Enclosure/Terrarium Pictures

[Aunt Ant]

This is my A.avicularia's tank, a 10 gallon set upward on its side, with a sliding lid. You can see her lair on the top left.

Don't mind the poo... :8o

That's a peice of grapewood I found at a gardening store. I think they are used for attaching air plants to. The size was perfect, like it was made for the tank. As you see, she used it as a foundation for her webbing.

I was lucky enough to catch Zukin taking a drink (Never saw that before ) For the water dish, I use a weathered-looking chalice meant for plants. It came with a plastic cup, and was pretty deep, so I filled it with gravel. The twiggy thing on the bottom of the pic is what i use as a retaining wall for the vermiculite substrate

Bottoms up!

^love the live plants....i want to order some kind of plant for my avic tank to keep the humidity up. Anything good on blackjungle.com for avic tank?

 

[Aunt Ant]

In choosing plants, I walked through a garden nursery and looked for ones I liked that were specifically low-light.
On blackjungle.com I see they have plant collections for sale; the tropical plant sampler and easy grower collections look pretty good to me. Especially the easy grower, since it says they can tolerate a variety of conditions, and the care isn't complicated.
Air plants would be a nice addition too, but I don't think they significantly raise humidity. They look very nice

That rolly polly is a good idea, does it clean things up pretty good? Well to a degree? I think I may try that.

Large terrestrial measuring: 16"x8"x8"

Top down view showing hinges, vents (cricket chew proof!) and locks.

Small terrestrial measuring: 10"x5"x7" will be home to a desert scorp of some sort. Used natural black sand with this one as well as some volcanic looking rock.

WOW. Awesome enclosures..did you get them from tarantulacages?

There's NO mould at all since those wood louse are there. They eat everething that tarantulas won't. Also they are very strong covered not to be hurt by predators, and are not seem to destorb spiders.

so i tried adjusting shelves again. each unit is 18" x 48" x 74". i really need a couple more shelves, not another shelving unit.
i also decided to cover the upper portions of the exposed sides of the units, to discourage my youngest (and most mischievous) cat from getting up there and knocking over cages. i have a couple of baby king baboons who have felt class 5 earthquakes one too many times.

the big container on the bottom right is a b. lateralis colony. on that same shelf is a box of mantids and a smaller box of d. tityus beetle grub/egg jars.
the shelf above that is reserved for sling jars/cups/vials and the hisser roach colony. the 3 empty KKs on the right shelving unit are for tomorrow's arrivals.
