Terrestrial Setups

[Code Monkey]

... and now a closeup of an arboreal setup:

A sling vial (not quite so professional looking as Tony's, but the same idea - plastic canvas and hotglue are your friends):

 

[Code Monkey]

The classic deli container for smaller Ts (also hotglued with mesh for excellent ventilation):

And for the el cheapo minimalist in all of you, my P. nigricolor's salsa jar home (which is well burrowed although it's nigh impossible to see with this pic):

CM,
For your spiderling vials, I like your venting at the top. What did you use? and where did you get it. I have just puched holes and use some cotton fabric underneath, but I would prefer something more similar to yours.

It's plastic canvas sold for needlepoint and other crafts. You get it at, not surprisingly, craft stores like Michael's. It costs about $0.75 for a 8"x11" sheet of the stuff and comes in a variety of mesh sizes. You can cut and trim it all you want with ordinary scissors.

The only place I've seen those is Ebay. I snatched up seven as soon as I saw them.

Nylon Mesh for venting

As for the nylon mesh for venting a jar or container, you can get a roll of it at a paint store. It is used for spackaling and is about 3" wide.

Blessings, Al

I bought five of those small tarantula warning decals on ebay also. I was dissapointed in the small size of them. E. Anne from the ATS forums has redesigned them slightly and they come in a variety of sizes. I think Darrin from golden pheonix and even the ATS site might have them for sale. the ones I have are about 5x8"

I actually try to keep my setup interesting by having live plants in there with the substrates as mixtures of dirt and peat moss. The kind of plants I have can survive in any kind of enviroment, as long as I water them. Unfortunately, I'm a poor student who can't afford a camera for now.

This is my fanciest setup. The story behind all the broken pieces? Failed attempt at cutting a pot in half. After failing with a hack saw, I resorted to using a hammer.


I had it set up as a dual burrow type deal, but the only thing that ever used it were crickets. They'd run in and sit there until they died.

here is my setup for my G. rosea...nothing fancy at all...just pure vermiculite and a buried (not broken) flower pot...it is a 10 gallon aquarium...

from a different angle....

Scott,

What's in the top pet-pal on the right of the first picture? That's some nice webbing -- I like webbing.

Cheers,
Dave
