[regalpaws]

If you're comfy with sending pictures, lets see them! I've been having fun with making natural looking enclosures and adding different textures and plants, but I want to see what others are also using. Any fun décor you've bought and liked?

Here's one I set up today for a juvenile I have.

I got banana stems in the natural decor section in swells reptile. I made the mushroom air dry clay acrylic paint then seal it with animal safe pond sealant. I watched a vid on utube about making my own water dishes and got carried away it's the only vid on utube about water dishes tarantulatastic enclosures was the maker he does lots of vivs that are movie based like Halloween and predator a grave yard ect I enjoy his builds if you check out his vid on water dishes he can tell you the brands ect (I have non left now to check) know the clay was das clay £4 per block on amazon and think I payed £15 for the sealant but it has outlasted 3 blocks of clay . I was told you can use fimo clay too but I have never tried it so can't recommend.

I know you can buy dried mushrooms too from the natural decoration bits in various on line shops you stick them to the side of the viv they look like the mushrooms that grow on trees but I have no idea what they are called and have been told they are hard to attach to the sides think u have to glue in magnets or something.

Yeah! Turkey tail is one of those, I thought about trying that too. I heard you can use gorilla glue, it's safe if you air it out but it does kinda make me nervous but I'll do some more research

 

[Charliemum]

You need the cyanoacrylate super glue or it isn't spider safe even once dried but tbh I always use my glue gun I can remove it if I need to that way works for most things n spray some cold water on it n it sets instantly
Edit
Actually I think you can get them premade on etsy with magnets so u can move them.

I need more spruced up enclosures soon. Right now I keep my audaxs just in mason jars with twigs and some plastic plants.

-age progression
For my Platycryptus undatus juvenile female. When she was a tiny juvenile she loved the enclosure like this. But her last molt she stopped climbing on the white and purple flowers so I switched them out for more cork bark.

As of now I have 1 male and 1 female, both immature.
