Hi, fairly new to the forums and to t's as well. Just wanted to post some pics of my enclosures to see what you all think of em. I find these OXO suction seal containers to work PERFECTLY









It's just great how simple they are to make into an enclosure. {D

Step 1: Add holes
Step 2: Insert T inside
Step 3: Buy more T's and continue process :}

Thats really huge! Good thing that there is lots of decoration!

This is where I will rehouse my A. geniculata when she/he grows once or twice.

Large arboreal 10 gal glass tank

Backdrop and hide made out foam board carved out in a skull theme. The T's hide area drops down the top of the skull head and is about 3" round inside. I used a concrete floor patch mixture and acrylic craft paint to add texture and color. Plastic plants were used for added decor.

2.5 gal glass O.B.T home

Picture #1
This is a 2.5 gal glass tank for my P.murinus.
The backdrop and hide are all one unit carved out of foam and glued to the back of the tank. The hide drops down from the rock looking base.
Picture #2
View looking down. You can see the entrance hole to the hide area.
Picture #3
I left the back side of the tank hide open so I can look in on the T through the glass on the back side of the tank. This will be covered over so the hide is dark and T feels secure.
Picture #4
This is a side view to show the depth of the hide.

Thanks

Hello This is my B. Albo, She always stays at that spot, is that normal?

Can You determine weather it's a male or Female?

and this is my other B. Albo that sealed her burrow tight...

Any comment please, I'm a Beginner... I love them and I want them to live long... :?:?:?

well here are some suggestions i took from YearsOfDecay and some other Gramastola Rosea owners

below i s a pic of her tank before




now the improvements

this pic is from above the cage to give a nice clear view
most the bark is now gone and still cleaning more of it out



now a side shot of it (you can see my Rose in that small burrow
i made for her(its real safe its a plastic bottle cut in half and just eco earth glued and pressed all over it, she wont be squished and have a grave)




a close up of my rose in the burrow
thought it was pretty neat



and finally one of her little cave/burrow with 2 exits, i thought a second exit would make my rose feel safer and i have seen her use it plenty of times.




i would appreciate some kinda rating like 1-10, 1 been poor and 10 been awesome, i know a rose is a pet rock but i want to make sure i am going the right way about been a responsible "T" owner and not a neglectful awful one D:, ooh forgot to mention when i go to bed i turn on her night black heat light bulb. any advise and more tips or any thing is welcomed and appreciated thank you!
:)
