My new tarantula room slash office~

[violetsun5]

My husband is awesome and let me have the whole room even though he truly does not like my Ts. Now to fill that shelf!

Lmao, My girlfriend doesn't want them in the house at all. At first it was I couldn't have them, period. Now I can have them but I need to build something separate from the house for them. I think she'll warm up to them eventually. She seems to think the females eating the males is the funniest thing ever. And her eyes lit up when I informed her they can eat smaller species of spider (she asked).

Nice rack. I have two of the same (and will be getting one more soon). What size bungee cords are you using?

I think they're just the standard small ones from home depot. They're up there to keep the cats from shoving things off the shelves.

Do you worry at all about cold/drafts coming from that window in the winter? It is right above the shelving unit.

Thanks. Need some to go along with my earthquake furniture straps.

They're three inch thick glass blocks with rubber lined windows. I'm honestly more concerned about the woodstove that's down here. If it becomes an issue I'll move the shelving unit though.

I don't know how large it is. If average size, you are going to have issues if the room is too small, and coal would be worse.

It also depends on the stove. I do a lot of my heating with a wood stove when it's not too cold. If you have a stove that closes well and a chimney that works well enough you won't have problems.

Good stuff. It has alot of potential.

The stove I used had a temp of 700F, anything withing 20 ft would have died with constant exposure. We only used stove in winter.
