    Feeders

    Absolutely not, I kept a colony for years. Tired of the small dubia burying themselves I started a lateralis colony. HTH.

    Which name is the correct one now for albostriatum?

    According to the report submitted, late 2015 by Smith/Jacobi, Haplopelma was replaced by Cyriopagopoeus and accepted by Platnicks World Spider Catalog. I still haven't changed the labels on mine. Lol!

    Blatta lateralis

    I leave the ootheca where they are. Enclosure is cleaned around 4 month intervals. Began cleaning process earlier this AM, few stragglers still inside when photo taken. 5 to 1 is the ratio I prefer. No cleaning crew is used.

    Enclosures for arboreals. Any good?

    Nice find. With planning those will become nice enclosures.

    Acryllic Set-Up

    Back in late 2016, in this section, I posted several threads on some of my builds. Lots of photos too. I built lots of arboreal enclosures.

    My first home made acrylic terrarium

    Nice looking build. :) Agree w/h viper, I prefer cross ventilation on all my builds. The "T" pattern is quite novel. I use brass hinges and latches on my enclosures, reason, they're cheaper and available locally.

    Still dedicated, just adding another hobby. Lol! Glad I got the hoffmanni back then, yes $20 each. From all the info I've been seeing the horn is readily visible at about the 2"+ size. They're just barely 3/4" now with no sign of horns. Time will tell, I've got plenty, retired now. :)

    Those that make their own enclosures out of acrylic

    Entirely dependent on the build size, mind you I only build arboreal enclosures. Example: a 6"X6"X12" use .120" thick. 12"X12"X24" use .180" thick. Built a dozen, 5"X5"X10" using .080". I used .220" thickness on the sides of some 16"X16"X36" custom enclosures for a...

    Migrated into LR shooting, an expensive and time consuming sport. Btw, thanks again on the lead for the S. hoffmanni slings. Pushing 1 1/2 years now and only doubled in size, slower growing than expected. Very inquisitive species, much like my P. scrofa, disturb their enclosures and come onto...

    Heteroscodra Maculata Enclosure, Lets see yours!

    As slings, I kept mine in inverted 40 oz. peanut butter containers, with slightly moist soil. Fed 2-3 times weekly, room temp near 80°, plus/minus 2°, took slightly longer than 2 years to adult size. Now housed in 8"X8"X14" enclosures for the last 2 years. #1 is usually out and about for easy...

    I had to look up my password just to post my answer, yes I don't frequent this forum like I used to. Since you haven't saws, the score-n-snap method is my recommendation. I've built over 100 acrylic enclosures for myself and local keepers. I use a table saw for cutting the pieces and smooth off...

    Hasp alternatives

    Exactly. Looks and availability, Lowes always has them, plus its a mile from the house.

    Every month except July. Going tomorrow for crickets and P. miranda if they are available.

    Versicolor Sling Enclosure Question

    No, that size is fine, NW arboreals are excellent hunters. I start mine in repurposed food containers, inverted, they have the tendency to bolt up. Photo of food container, 40 oz size. Or I'll use a scratch built one, 5"X5"X8", far right in the photo with a front opening door.

    Where do people get cork bark and other enclosure accessories?

    I buy at the monthly show nearby. Always 2-3 vendors have cork slabs/tubes. I keep a small surplus of cork handy, just in case.

    Hasp alternatives

    Yep, I like using solid brass hinges w/h brass hasp n staples on scratch builds. 2"X4"X2" scorpion enclosure.

    Ornithoctonus aureotibialis

    Yes, considered a pet hole. Yes, they will venture on the surface, ocassionally, mainly well after nightfall. 2 AF and 1 male (juvie) I've seen on the surface, touch the enclosure, 'poof' DISSAPPEAR.
