Here are some of my enclosures. :)

The A. geniculata is in a 10 gallon, the B. boehmei (invisible in the pic) and the N. coloratovillosus are in a 5.5 gallon tank.

The L. para babies and A. versicolor are in acrylic containers purchased at Michael's.

Burrowing and Arboreal

All habitats have fake plants in them.
2 set ups for A. avicularia. The first has 3 currently in there, and the second only has one:



Here is another arboreal, P. regalis set up:


And now for the burrowing T's.
Here are 2 set ups I have for my H. lividums:



And for the others: H. schmidti, P. lugardi, and C. bechuanicus respectively:




I use either 50/50 vermiculite/peat moss or just straight up peat moss for the burrowing species. I find that either the mix or just peat moss makes it easier for them to burrow.

And now for how I keep them in my room:

Arboreal and burrowing

A. metallica colony: (I also set up the A. avicularia's in this same manner and am using that old tank to house my new H. schmidti which is photographed below.)


Haplopelma schmidti:

This is a 15G for my A. geniculata that will be arriving tonight.
Substrate is coconut bark, just a bit damp throughout, with an exoterra/bowl hide (bowl underneath). I figure that she will make the changes she wants when she gets here... Very excited :D

Enclosure for new Ts (slings & sub adults)

I got the Ts I ordered settled into containers based on ideas from this board and "The Tarantula Keepers Guide". Here's the big picture view which shows all the containers. I provide hides for all, but most have elected to burrow under their hides. The containers by the router get some extra heat.

B. albopilosum 2"F
G. pulchra 1"
G. aureostriata 1.25"
G. rosea .75"
E. campestratus 1.25"
L. parahybana .5"
B. vagans .5"

Here's a closeup of the G. pulchra container. It burrowed under the pot and I haven't seen it since I put it in.

Using eco-earth as a substrate. Critter keeper was $5 at Petsmart, other containers from Michael's at $3 and less. Little pots also from Michael's.

Comments by PM welcome.

Deep and oportunistic burrowers, this case OBT

I had this crazy idea and I'm surprised how well it works!:)
Lavalamp with 120V 25W, Ziploc, 6" tall containers from superstore.
It just gets warm enough (78F) not too hot. They also can regulate the temperature by just moving to the opposite side. I think its great.

My setups. Not very exciting unfortunately. When I move house at the end of the summer I should have a lot more room. I plan on getting/building a large, glass-fronted cabinet so I can put all my tanks in there and heat the whole thing. Also when my Ts get nearer to full-size I'm gonna put them in those glass cube tanks and make em all pretty. But these are cheap and do the job okay for now.



Left red-lidded tank, 2.5" B. smithi.
White-lidded vial inside that tank, 0.75" C. cyaneopubescens.
Deli cup in the middle, 2" B. emilia, gets warmed by the heatmats on the two larger tanks.
Right red-lidded tank, 4" G. aureostriata.

All have 50/50 peat/vermiculite substrate. Smithi has coconut-shell hide, emilia has film canister hide. All but GBB have plastic water dishes.
