Trantla enclosure

[NYAN]

Good laughs hear, thanks @NYAN. I want to see a centpde cage next .

It will be done, my lord.

You can't forget to spray the enclosure with perfume and to change the substrate twice a day, with feathers as the sub for nights.

That enclosure is nowhere near big enough

You mean for a sling, of course. As we all know adults should be kept in enclosures slightly larger than their leg span.

Sort of messed up that you don’t let your adults free roam the house. They aren’t babies anymore.

I feel 4 times a day is a much more logical number

Right? Plus they'll get the exercise they need without the wheel and you can train them to turn on the stereo by themselves eliminating the need to fire up the bass guitar quite as often.
Heck, if you leave the bass out and plugged in with some tablature books nearby, the T may even learn to play for itself.

I'm beginning to question whether @NYAN is actually fit to even keep this species

HA! Everyone knows adult T's get stressed when they're allowed to move. I read this on FB, so it must be true!

Would recommend setting the enclosure over an open fire. You don’t want the T getting too cold! Maybe get a few other species to put in with it so he doesn’t get lonely

Mixed species communal's are the wave of the future!

You forgot the sharp rocks to line the perimeter with for a soft landing, and make sure you handle it at least a few times a day so it loves you. Oh and I hear they like guitars..

They also need said rocks so they can periodically sharpen their fangs when they go blunt

Adults should have free run of the estate. There is no such thing as too big an enclosure*.

This is the way.

*People genuinely use that second sentence on FB and I cannot pull forth enough Pinhead facepalms from the ordered depths of Hell for this kind of nonsense.

Does your invert vet not offer fang sharpening during the monthly checkups? Time to look for a new vet.

You should see how much extra all the local ones charge you for it

I suppose they have to charge more down there, it must be much more difficult doing those kinds of procedures upside down. I wonder if one of the big online pet supply sites offers an at-home diy sharpening kit...

Wait but if they need to roam free then Nyan has to replace the floors of his house with sub. And yeah, 4 is better. safe > sorry

I think I once read that this species likes loud sounds, such as those produced by an electric bass guitar, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to serenade it nightly. Learn to play bass if you don't know how, so that you can keep it optimally.

I heard guitars too, but like, in drop d constantly

I am obligated to post this whenever it comes up.

I have one bone to pick with the original post. There are far too many words spelled correctly. Other than that everything looks perfect.

You're not far off, but dont you remember how flat earthers told everyone that Australia doesnt exist? After our hoax was busted us aussies had to return to the moon and sink the fake island known as Australia we were living on, so invert vets have to perform fang sharpening in near zero gravity. I guess ill go visit the crater adjacent to us and see if anybody will do it cheaper

Is that crater called New England? That's that island off the coast of Austria right?

Sure, if you want your T's to suffer from depression. I read a post on FB by a guy who's a scientist (I know he's a scientist because calls tarantulas by their LATIN names!) that freedom of movement causes depression in T's. I now keep my Goliath Bird Eater in a child-size shoe box and I believe it's much happier.
