My new 10" P. Ornata Enclosure Video Tutorial:

[robc]

I got this beautiful 10" P. Ornata today from Reptist and couldn't be happier. She is one of the most beautiful T's I've ever seen. I decided to build her a new custom enclosure all her own with a hollow hide that goes all the way into the substrate and a tree with custom tree bark waterbowl (you'll want to see this!) in it. Step by step videos below...hope you enjoy! Thanks, Rob

Very beautiful spider. I have not gotten to that experience level yet, but hope to one day. Also your enclosures, as always, are gorgeous. I built my first "realistic" terrarium today for my new Avic. versi, but am still a long ways off from your designs.

Again, very beautiful spider and enclosure. Keep us updated on how she adjust. :>

Rob,

What type of bark and wood do you use? I know you've done many tutorials so you've probably answered that question, but I'm really lazy tonight.

Thanks

I'm not really sure...I believe it's mostly Oak...it's just whatever is in the woods near my house. I find everything there - I just walk around until I stumble on something I think I can use...

Nice! great tutorial. Did you make that backdrop the same way as your previous tutorial? It looks quite a bit different than the ones i made. I will try and get some pictures today of the ones i made via your tutorial.

I love the pieces of wood. I wish i had better wood in my designs.

Awesome enclosure as always

The tank is a 30gal high and the lid I made...here's the tutorial - it's really easy to make and works great!! I love them and will probably, in time, make one for each of my tanks...

10 inches??

 

[robc]

10 inches??

As measured by Reptist (Brandon Anderson)...he actually said a little over 10". I haven't taken an 'offical' measurement of her, I don't want to stress her out. Her body is around 4"....she makes my 7" Regalis look small. She's the biggest pokie I've seen...and the meanest! She chases after you and she hits hard.

I must say that is one beautiful Ornata!!!! Thanks for sharing your big girl with us. :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[Brian S]

Damn Rob! Where are you finding these huge Pokies? LOL

A 7 inch regalis is no slouch either ya know
