Enclosures N stuff.

I re-housed most of my T's today and I'd like to know what you guys think.

H minax tank:

Grammostola rosea tank:

Before you complain about the thin layer of substrate, there's a whole cave system in the foam with 2 entrances.

Marked them red.
The foam also keeps the temperature in the cave system around 75F without the use of any heating equipment.
Pterinochilus murinus RCF tank:

The top layer of substrate is loam, it's softer than you might think.
Psalmopoeus irminia tank:

(I didn't rehouse this one yet, since I bought it a few months ago)

Keep in mind that they were re-housed today and it'll take some time for them to web, which makes it look more natural.

Wow, those setups look great That foam cave system in the G. rosea's enclosure is awesome. How did you make it? Does the T spend a lot inside it? How do you go about cleaning it?

I put old newspapers around the walls/bottom of the tank, sprayed the foam in it, waited for it to dry, took it out, made the top a bit flatter and cut the cave system out, then I put clay on the top so the substrate doesn't directly touch the foam.

I simply remove the substrate, take the foam out, clean it and put it back in.

She uses it every night because the outside temperatures drop to 60F<

I really like them, good job with the foam for maintaining heat.

What kind of foam do you use? I want to try something like this, before winter arrives

Simple spray foam.

These look great - I was thinking about trying this for my current arboreal project. Just for a nice cage set up. Idk if i should take away the space in the tank as it'll be a 9"x9"x18" tank for a MM P.regalis. . . we'll see once its built I suppose.

Had to clean the P. irminia tank because of a centipede infestation, sucks, but it gave me the opportunity to change the whole tank.

Good job K. Love that P Irminia tank. What kind of moss is that?

The kind that grows on trees, I only know the native name of it :\

I love the way it looks K. It looks like hobbit houses in Lord of the Rings. I would like that moss for my gecko.
