Maintenance time

[Billy 5ek]

Hello,

I haven't been on this forum for a long time, nice to see it is still very active and full of nice and caring tarantula keepers .

I've been delaying maintenance of my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Greenbottle blue) tarantula enclosure for a long time. It has been in there for more then a year without any major cleanings. So today was the day to do it . I took some pics along and just wanted to share. Hope you will enjoy it .

​

Regards,
Billy

I'm curious what needed cleaning? I have tarantulas that have been in enclosures for years without being "cleaned." That is an awesome set up!

"It needs more anchor points."

That is one of the best looking enclosures i have seen, props

That piece of wood looks awesome! Spood's not bad looking either.

Nice setup, reminds me of what I saw from a video of them in natural habitat.

Well, my GBB is a display spider, more or less. I have it in my living room. I like the glass clean, not all pooped up . I removed all the boluses from its cave and all the dead crickets laying around. And after that, I always put some fresh dried leaves in.

The cork bark is actually a plastic root for aquarium. I managed to find some old pics of when it was made.

Just posting an update. I decided to put in more wood and a skull

What a nice set-up! I'm inspired to go the extra mile with my own enclosures, now

I bet that is one happy GBB.
