A. metallica and L. difficilis

A. metallica terrarium before I added the T (haven't received it yet). The one on the right is for L. difficilis when she/he grows a bit larger (right now it's only 3"). I need to work on the humidity in the Exo Terra.

I was tagging along with my wife while she shopped :( in Pier 1 Exports or something like that and there was this set of candle holders for half off that caught my eye and I thought they would make cool tarantula cages. They even came with a decorative ring on the top with a groove inside that was perfect for splining in a screen. They are a little on the small side, 9" tall and 5" across but are good for up to 3 inch arboreals or mantids. They even come with the base. What do you think? Should I get more?

I wanna find something like that for my arboreal Ts soon. {D They' re getting big fast.

Cindy,

I just lay pieces of plexi glass on top of the screens on the Exo Terras. leave about an 1/8 inch around the edges for ventilation.

Thanks for the tip, the humidity in my exoterra (small one) is always at about 60%... I am misting every day but the substrate seems dry.. Possibly because there's only about 1 1/2" of it..

My Gosh, some of you guys are extremely creative and talented. Either that, or you have a whole lot of time on your hands to think of how to make and decorate your enclosures. Lots and Lots of good idea. Great, now I have to go home and completely redo all of my enclosures. I thought they were pretty decent looking until now!!!! LOL!!

Thanks much for the info. Lots of nice little cages available now. When i first kept T's it was pretty much 10g aquariums for all, hehe.

I moved my two A. purpurea (2.5") into these new taller plastic habitats. About 1" damp ecoearth at the bottom, many ventilation holes at the top and some midway, and a stick with some plastic plant leaves.

My A. bicegoi will be moving into these too, but 2 of the 3 are in premolt, so I will wait until they molt before moving.

Looking forward to when they web themselves a hide.

My GBB setup. Just a spiderling, so this is a betta tank from Petco (meant to house 2 bettas with a divider in the centre; I took out the divider). I plugged the giant holes at top w/paper towel bits and a couple loose plastic caps (from the ends of cricket tubes). Substrate is potting soil from WalMart.

Where did you get that top? If you made it please specify how, that is exactly what I need for a 30 gal viv I'm constructing. Thanks ~ Rex

My Nandhu chromatus sling's new terrarium. Very basic - a crystal clear Rubbermaid box with holes (using a flaming hot drill bit to make the holes).

WalMart cheapo potting soil, and a 35-cent clay pot from the local craft store.
