My newest project terrarium for the subterrain tarantulas.

From the side it looks quite typical - 35x25cm



From the above 10 x 25.



After removing the cover:



And the hole of the inhabitant :)




Now the whole strange thing about this enclosure. The terra is C shaped. There is a top and bottom chamber. The bottom chamber has a removable glass lid. One can manipulate and do what ever wanted inside the spider chamber (for ex. one can take the cocoon form the female - just like that :).



And the resident of the enclosure after the lid removed - female Ornithoctonus aureotibialis




The terrarium can come in different sizes - this one is for smaller species.
Hi Maikardaaion

Thank you for this excellent idea:clap: :worship: . I must make this :)

They look great... but IMO the arent the safest nor the best for the spiders (too high, no hides)... good job on the backgrounds though...

Booyaka, if you put some pieces of cork bark in there instead of rocks those would make rel nice arboreal tanks

I bought empty tanks, but decorations I made by myself.

Set up for Usambara

Yeah those are great tanks. Any suggestions as to what to put in my Usambara tank? I have bark as my substrate, but nothing else in there. I moved her from another cage, and unfortunately during the move had to destroy her beautiful web. She is now slowly building up her web fort again. Should I put something else in there with her? Plants? Shelter?
:? :? :?

take out the bark and use peat as a substrate, give it vertical stuff to climb

Great thanks for the advice. Compared to all those other terrariums my housing looks pretty sorry. I guess I already had all the fixins for a usambara house, I just didnt know how to put it together. Are some of those tanks turned on their side? How do you open it up without it being all awkward? Do things fall out? Sorry, Im only an arachnopeon i still have lot's of questions. :? :?
