Wow, some of you guys go through alot of effort to setup these T tanks.

I go for natural looking vivaria myself but never went too crazy with the tarantula setups. I am in the process of building an enclosure with expanding foam and driftwood to make a paludarium (aquarium/terrarium). Now seeing some of the work done here I am going to have to use the leftover foam and silicone to transform my unused exoterra cube into a nice Tarantula setup .

Home for 0.0.5 Poecilotheria rufilata

Hi all,
this is the encolosure i built for my 5 juvenile P. rufilata. The tank is 27*27*19 Inches large. First I covered 3 sides with styrofoam. Then i put in two pieces of mangrove and cut the rock and cave out of styrofoam, sourrounding the mangroves. I did the same with the cork pipe and put in another piece of mangrove. Then i filled all gaps with triple-expanding foam and covered all with a film of "rockoflex". Then i used "elastopur" to cover all besides the rocks and the wood and put coco-bedding on it, before it cured.
Last but not least, i placed some plants. And now i am waiting, til my sweeties get a little larger. But its really hard to wait :wall:

Nicely done Oliver.

Enclosure i made from acrylic for my A.Genic, my first attempt at a self build, i think it turned out ok. Dimensions are 16x12x12.

 

[Stick]

Nicely done. I would consider drilling more holes, preferrably in the sides for adequate ventilation. We have to control that mold and stagnant air.

 

[Poxicator]

You seem to have set up an enclosure that will maintian moisture and humidity, the moss will certainly do so. This may cause probs especially if you don't increase the ventilation. A. geniculata prefer drier conditions.

Quite like the acrylic tank though. I should try creating some of those, but I don't know where to purchase the acrylic from.

 

[rebirthflame]

gonna put some more holes in tonight, guess i was a bit premature in adding it should have let the substrate dry out a bit first. i was just excited to see how it would look in its new home.

@Poxicator : I got the acrylic off ebay quite resonable really but you can get it cheaper from a local dealer. PM me if you need any advice.
