New Housing

[Spoodie]

Just got this lady yesterday. I set her up in a 12x12x18. I'm having a tough time finding good wood for her to climb up. My local pet stores don't have much, but I did the best I could. Any suggestions?

What species is this tarantula?

 

[YungRasputin]

i get a lot of my stuff from nature itself and then sterilize it before putting it into the enclosure - such as boiling it, baking it in oven, etc

Needs more greenery at the top.

Sorry, I forgot to include that. She's an avic avic.

Ok. Gonna shop for more plants. Thanks!

 

[Spoodie]

Added another piece of greenery. I'm thinking about a third piece for the other side?

Did you make the ground a slope? I can't tell, but if you didn't have the substrate go a but uphill towards the back. Shocked the T is hanging on the glass

No, I didn't slope it. But I can definitely do that. She seems to really like that spot. There's now some webbing there and I haven't seen her move from there. She did eat today, though.

That in and of itself isn't an issue.

yes, but with all that habitat there, one would figure it would move

is the wood wide enough she can climb on it? Does it have a flattish surface it can set up shop?
and yes, I'd add a bit more substrate to the back to give it some slope

She's been moving around today. She went down to the bottom and caught a cricket. She's been kinda wandering around after she ate that.

Yes, the wood has a wide surface at the top she can hang out on if she wants.

you will note they will tend to look down when they are hungry

She ate three yesterday. LOL. I must have missed one when removing uneaten and she found it today.

Looks like screen top- if so, replace it or your T can get injured or worse
