping since it has taked me a looong time to finally talk my GF into letting me have one (Trust me I have done the impossible)...
