More T Rooms!!!!!

[ChrisNCT]

Labels

I used Microsoft Works Word Processor to make them. I put the Tarantula drawing / lines and text where I had wanted them and then outlined the whole thing. Then I duplicated it right below. You can save this image as a jpeg or something.

If you have Microsoft Works Word Processor, I can email you the file for you to use. Or you can just save it and print them to your desire.


Here is a scanned image of them so that you can get the idea.

Well I can't have a T room because I live in a college dorm, but my T and I manage to get by on the small space that we have

Also that's not a heat lamp, very low watage. I just turn it on sometimes just cause it looks nice, she doesnt seem to mind but most of the time its off.

Terrible photo but there are forty spiders crammed in there...

You guys need to look at some space saving ideas!

LMAO..

space saving

Wow.......I do have to say that you have saved allot of space by now allowing your t's to do some of the things that they live for in life such as:

A. avicularia being able to climb
P. fasciata being able to climb
P. regalis being able to climb
P. metallica being able to climb
P. miranda being able to climb
C. elegans being able to dig and burrow
B. smithi being able to dig and burrow
B. emilia being able to dig and burrow
H. maculata being able to dig and burrow
H. lividum being able to dig and burrow
T. blondi being able to dig and burrow
A. geniculata being able to dig and burrow
A. bicegoi being able to dig and burrow
C. crawshayi being able to dig and burrow
X. immanis being able to dig and burrow

and quite a bit more.

All I can say by looking at your collection in a small area: Is the reason I give my T's allot of room or enough to enjoy different areas in the tank and enclosures so give them an enviroment such as caves, hides, rocks, trees, branches & substrate variety. I am thankful that I am not your pets.

Sorry to sound rude but you have to look at it from my view.

T in a tight spot

Well Tescos... I think that my flame towards that poster is more justified than adding your .02 cents here.

I prefer them to have more area to give them a natural feel on their area.....it's like you living in a room the size of a half bath. Then again, by your post maybe you do that. No?

Um, aren't these two were arboreal? If my H. maculata live for burrowing, they sure don't do much of it.

Chris,

I agree with you about Ts needing appropriate space to climb/burrow/etc. I feel that we should try to mimic their natural habitat as much as possible. Of course, some species need more room than others. I have my G. rosea in a 10 gal. and I feel that it's adequate. However, I'm not very experienced with tarantulas and don't really know how much room each species actually needs. Is there a standard to go by (other than as high as the leg span)? Has anyone here ever had a problem with enclosures that were too small or not appropriate for the species?

basically, to answer a serious question, in a thread that got silly...
they don't need much room (however, a matchbox is a bit small for an adult)
some people keep full grown tarantulas in plastic shoeboxes, it works for all but the largest species.
Others will put them in 10-50 gallon glass aquariums.
The only possible issue with an extra large enclosure for a very small sling is that it may have trouble locating prey items. Otherwise, it's pretty much an individual choice...
