@redtegu: nice P. irminia set-up, I think my irminia isn't actually an irminia as it shows none of the chevron or orange markings :-/

Here's a recent one I set up for my P. reduncus

well if its just because you don't want other people to know how you made it,

sounds abit selfish to me....after all you did make a thread asking people how to make one of them enclosures right??

I think what the topic of discussion is not in how I made it, but what Tarantula is in it...lol... its cool though...

Oh and to TalonAWD... Well, I guess I just dont feel like telling everyone what it is... Sometimes I cant believe it myself.. Someday I'll let it be known...and I hope the few people that do know respect my decision to keep it private...;)

For my little hairy girlfriend, Rosa (G. Rosea)








Enclosure: Exo Terra (45x45x45cm)
With 15-20cm of Plant Substrate, and for decoration a layer of Bark.
I have no lightning resource other than the sun. But looks for a good alternative for that, cause I dont see the sun that much around here... :)

Was wondering if you Brachypelma owners could post pics of your enclosures. I didn't see very many when searching this thread. I will be getting a B.Smithi this week and even though it will only be a 1.5". I would like to get some ideas. Another question that I have is would a rectangular plastic container with dimensions of 5"x4"x3" be too big for a 1.5" smithi? Thanks.

The container you describe sounds ok for a B.smithi that size :)
Here's my B.smithi's enclosure. It's a 2.5 gallon tank. Substrate consisted of peat moss and a touch of sand. I half buried the log hide, and added dry moss, reindeer lichen, cork bark, and dead fern for interest. I've seen her all over this tank; sitting in the hide, on the hide, in the water dish, on the moss, in the corners.. No space is wasted lol
Disregard the fir bark chips, they came with a zoomed pre-mixed substrate. I found out they weren't good for inverts, so the sub's been changed since the pic was taken

I'm rehousing my community of 3 x P. rufliata (as mentioned earlier in this thread) from a sweet jar to an Exo-terra. I've included a colony of pil bugs and springtails in the substrate and should move the Ts into their new home over the weekend.
Thought I'd give you a preview of how things are going.

Thanks, the tank measures 12x6x8, and both the lid and tank came from the local Petland Discounts
