[ShaunHolder]

I like your homemade enclosures. very nice.

 

[Stealth Taco]

Beautiful T's and your enclosures look awesome! How long did it take you to make those?

 

[Zombie]

Nice set-ups brother.
Are you going to enter any of those pics in the Arachoboards contest?

You should.

 

[CIRE]

AMAZING PICS MAN!!!!! out of curiosity, what substrates are you using in the first group of photos?

 

[Maikardaaion]

Thanks for Your opinion
hmmm...the Arachnoboards contest You say... I wont miss it

I made those setups in 3 days including buying and cutting the materials. Putting them together took me about 3-4 hours. After glueing the bark to the walls it took about 2 days to harden and dry. Oh, and aprox. one hour to connect all the cables, the bulbs and introducing the tarantulas

The substrate I'm using in all of my enclosures is "Coco grunt" (don't know if it is the same in other countries). It's made of the exterior, soft part of a coconut.

 

[Citharischius]

Damn ! That are some very very very beautiful T's and you've made really nice pictures of them....


I'm jalous !!!!!!!
