Introducing Sara and Mac

[SpiderLady79]

Here is Sara ( she isnt on bark anymore but not happy I changed it :8o )

Here is Mac

 

[Krazy Kat]

Very nice looking tarantulas..

 

[syndicate]

nice smithi!might wanna add a lil extra substrate to her tank to avoid any injuries from fallin

 

[olablane]

I love B.Smithis and yours is gorgeous. I agree. More substrate so he cant fall and get hurt. Thanks for sharing!

Nice big rosea and smithi.
If you want Sara and Mac to stop climbing so much you should consider drying the substrate out.
Those two species love it bone dry.

my Wallie said hi to Sara and Mac.

Yah we thought the eco earth would dry faster then it did so I just pulled them and put them in containers put there Enclosure's out side and made up some more eco earth to add to them.

If you want to accelerate the drying process, spread out the eco earth very thinly so that the air can circulate around all of it. I use extra rubbermaid bin lids to spread mine out after I mix it. When it stays in a pile the stuff underneath takes longer to dry.

To make it even faster, you can THINLY spread it on baking sheets and pop it in the oven (I set it to 250 F, some set it to 350 or more), and bake it for a while (5-20 minutes depending on how much and how damp it is). You can also use a fork to stir the thin layer a bit (basically to help flip the bits over) every 5 minutes or so to speed this up. It can be a bit labor intensive for making alot of dry substrate, but it will be bone dry when you are done (which makes species like g. roseas much happier!)

Nice looking Ts though, and definitely a good choice in substrate (and mixing some to fill it more is a good choice too!)
