live plants?

Yes... always live plants, but they must be clean ones.

What kind of lighting are you using? Are your T's very active? I use red light on all my tanks and obviously the T's do what they'd do at night, which is...erm... sit and mostly do nothing :D, but every once in a while I can observe some digging, cleaning and other stuff. Do you see that too with your lights on?

Could you also explain the plant cleaning in more detail? I'm really tempted to rebuild my tanks into the direction you've shown here!

Awsome!

illumination

Hi cirith,

I use fluorescent and incandescent during the day and red lamps (15w) for the "night time fun".

are those real plants etc? i plan on doing something very similar when my 'younguns' get bigger. i like natural forest looking setups (when needed) the setup itself is something to look at too, not just the spider. very good job. {D

very nice, is that one aqarium with dividers and if so what gallon?
No they are separated enclosures, you must have independent humidity systems, for ex... when you know one of them is about to molt you put the humidity a little higher but only for this T, not for all this 5.

Hey cirith, they're easy to set up, as you saw on the pic I've made it myself!

Very nice! I love the natural "feel" of your enclosures. You must have some happy T's!
