First pic by me after she came out of her hide the day after a fresh molt, such a beautiful Lady!

Lucky me got to see yet another molt by my new additions, both in under 5 days! This is my T. Albopilosus Floofy during the molt and a glorious after shot, she really is a stunner

I never get a good angle to shoot my young S. Rambala due to habitat placement too near too many light sources (windows, etc.), but today I got at least a few decidedly "ok" shots of them, I'll take what I can get They are all legs, so that's their new name...for now

By the way, this is the little dummy who got themselves caught on a gluetrap after their daring escape a few months ago...they are eating and acting all normal now, I'm so grateful for that

This water bowl sprung a leak and I WAS going to toss it, but it looks like RuPaul decided it's now stayin'

This is my new enclosure for my Sericopelma Rambala, aka RuPaul. They seem to like it in there so far. I like the cross ventilation offered by the cheap, rubber band reinforced enclosure. I thought it would be a weak structure but it's very sturdy. If they make them larger, I'll happily buy more of them.

What's the name of the enclosure? I don't see the rubber bands. Looks nice tho. Curious to look them up

BETAZOOER Enclosure
The enclosure comes flat packed and it uses slots and tabs to hold itself together. The rubber bands go over the tabs to stop them from coming out (they are clear and hard to see once used). I've used a few smaller ones that use this method for my partners Jumping Spider collection, but this is the largest one I've used yet. I like it.

Very nice price. Interesting. Wish I could check one out before buying

It's Amazon, buy it, see for yourself if you like it. If not, return it. Easy peasey.

I finally got around to putting some backgrounds on and behind some of my enclosures. I think it helps out immensely in a living room setting. How do y'all think it looks?

Looks great, I like the last photo and set up. Pretty cool. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but are those 10gal? I would use them more if I had enough space.

I like that you got a little scenery on the sides too, very nice touch. Speaking of scenery is that Voldemort's wand i see there? I'm trying to polish up on all the wands in Harry Potter. So many of them in the movies. I was going to widdle my own wand, but when I got my material I liked it so much I just can't bring myself to cutting it. Rings like a bell though.

About ugh 7 years ago I did buy some of those crafting sticks and colored the handle end ala brachy colors. Its my brachy wand lol. I use it all the time for my T's.

Yes those are 10 gallon fish tanks, cheapest way to house my mid sized T's I could find. I added a custom plexiglass top that I drilled over 100 holes in to avoid them getting hung up on the screen tops, it works great

That is indeed He Who Must Not Be Named wand, I have the entire casts set, got it as a gift a few years back
