Its actually just peat. I put it in kinda moist so he could construct a burrow and have been letting it dry out.

Thanks man. truth be told a lot of the photos, esp. close ups, are in a "photo box" I made thats a little more decorated than the permanent homes. Really aggressive species, like the P. cancerides, don't get moved for obvious reasons.

Photo session withn Beezle

Beezle is my female O. aureotibialis. For some unknown reasons she has been above ground the past few days. I took advantage of this and snapped some pictures. She complied by posing and only attacking the lens once.
Hanging out in her flowers

She just wants a hug

Close up of the carapace. Well, as close as she would let me get.


And finally what I think turned out to be the best shot of the day :D I just really like it because it shows off the golden flash on Leg I. This feature is what makes thsi sp. unique and drew my eye to them initially.

Great pics as always! Congrats on the sac Im hoping my female lays a sac soon(although probably won't happen because I dont know if the male got any good insertions, and no more attemps because hes passed on.) Oh Im wondering what kind of containers your using?

that T.blondi looks pretty hefty how big is it?
She;s pretty big. i'd say 7 inches or so. I am terrible at estimating.

I use 20 qt. Sterlite sweater boxes. They are kinda high so I terrace the insides a tad. I have not had any incidents with falling yet. They are about 3 bux and very stackable.

Im guessing we are using the same boxes, but to be sure would you mind taking a picture of the overall container, or if not how does it lock? Mine lock but not on all four sides.

They don't really lock on all four sides. They kinda clip at the fornt and the back but none of the T's have ever tried pushing the tops. I think its proly on too tight for them, but I don't trust these set ups with my pedes.

Well we have the same tanks, they were great. What do you use for your pede, I made a mistake awhile ago and put a pede in one of these and well it escaped luckly my dad found it and caught it.
