    Enclosure pictures- B. smithi
    Just some pictures since I put my B. smithi into it's enclosure. It is big, but s/he hasn't had any issues feeding yet. The substrate is coco fiber tamped down with two small half flower pots (3" or 4"). I thoroughly saturated one side, and this is the side that s/he has taken up residence, completely covering the humid side hide. I am thinking of redoing it with a side-view floral foam burrow so I can actually see it, but I also don't want to change everything so soon. Thanks for looking!

    He's too cute for words! Looks nice and spacious. I can wait for my little A. versicolor to be ready for his/her big kid enclosure! :gj:

    Thank you! My partner was against the acquisition anyway, so keeping him in his vial-type container was out of the question. She had to have something that locked!

    I am on my phone but the set up looks really nice!! Overly big for it but i like to give my tarantulas as much space as possible when I can also!! Just watch for any signs of mold on the wood in there. Again beautiful tarantula and set up :gj:

    Thank you for the comments! Yeah, I am thinking the manzanita is gonna have to go...I probably shouldn't wait for the mold to come, it definitely will. And definitely waay too big, but I got the set up from Ken the Bug Guy so I figured if he said it was do-able then I was fine. Thanks again for the comments! Seeing all the pretty pictures of T's on here is what helped me take the plunge! :spid0r:

    Re: Enclosure pictures- B. smithi and Question
    So now she has herself completely burrowed in. I am wondering if I should try and feed still, or if she is possibly going through a molt? I am worried the the cricket will dig into her burrow and possibly injure her if she is molting. She ate 2 4 wk crickets last week. Thanks!
