Enclosure/Terrarium Pictures

[Tegenaria]

u should always give a t somewhere to shack up just in case..

Well, i remember being advised otherwise when I first got my Ts.
I will look for something tho, but not easy to find somethjing natural looking, and i cant afford those expensive you get in the shops!

you can get some sort of hide out in the woods, just bake it or boil it to kill anything on it and it will be fine..

I keep my enclosures really simple.
I didn't use any plants (but I'm contemplating in the near future)
I keep my enclosures outside the house.

Its so humid here that its 80% all year round.
Temperature here is around 78F during the cold months and 85-90F during summer (I think I need to invest on a fan)

Heres my A. geniculata (Brazilian White Knee) which just molted

Heres my A. chalcodes (Mexican Blonde)

Heres my A. avicularia which I put on a driftwood.
He did some carving too and made a home for herself.

I housed my P. ornata on a piece of bamboo which she retreats to. most of the day she's hiding inside... She only comes out during dawn.

Thanks!
Actually, the weather here is ideal for tarantulas (I think)
But the weather in Atlanta is far better for humans I envy your cool temperature

my home made terrarium

 

[Godzirra]

gratian, i love the background !

--------

my terrestrial ones are very basic and simple
plank of wood, cocoa hut and wood piece

They like to use all, they are found on the plank, under the plank, in the wood, in the cocoa hut (well in that pic, there is no coco hut in the second tank, but there is now)

the plank of wood is set in the middle, so the hut is behind it.

With our pink toe, my husband planted 3 plants -- one being a bamboo tree & a fern

The top part of the enclosure has cardboard around it -- that is taped from up top, so we can flip it up, this is a type of escapism for the tarantula, if it would like.

Make a tutorial on how you made that backdrop. It looks awesome. Or just let us know here.

Rehoused these T. apothysis slings (Pink toe Goliath), thought I'd post to
get opinions and any advice ppl want to give about keeping these.

Kamikaze...I'm assuming you live in FL. I live in N.FL. Where do you get your tanks at? How much?

Well, here is our enclosure for our pink toe

When we first picked her up we had her in the basic aquarium set up (we were told this was good for her). Well after finding arachnoboards, I reallized it was all wrong so, here's what we came up with. It's our first attempt and she seems much happier . She already has her favorite spot for rest and her favorite hunting spot.
This is my first attempt to upload a photo. Hopefully I do it right .

This is where she hides.

This is her favorite hunting spot.

Where did your acrylic cage come from or did you make it; I like it a lot.

We did make the cage. It worked out pretty well for our first project .
We went to a local shop called Taps plastics and they had everything we needed. They cut the peices to the demensions we asked for and picked up the acrylic glue (not really a glue, it melts the plastics together and evaporates). They also had the plastic hinges and locks. Cut out some ventilation holes, covered with some metal screen and it's all finished.
I have to admit I picked up alot of idea's right here. There are so many great enclosures to look at and get idea's from. So, thanks for posting pics.

We used the acrylic cement (glue) which is supposed to be non toxic after it evaporates and does not leave a seam, really gives a nice clean look. We were afraid the cylicon would be toxic for her. But I guess not . Oh, and my tutorial wasn't that long. But, I do like yours better :clap: .

Hello,

I think, I can share you pics of my terraroom. It's not done at all, but it will be soon (as soon as I buy a raw glass).
