Aquarium humidity helps in the winter.

I'm anxiously awaiting my first T so I've been looking at this thread to calm myself and get ideas for enclosures, at the same time! Here's what I have so far for my A. chalcodes but it isn't done yet:



Also, don't mind the mess around the enclosure -- I've been moving quite a bit of stuff around the past couple days to make room for my new arrival.

Only changes I would say for that enclosure is to take off the light, and add more substrate, also make sure the substrate is bone dry before putting the T in.

I plan to take the light off, I just had it there for the picture because it's a little dark in my room at the moment. And I have another brick and a half sitting out right now that I'll be adding. Thank you for the suggestions!

EDIT: Also, it won't be here until Tuesday at the earliest. Ships out on Monday and I got overnight shipping.

I'd go for a different sub, something a bit more what they walk on if possible.

Just made this enclosure for my A.avic. Made out of a snapware container that was designed to hold yarn. Found it at Jo Anne's Fabric.

Some homemade stuff

Stirmi display cage, with living and fake plants.

I thought the mess was mandatory. An ultra neat enclosures set up belies deep seated psychological problems in the animal keeper who should immediately seek professional help.

2.5 on edge

Just finished up rehousing my freshly molted A. metallica into its final home, @ 2.5-3 inches.
Her/his old bark was put into new enclosure (2.5gal) after the transfer for safety.
Cant wait till the webbing commences

Becca! I have NEVER been able to find your website, with your link or by looking up "Becca's Tarantulas" either. What's up?

Finally finished my A. avic's adult/permanent enclosure. I had done the basic set up when I first mvoed her in a few weeks ago, but I had plans to add more (fake) plants for climbing and webbing on. Got it done today.

Here's before, when I first moved her in:


And after (now):

How often does it use the pipe you have in there, rather does it use the pipe as its permanent home?

She uses it as her home, so she spends a lot of time in there. I moved her into this enclosure on September 1st. By that same evening she had discovered and claimed the pipe. She comes out for water and to hunt, but otherwise spends most her time there.

I had always thought of using a pipe, but honestly didn't think they would take to it, primarily because my terrestrials pretty much ignore whatever I give them. While they are opportunistic, they sure can be picky.

T. Stirmi set up.

Largest set up I ever made. Naturally it is for a large tarantula, a Stirmi. I ordered an adult and therefore built an enclosure for an adult but when I received it it was a lot smaller than anticipated and now the height is an issue. But as there are large soft plants on three sides and nothing hard to land on on the third so think it will be okay. Besides, I have nowhere else to put it.

Before anyone points out that there's hardly any substrate in there, you should know that the terrarium is built into the table/furniture. There is 10 inches of substrate in there.
Although I have about 100 small things I wish I would have done differently or better I'm still kind of happy with this one. :biggrin:
