I love the 'Don't knock on the glass! He won't open the door!' sign on top!! :D :clap:
I just think it's one of the lamest tarantula cage setups on the face of the planet. Seriously.

cityzooguy, thats very inspirational - I love it.
ske, You certainly have a novetly look to your enclosure and there's definitely room for improvement. A thin layer of yellow stones isn't a good substrate for a burrowing species, replace with coir and it will look more natural. I'd remove the bike and the bike chain and all the metal, not good for Ts unless you're willing to risk injury and I'd also remove the bug gell.
Take a look at some of the great enclosures on here for some good natural inspiration, its worth the effort.

Angled scorp tank & T enclosures

In the angled terrarium in a desert hairy, the 10 gallon below has some mordax, the 2 small ones below has 1 unknown sling & a northern scorp & the ones on the bottom are a mexican redknee & a n. chromatus. I have desert loam in the scorp tanks & peat moss in the T tanks. No live plants yet. Trying to figure out what ones will be best & easiest. Kim

/\ /\ /\ Get that cotton out of the water from Megans and Sylvias tank. Tarantulas will not drown and cotton forms a breeding ground for bacterial. You trying to save the T from drowning will only kill it by introducing harmful bacteria.

I would say more substrate. Potentially huge drop should the T climb and fall. Looks good other than that, except for the cotton which you've taken care of. I don't think you need all the temperature gauges and stuff, but I don't know the temperatures and how they fluctuate up there.:?
