Flipped it. Workin' on it. Thanks. Smoked some medicinals and when I was done, shouted "Shoot. DIRT CURTAINS!"....with some expletives in betweenI wouldn’t use it like that they will burrow and build a dirt curtain. All my Psalmopoeus have done this. And every time you open you’d be destroying that and be easier for an escape. They like to retreat downwards into burrow or into dirt curtain behind the bark. So I wouldn’t have a bottom opening for that reason.
top opening or front opening would be better.
You’ll be good to go if it opens from the top.Flipped it. Workin' on it. Thanks. Smoked some medicinals and when I was done, shouted "Shoot. DIRT CURTAINS!"....with some expletives in between
Thanks! Appreciate itNothing constructive to add, just that it's continuing to be a fun ride watching your collection grow! Your A. genic sling is the cutest.
Looks good!! now watch you get the one odd ball cambridgei that will go to the top and web a hut in the corner.Finished it up. Thanks guys!
Getting the 1.5" P. cam, a 2" X. intermedia, and a tiny P. sazimai sling tomorrow
Thanks! Appreciate it
My whole collection is in my profile if you ever wanna take a look!
It moved some moss and built a cool dirt curtain it could hide behind its first night.....I think it looks pretty good, maybe just add a little more cover around the bottom. As slings, they often burrow a bit and create "dirt curtains"! This is one of my favorite species....you won't be disappointed! And they grow FAST.
Might make feeding tough yeah, but its always nice that it stays out in the open for you to see!! two sides!Then abandoned it and stays "perched" on the bark right under where the cover opens.
Lol! Ehhhh....kinda gotta flip it....all I see is toes lmao!!!Might make feeding tough yeah, but its always nice that it stays out in the open for you to see!! two sides!
Let it sink in!!! An an arboreal guy 100% they are awesome to me. Plus you’ll see some awesome growth with this species. I was amazed with size with molts in all my Psalmopoeus. I think your opinion will change, I hope for your sake or does cause there’s so many awesome arboreals.Lol! Ehhhh....kinda gotta flip it....all I see is toes lmao!!!
If im being totalllllllly honest....as of RIGHT NOW...I wish I had a friend in the hobby local to trade with lmao!
Not feeling the whole arboreal thing!
But then again it's been a few days!...maybe my opinion will change
I hope it does too! Would make my options so much broader!! Just being honestLet it sink in!!! An an arboreal guy 100% they are awesome to me. Plus you’ll see some awesome growth with this species.

It would!! Just curious what made you not like it after just a few days of having it?I hope it does too! Would make my options so much broader!! Just being honest
Thanks!
Well with a terrestrial/fossorial everything's sorta in front of you. With this guy he could be on the cork bark, either from the front or the back giving it kind of a more 3 dimensional feel. Also with the ground cover and such and being brown they can hide really well lol!It would!! Just curious what made you not like it after just a few days of having it?
Yeah a lot of those reason are why i like them so much! i love the more 3 dimensional feel! Maybe it just takes some time to get used to.Well with a terrestrial/fossorial everything's sorta in front of you.

Also the feeding thing like we mentioned. I respect how fast these guys are and it already gave me a run for my $ during unpacking lol! So not super excited about feeding time. First feed was no problem but he was in his dirt curtain and I gave him prekill. But that's also sorta 3 dimensional if that makes sense. With terrestrials you put in the cricket or the worm...they eat lol. With these guys the feeders can climb, go behind the cork where you can't see it..etc etc.
I just feel like I can't see it at all times, which I can with Terrestrials/Fossorials unless they're in their hide (which you can still see them) or burrowed (but I know they're burrowed and usually where and I don't care lol)
Also since the container is so deep...i'd imagine spot cleaning to be much harder! I have an order of springtails on the way, not because I got this one just because I wanted some for the semi moist/moist enclosures.
I think its just going to take some getting used to while being cautious ofcourse...after some time and success and molts etc we can revisit!
Hey....you asked!
Cool to know! Thanks!Yeah a lot of those reason are why i like them so much! i love the more 3 dimensional feel! Maybe it just takes some time to get used to.
And yeah they are fast, you can always give the enclosure a little bit of a bump so they retreat into dirt curtain when it comes time to feed or do maintenance. My cambridgei's are very sensitive to when feeders are near by entrances or on bark and usually come bursting out to get them. Youll get used to it, at least I hope!
