Cool thanks
if I get one I'll probably get that book someone mentioned on here "Breeding the World's Largest Arachnid" or something. It seems that it would have more reliable info than I can find online IMO spot cleaning/feeding/watering is what needs to be made easier, deep cleaning can be as much of a pain as you want it to be--the tarantula isn't in there, after all. You are going to be opening the whole cage every time you need to do anything minor--maybe consider a feeding/watering/hemostat port of some sort? You could even incorporate a coaster into the hatch and disguise it completely if you went the living room/end table display route
That's all I was thinking, but it's significant enough for me to always plan my lids/doors such that I only open a portion.
I was playing with the idea of putting a hinge on the middle and splitting the lid in half. I'll make a thingy on SketchUp to show you guys and you can tell me what you think! This way only half of the lid will open at a timeIMO spot cleaning/feeding/watering is what needs to be made easier, deep cleaning can be as much of a pain as you want it to be--the tarantula isn't in there, after all.

Food for thought
Ah get that book. E&A would be proud. incase your unaware fellow member here on AB, E&A (Elytra & Antenna), wrote that book. you wont be disappointed. And incase your interested, the amblypygid he was breeding was Acanthrophrynus Coronatus if i recall. Also that book doesnt have too much on care if i remember. BUT he does have a FANTASTIC book on care by a different title.Cool thanks
Then I'll get whichever E&A wrote for care then :laugh:
Now that I think about it, wasn't it one of the creatures used to help a student breathe under water in the Goblet of Fire?I hate to be that guy but have you ever seen harry potter? in one of the movies they used an amblypygid. The enclosure I have set up for mine is very lovely. Im sort of setting it up as a display animal. or at least when its night time
Ahahah I know who you're talking about
the one who ended up being a FAKE!
