Yes tis a bit of the old sarky for our droogs across the pond ;P.

Edit: You see Eddy knows full well that Steve knows what he is doing but pokes fun in a "matey" way (often known as banter) i myself was going to tell Steve it looked like he had been to a builders yard to get sub for his spider tanks (the RDS looks a lot like builders sand here in the UK).

This is the same klugi setup posted a while ago whit some redecoration. I took out the artificial burrow and now it´s about 90% natural stuff.

Hi Eddy,Chris, Bill, and all the folk your side of the pond.

I can understand why you'd ask, because most T's can't be kept on sand, that said, only the Selenotypus & Selenotholus have adapted to life on red desert sand, they had to, Australia is full of the stuff Just one of the big bonuses to keeping the Aussie desert T's, highly adapted little critters.

Most sands are terrible for most spiders, however RDS is a little different to your normal sands too, it has a reasonable clay content, holds better than any other sands and IS the natural substrata these arid zone selenocosmiines are from. In fact, they are so highly evolved to live on the stuff, in areas with black soil and desert sand, spiders such as Selenotypus plumipes will actually choose the sand to burrow in. Buy some of the kids and give it a go

It's not everyday you keep spiders like this, so I understand the confusion, but, don't panic for my sanity, I've got it under control boys

P.S. hercules: It's nice to see your woman posting here (hi Chris)

Cheers,
Steve

I'll be getting an adult red knee soon and I would love to set up the tank like a mexican desert. Is sand safe to use with Ts then?

[Maikardaaion]

Thanks!

It took some time (and money to construct everything...
It's nice you like it

 

[Sharpy808]

Very very nice indeeed.:clap: Wonderfull setup.

Are those tanks all hand made? if they are then props for sure, well done. But if they can be pruchased I really would like to know where you can get them please

 

[Maikardaaion]

The glass tanks are of mine design but can be odrered and done by a friend of mine who runs a glazier workshop (PM me for details, it's no place here to write about it). The inside is made by me using the method described earlier in this thread.

[slimtim454]

Wow! what craftsmanship, I love the setup! How did you make the sides of the terrariums? Fiberglass?

 

[ronin]

Maikardaaion - That's an incredible set-up. Once I can afford it, I'll hire you as my T room architect/designer.

 

[Maikardaaion]
