Is this setup good for a juvenile Poecilotheria regalis? Tank size is 8x4x8 inches. TIA.
I would personally add some cork bark for it to build is home on. That and maybe a bit more for it to build around. Large cork rounds or flats are nice. I've read that they will actually build up tunnels and burrow in the ground.Is this setup good for a juvenile Poecilotheria regalis? Tank size is 8x4x8 inches. TIA.
Thanks for the reply I will post an update about his/her new hide.I would personally add some cork bark for it to build is home on. That and maybe a bit more for it to build around. Large cork rounds or flats are nice. I've read that they will actually build up tunnels and burrow in the ground.
I have found that mine has progressively build deeper and deeper into the substrate as it has gotten larger.
Here's my girl after a molt:

Thanks for the reply I will post an update about his/her new hide.Instead of that little stick, add a big piece of vertical cork bark. They will web behind it. That stick may not be the best for a hide. Just add a big piece of flat bark on one side of the enclosure and it should be much better
@Bry, what size are those Hobby Lobby model boxes you are using above?I would personally add some cork bark for it to build is home on. That and maybe a bit more for it to build around. Large cork rounds or flats are nice. I've read that they will actually build up tunnels and burrow in the ground.

Those are the 15x7x6 ones i think.@Bry, what size are those Hobby Lobby model boxes you are using above?
Thanks! What size are the Ts? Trying to gauge their size against some of my Avics to see if I'd use that size container.Those are the 15x7x6 ones i think.
Also, it only took me a couple months, but I used 27 guage needle on those acrylic welds.... so sorry...
Update on a better enclosure setup. Thoughts about this setup is much appreciated.

X2 what viper said. If you want something simple that works, go buy a plastic reusable cereal box with a good lid and use a drill or soldering iron to make some small air holes.It's a BAD, BAD idea to use a setup that doesn't have a real lid, esp with a Poki! It's a recipe for escape, especially for those times when you MAY need to close down the lid. That setup has "problem" written all over it.
What's the beige container it's in for? Nice to see a water dish!
Then save up some money for a nice acrylic enclosure. But put your spider in something with a lid if you don't want a lost or injured or dead spider.The beige container is to keep ants away from the enclosure it has water in it. I'm planning on it but I don't want semi-transparent plastics, I can't see through it.
