I know this section is just for pictures and no banter but, that tank needs to have the substrate removed, use some dry peat or dry soil and lose the bark chips, add around 4 inches or so...

thank you, ive already been talking to cheetah13mo about that, and have received much help.
already removed the sponge, and buying bed-a-beast tomorrow.
im new to all of this, so i greatly appreciate the suggestions.

why does the pet store tell you to put a sponge and sell you that substrate if they should have something else in there. sign. i'm glad i found this website to get better information.

thanks.

My G. rosea.
10 gallon fish tank [dont know measurements]

I just got her like 2-3 weeks ago. I named her Princess. She's awesome. My first tarantula, and as you can see I'm already getting in to it. I just put this together for her today. I've done A LOT of reading on here. She used to have a small little Kritter Keeper and i felt bad she just had that half log thing in there, so i gave her a [pretty big] upgrade. So far she loves it from what i can see. For about 5 minutes or so she didnt move, but now shes crawling all around getting used to it. I, as well as she, have made a few changes to it since the picture though. Fake plants, btw.





I want to get some sort of soil [bed-a-beast??] and do something different actually. Maybe give her some room to dig or whatever she wants to do.. Comments? Suggestions? I'm new to the tarantula scene, so let me know what you think.

I love the hide, where did you get it if you don't mind me asking... I have not seen that kind before.

Oh and a shot of the bark from the rear of the jar. I figured tying it in with wire would not only avoid using glue but would also give 2 extra air holes!

Here's my B. smithi's terrarium. I spoiled her with a 10-gallon, since she's the only T I have and probably will ever get.
The substrate is 100% peat moss, the plants are all artificial, and the shelter is a natural wooden log.
The image in the back is of course MC Pee Pants and the Aquateens. :rolleyes:

I don't have any sponges. o_O You're probably seeing the flash of my camera. As a matter of fact, yesterday at a petstore I saw a rosea with a sponge in the dish and probably saved his life by making the petstore employee take it out. ;)
