Crawltech`s picture thread

[Ariel]

seems only the evergreen bark bothers the T`s.....it doesnt kill them,,,,,they jus wont use it as a hide....unless its bin off the tree for a real long time,and baked by the sun/rinsed well from the rain.....none of my pokies will use evergreen bark hides?????.....my rosies dont seem to mind though???

oh i edited that last post to explain a bit better....tryin not be so vague....lol

Well I know pine lets off a toxin, and it can eventually kill your Ts. and I know there are some other kinds out there you shouldn't use.

no pine bark used at all....

UGH - I want a rufilata SO badly lol Yours is stunning!

The enclosures look really cool

(ps - your screenname drives me nuts.. every time I see "crawl" and "tech" in the same sentence, I think rock crawling... to see it in the same screenname, and I can barely stand it lol)

 

[crawltech]

you got`er,im huge into wheelin.....I build jeeps and toyotas into capable trail rigs/rock crawlers(another hobby of mine).....heres a couple youtube links to some of my vids of my in my jeep

the crawltech thing kinda applies to both hobbies....Tarantulas are known for a unique style of "crawlin"...as in the way they walk,and they can def crawl over any obstical,.. and im a tarantula technician of sorts,...as in i keep, and maintane a collection of tarantulas,..keeping them in good running order,so to speak..... lol

....and of course it applies to the offraod end of things aswell...

I was wondering if anyone would catch on to that

are you a fan of offroading action, teal??

Your H. mac needs a gorgeous name! She's lovely

 

[jbm150]

Unbelievable pics man. I could sit and stare at your H. mac in its enclosure all day. HOW do you have it so damp in there but not have your wood mold?

 

[BCscorp]

i like your pics...nice collection too

 

[crawltech]

Well maybe you could think of something cool,for me to name her.....lets see what you`ve got

I JUST sprayed it before that pic....its usually dam near bone dry......all my enclosures have lots a ventilation..it helps keep them mold free...but i have to mist them a little more often....some more than others obviously.....with the H. mac,i prolly mist twice a week(lightly!).......but my Haplo. albos,every second day(not so lightly)....jus 2 examples

 

[crawltech]

i like your pics...nice collection too

Thanx dude!....more to come!!

 

[Teal]

Oooh, putting me on the spot huh? That's okay... I can handle it

I'll have somethin' for ya here in a jiffy! Though, with my naming style... I guess it really depends on your definition of "cool" lol

ETA: How about "Mina".. which is a language spoken in the Togo area of Africa, where H. macs are from?
More to come later.. the kitchen is calling out to me now LOL

 

[crawltech]

Mina sounds awsome teal!

 

[Teal]

I thought it was pretty fitting! Glad you like it
