Currently at 64% and 24.1C so I doubt its the humidity but I'll let the substrate dry a bit more incase it is and yeah I'm extremely scared of her falling or damaging a fang on the mesh.
Sally your T, SPLAT, lives in a death trap!
I'll get on that now, just read about it and realised how detrimental it can be to your TS. Bought the T in that enclosure and was told it was fine for it until it grows a bit bigger, my mistake.
The top view picture was taken almost 2-3 weeks ago just after I added new substrate, water bowl, hide etc. And yeah I didn't realised how bad they were until I did some research, currently will be moving the T to a larger plastic aquarium (similar to exo terra faunarium) until I can get something to replace the mesh.
It's probably Spider Life (aka overpriced sedge peat & coarse vermiculite mix) which is basically black anyway.
Either acrylic with holes drilled into it, expanded metal, or perforated sheet metal are all safe alternatives to woven wire mesh. You should be able to order all 3 cut to size (you'll have to drill/melt holes into the acrylic yourself though), any of those options can be fixed to the lid using aquarium silicone (you can pick stuff that sets in like 2hrs and stops smelling after 24hrs off eBay/Amazon for a fiver).
Well its okay, and glad to hear you are willing to rehouse it, I would do that ASAP since it is climbing on the mesh now.
Ohh okay I see, I hadnt heard of that stuff before, hhopefully its just that and not really moist.
Yeah, I think you guys across the pond mostly use sphagnum for peat which makes it various shades of brown so if you're not used to seeing sedge peat then it always looks sopping wet (even if it isn't).
Yes we do mainly only get sphagnum peat moss over here, which always is a lighter brown naturally. Glad you hhave more information than I do, cause I was thinking that geniculata isnt going to be fond of substrate that moist, at first I thought it may be the reason it was climbing. But it sounds like its just sedge peat so all good, thhanks, I learned something about your peat just now!
Ah, you are the guy with that great drill machine...
sadly my machines are so booked I can't get my production run up and running.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with it, but are there any amateur machines that are in relation to the hobby in terms of acquisition costs? Or does it only pay off if you use it professionally?
I am a graphic designer and work in retail display so I have 4 table cutters available (when not slated for other work) and tons of scrap, top grade Plex/Acrylic. I haven't tried as a venture yet, but when I do I will let you know.
