Wow! That is very impressive... and so orginized. It sure puts my room to shame. lol!

 

[El Viejo]

What lens did you use to shoot those? Nice wide angle shots. Oh, great looking room too by the way.

 

[Chicken Farmer]

Wow! So many, over powering, eyes burning....

 

[jayefbe]

Beautiful. You've given me something to strive for!

 

[Chris_Skeleton]

That would be a wish come true for me..... :drool:

 

[apophysis]

[Ludedor24]

That is the ever-gimmicky "fish eye" lens.

Nice collection

Edit: I forgot to ask how much $ did you invest roughly into all of that? That looks like quite a sum there...(including enclosures, substrate, spiders, and so on...)

Chris I'm totally jealous and envious of you now. That's an awesome looking room.

 

[Philth]

Your perfectionism is nauseating lol.... Kidding! really nice man!

Later, Tom

That looks very nice Chris. I wish my T room looked like that. Right now it looks like a old bedroom, with aquariums, vials, sterilites, and deli cups all squeezed anywhere they will fit. Need to do some serious cleaning and rearranging.

I'm in two minds. I'm very jealous that you have a room set aside and that you've got so many spiders, but at the same time I can't help think "specimen jars". I'm sure the Ts are all very well looked after, but personally I like to give mine a bit of room and a more natural surrounding. I'm not having a go, just letting you know that I've always treated my Ts more as pets than parts of a collection.

Fish eye!

Yes most of the day is dark.

I dont even want to think about feeding day..or is it feeding week? lol

Wow! Impressive and so organized too!

thanks!Feeding/watering is almost ever day!

OH wow I love how the walls are curved j/k. Seriously, that is just beyond awesome.

HaHa this gave me a good laugh this morning!

Awesome job! Neat and clean. How many spiders?

A lot!But I've been collecting all these for some time now.Also hatching out rarer species and selling/trading is often re-invested into my hobby/addiction lol!

No offense taken!If you look closely the whole back wall there has 2 shelves of custom acrylic tanks for arboreals and some larger ones up top so they do in fact have a good amount of space!The only jars in the photos are for smaller arboreal species and all the deli cups on the right wall contain juveniles and sub-adult spiders.The left wall is all burrowing species,which need lots of dirt to dig in so the cereal containers used here provide adequate height and space for them to construct there nests!I understand what your saying but trying to breed this many spiders and give them all giant tanks is not so easy!I'd love to one day have all custom tanks with live plants and more natural setups!

Now this room is a perfect blend of a Healthy addiction and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Love the room bro! I am now using those pics to anyone who says I have too many spiders, followed by this line "If he is allowed to have this many so should I!"
