    Just did some rehousing, took some pictures, and have a question for all you more advanced keepers

    All my T's have heavy/deep dishes which has 3 purposes. 1) drinking 2) humidity and 3) since my enclosures have live plants I use the old/filthy weekly water to hydrate the plants which works out and ensures they always have fresh water. A for fears of drowning.... I have never seen a T below...

    Just inquiring if anyone else has made any of these vents yet.....if so post some pics and any improvements. On a side note a quick lessons learned. You will have a much smoother cut if you drill half way in the acrylic with the hole saw and flip it to the other side to finish the cut.

    Tarantulas lifestyle at my Home

    Actually the marble isn't for a handle but instead used for a feeding/watering access point so I don't scare skittish T's and/or destroy their web everytime I lift the lid. I take a bendy straw to put water in the bottle caps when required and drop in a cricketonce a week for feeding. If and...

    What do you feed a 7 inch Lasiodora ?

    Get a bigger Tank or go buy a tote box......at least 20 inches wide. General rule enclosure 3 times the size (floor room) for terrestrials 3 times the height for arboreals keeping the width into concideration, you wouldn't go long and narrow like a track.

    What kind of gloves would you recommend for safety in rehousing tarantulas?

    If it's a rehouse I flush them out as they don't think they're under attack. I just start filling the container slowly with water and they casually walk up the glass as water forces them up then I take my catch cup and place it over them, slide lid in place and done. It's that easy and I've...

    Theraphosa stirmi

    IMO they're quite standard in care but eat much more than others and grow exponentially fast....I got my sling 1 year ago at 1/4 inch and she's now 6 inches and lives in her rather large enclosure happy as can be. Once a week I mist, feed, clean-up and refresh all my T's water bowls. Her...

    Vivarium question

    A few observations/questions...... 1) your substrate looks rather wet so I'm inquiring if you have a medium between the water and substrate such as clay pellets and weed fabric to separate "dirt and water" 2) do you have a filter and water circulation (IE: pump) as that would clean your...

    there is no door ATM as I'm waiting on hinges but if you look closely you'll see an opening forming the top 2/3rds where the door will be and that's a 10"x10"x16" To ensure everything was square I made half an open box (so 3 sides only) out of pressed wood/fiberboard and used a carpenters...

    issues with loaning out males (rant)

    when it comes to loans collateral is the only way to do business and that's what it is you aren't friends so don't pretend to be unless you can walk over to "buddys'" place and ring a door bell. They pay an upfront fee and get a % back when the MM is returned then get the full amount back when...
