    Cockroach Questions

    The roach forum will answer all your questions. It's not good to contaminate the colony by putting different species of roaches together. They fight for food and will possibly breed into a bad roach.

    How do you clean your burrowers enclosures?

    Sorry didn't even main topic but it all applies for the future. Feed the sling cricket legs not whole crickets. Less waste and chance of the cricket biting. If it can eat whole crickets if the cricket is female rip the black tail out of its bum and crush it's jaw with your tongs. If you must get...

    How do you clean your burrowers enclosures?

    Buy isopods and dump them in for your high humidity species. Dont go ripping it apart unless you absolutly have to. The things we drop or move around in there tanks bother us more then them. Its a bug not a dog. It has no idea what a bottle cap is that fell at the top of there burrow. You might...

Put pieces of duct tape on my cheek and forehead and pulled off the heavy hooks. Used industrial eyewash I have for work and cleaned out my...

    8-9" T. Stirmi 20 gallon enclosure set up!

    That is a beautiful Stirmi Bro. I've had and lost two females. Treasure that one. Collection feels empty without them. They make all the other spiders seem useless. Nothing like watching them devour frogs, mice and baby snakes. Good going with Roly polys. Gotta keep that tank clean with the...

    Specs for a DIY acrylic enclosure?

    Look in your local Yellow pages for businesses that specialize in sign making. You want real acrylic. You want to buy a large sheet on the thicker side. Sheet will cost around 100$. Which is fine because your gonna mess up a couple times but that happens its ok. You want the real acrylite...

    Looks good. Try making a acrylic lid with vents or add clear packing tape over the steel lid (michaeljacobi).

    Heating?

    hot water humidifier, space heater, theraphosa species a hermit crab heat mat which is very small and just adds a little warmth. Don't use a reptile heat mat your tarantula will just cook it self.

    I think my G. Rosea likes her new enclosure,

    @ Osmo you know how long it would take to carve stone. @Qp(qaurter pound) you need a grinder with a cup wheel to grind stone. Unless it is a very large rock it will crack. My suggestion is wash them with just water. No soap. Bake them at 360 degrees for 30 minutes. Take them out and let...

    Introduction and a question on substrate

    As you know as well as I do that monitor substrates need to be structurally sound for burrows. Much more precision goes into reptile enclosures as it is a requirement if you expect to be anything more than a amateur. Same concept in my opinion with tarantulas. One substance does not cover...
