If I was a captive T I would want TheNatural to be my keeper!

[Tegenaria]

an enclosure for P.rufilata.
I plan to move it when it shows some arboreal behaviour..
so far.. still prefers burrowing!

Looks a very nice habitat but I must warn you about the small plant just below the white dish. Looks like Herb Robert(Geranium robertianum) and if so its spreads like crazy!

Tegenaria, thx for telling me that!
I'm not sure, but I'll take it out anyway just in case
thank you

 

[Tegenaria]

Crush the leaves? do they have weird pungent smell? Also the stems are reddish, tho more noticeable on mature plants.
The plants not poisonous just rampant!

I have always kept my spiders in some of the most spartan of cages. Usually sterlite boxes which the spiders dont mind. However, since seeing Deven's and M Jacobi's naturalistic set ups I have wanted to do one for an arboreal spider. I got a pretty good deal on an Exo Terra tank so I got it and pickes up some wood and fake plants.
I was really pleased at how it turned out. Makes me want to make one now live plants. I just might do it with either P miranda or Cyriopogous. This was sorta my practice tank to work on.


There is gonna be one lucky spider getting to live in this condo


Here is the lucky spider, Poecilotheria striata. Now all she needs is a boyfriend

Brians S, that's a nice decorated cage! The ornamental would love it!..
I wish I could buy those expensive exoterras..lol

 

[Brian S]

I got a real good deal on this on . At the moment I dont have anymore room or I would do another one now for my P ornata.
When I move I plan to do 2 or 3 more. I'm really hoping that my P miranda will be female. It just molted but is still too small for me to sex. Need microscope!!!
BTW, if any of you all have done one of these for Cyriopogopus, let me know. I want to know if they do really well in a similar set up and if they are visible or not. Pokes are the best to put in these IMO because they dont web as much and are usually more visible than other arboreals I have kept.

My C. fasciatum enclosure. I use plastic food containers to raise slings. Coco substrate, some vines and bark, plus some sphagnum moss.

Terraroom

I'd like to present my terraroom. Some terrarium pics as well.

The general view. Some terrariums are not yet finished, it takes lot's of time to do it

Partially finished arboreal terrarium, I'm gonna put some more plants in it when I install the lamps

More arboreal set-ups:

Double scolopendra tanks:

Another scolopendra terrarium:

And a still presentation how does the "shelf" work:

Once more the arboreal terrariums:

The underground terrarium with a anti-light shield

With the shield removed:

And some micro terrariums with Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli:

 

[Tegenaria]

My god theres tanks everywhere-all you need is a cash register and you got your own exotics store!

Very cool!

 

[zoidx_chung]

[james41777]

Those things are like decorative vine that you can bend it any way you want.

This is what i keep my Poecilotheria ornata spiderling in at the moment..

It works well, it's tall, and has allowed her to burrow aswell... As u can see though.. she already needs rehousing!! :wall:

Hey I have one of those with a yellow lid, but thought it unsuitable! Now I know better!
