I completely redid my tarantula's tank to make it more natural. It's a far cry now from what it looked like before. Thank you Robc and Miz for the inspiration!

These are my setups for my subadult Avicularia sp. avicularia and Psalmopoeus irminia slings:

Avic enclosure: This one is a self-build but I think next time I'll just buy an Exoterra (less effort involved, especially with the drilling ;P)

The hopefully happy occupant :D

The two irminia slings are in tupperware containers. This is what I started out with:

And then I put in a better hide (a nice piece of cork bark which they made great use of!) and drilled extra ventilation holes.

And here's one of the occupants out and about post-moult (very pretty!)

New Poecilotheria regalis tank


The center piece of bamboo has a small water bowl in it made from a plastic cup.

Just a clear Sterlite lockable shoebox with plently of ventilation holes drilled in. The black part is where I cracked the plastic drilling, and melted the plastic to fuse it back together redneck-style.

this is how I have one of my B. smithi's

and here is the other

this type of setup is pretty easy to do, just mix some eco earth, zoo med excavator, and large sand/small gravel, add some water and go to town! if I were to built a 55 like this I would invest in alot of styrofoam to build up the under the substrate, so you dont waste the other materials. the burrows can be created by burring someting that you can remove later, like a balloon filled with sand, or something, or you can just dig them yourself. also this is a good way to keep up humidity the burrows will have 20-30% more humidity than the rest of the tank!
here is my first one in a 5.5g tank

Man, that setup look great! You know, if it's ok with you, I might try something similar for my Ceratogyrus darlingi when it's bigger. This looks so much like those african savannahs!

Kudos man!
