What u been up to Galhardo? As i noticed around here u did a great job on your enclosures, indeed.Your effort really amazed me, and therefore makes me wonder how much time and money u went thru it.Those are pretty good pics!

Hi Gustavo, how are things going in Rio?

Look I didnt spend any exta money than I would with regular tanks, because I just bought the earth, sand and vemiculite all the other elements were found in nature, not in stores. As you know in Brasil we find them "by the estreets".

 

[TheNatural]

Obviously a lot of work but worthit. They look great, congratulations

A little bit more work than usual. but I really have a lot of fun setting them up, I don't see the time going.

But its a brazilian spider anyway, from the southeast region of Brazil, São Paulo state.

Very nice macro, poor roach :> nice looking spiders! Congratullations! I have to try to do the same tanks as you... more natural you say

Something I forgot to ask earier - would you be so nice and post some pictures of what the ventilation looks like and possibly explain it a bit if need be? Since vent seems to be one of your priorities I'd really like to see it with my own eyes

[joe8421]

this one was designed for my p. irminia.
Very high humidity, but no fungus at all (very good ventilation)

Hi joe,

Actually the flash makes the contrasts of the photo little bit different from the real scene. So this one for ex looks wet, and it is not. I keep a very high humidity level in the substrate for almost all my arboreals, but not wet.

All my plants (ALL) are collected, I find them really by the streets.
I must thank god to be brazilian because for one who loves the nature...
I must consider myself blessed!

When I had my time living abroad, I used to say...
IN BRAZIL WE HAVE: GOOD EARTH, SWEET WINTERS & STRONG SPRINGS!!!

cirith,

I dont think my enclosures vent systems are better than anyone else, as you can see on this pix, but I have a trick!!! ...
I have one of that big "ceiling helix" (I dont know the name in english) and I keep it always on, but slow speed, and it is just direct above the terrariuns!!! I hope this tip helps, because it really works! But You must provide highier temperatures and a very good hidding place for tou T or he is gonna catch a cold!! heheheh.

ceiling fan? to circulate the air. Good idea, I don't have one here, but at home when my fan was on low you could barely feel it, would be perfect for that needed circulation though

 

[Crimsonpanther]

I also use colected plants, thank's god we can find it here in the streets.. but when I want to make something more specific, i'll walk around the farm. there's allways nice things to colect and help in the terrarium construction.
Brazil is really very nice when we talk about nature, we have thousend's animals sp's, very nice weather and beautiful woman all around
