nice :clap:
May I ask you, what are you used to give such a nice colors, is it safe for spiders. And does H. incei make damage for the setup?

wonderful :worship:

No problem. I use non toxic acrylic hobby paints. You can find them at most hobby stores and Walmart carries them as well. They are all natural, permanent and have not caused any problems for any of my T's. I use these backgrounds in most of my enclosures.

I mix the paints to achieve the color I desire. The cement that I use I also mix paint in with it to get a base color then add detail after it dries.

The incei have not caused damage yet. I dont think the small T's can get through the cement layer.

This is an enclosure I put together for my B. smithi. I posted a thread with a slide show of each stage:

Some new enclosures and shuffling about

Since I will hopefully be receiving two new spiders at the end of the week I've had to rearrange some of my existing occupants and create some new enclosure habitats.

First I moved my scorpion, Sebastian (Heterometrus petersii), to a slightly smaller tank that I already had. He still has his deep pre-built burrow, which he adopted almost immediately and a moist jungle setup.

Sebastian's original tank was stripped, cleaned and set up for my new arrival, a subadult female Euathlus sp. blue. I had a look at some habitat pictures and read that this species lives on the beach, in between sand dunes in burrows under rocks. So I did my best to recreate a bit of beach with a rocky semi-buried hide (hope she likes it!)

The substrate is a 50/50 mix of coir and vermiculite as a base layer, with about 25/25/50 of vermiculite,coir, and calci-sand on top. The plants are some plastic decorative 'grass' from a garden centre. I will also add a rocky waterbowl when I've found a suitable piece of stone!

I'm particularly proud of my lid, which I made myself with bits and bobs from the local DIY store

The next enclosure is a for my Acanthogonatus sp. green female that should also be arriving by the end of this week. I've given her a piece of leaning corkbark for a hide and lots of web anchor points on the plants as I heard that this species webs a lot.

Can't wait to get both of these beauties!!

Thanks
I carved one piece of styrofoam with a small cutter then I applied some silicone over the styrofoam and put coco humus over the silicone and let if dry for 2 days. I used nontoxic silicone
You can search on youtube for some tutorials, i`m sure u`ll find one

I recently bought a pair of Avicularia sp. perus so I had to whip up a new cage for the female. the male is smaller and will be going into something more simple. I found this cage at my friends local pet shop. The company is called Reptology and the cage is 12 x 12 x 18. It's larger than a 5 gal and just a tad smaller than the 10 gal. I didnt have time or the materials to whip up my normal arboreal cage with plexi front so I went the easy way. I just made a background, cut a piece of plexi to block off some of the ventilation on the top. I also made the wooden center piece.

Well, this is my arboreals cupboard. It's built especially to hold tall, narrow enclosures - built it myself. These pics where taken when I first built it, so no babie sin it at the time, but I am in the process of upgrading it a bit, so I will post update pics when it's done. Anyways, enough babbling, here's the cupboard:

Heres some pics of our setups & shelves. Since we allow tours in our home & we also do presentations at schools, our enclosures are setup that way at all times during the day. Kim
