haha i was scared of spiders less than a year ago! I have 93 in my personal collection at the moment and another 250 ish on the for sale shelves. Fear turns to fascination rather quickly!

I've never been afraid of them...it was just not really anything I had thought about keeping. I guess what I'd be more afraid of is tiny spiders that could crawl in my nose when I'm sleeping...

New girl From Damon.
A. hentzi. Makes me excited to hold back some of the babies I have.

Her new home.

Ohhh, she's pretty! I think I'm gonna make my T's home like that. It looks really nice.

Thanks!
That a huge part of why I like keeping Ts. I love making their homes.

Also got in 4 new H. macs. No good pics yet. Damon had one marked "P.I.T.A." So I thought I would unpacked that one first. She lived up to her label. I'm hoping that's the last time I have a H. mac running around on me :p

The H. macs look a bit intimidating from pictures online...lol

The little circles on the sides of the tank, that's for air, right? How do you do those and make them look so uniform and perfect? I'm very OCD about things like that.

Haha yeah H. macs are nothing to play around with.

I buy loads of 1" tabbed vents. Measure it out and use a 1" hole saw.

Rich, that's a super neat enclosure! How did you make the "burrow"?

Thanks Crystal.
I used ZooMed Excavator Clay. It's kinda like working with a wet sand or grout.
Used half of a fast food cup to build up the burrow. Stuck the pants in before it dried. It also has areas of coconut fiber.

It does make it heavy. I used a 10lb bag. I'll keep you updated on how it holds up over time.

Ive seen some amazing terrarium setups with that excavator stuff. I gotta try it.
P.S.....what did you do with your pants??
:p

Oh absolutely. Wasnt really afraid, just didnt know anything about them and felt like they were kinda creepy

I love that enclosure rich!

My hmac is actually pretty calm. She can be quick if she wants to but is usually chill.

Thanks Mike! The H. macs seem settled in now and even webbing already. :)

Here is one of the H. mac set ups.

Sooo...

3skulls has talked me into it. I have found a spot for not just 1, but TWO T's. We're doing up the deal next week. :-)

I decided to go with a Chaco Golden Knee (G. pulchripes) and a Brazilian Black and White (N. coloratovillosus).

post lots of pics of your setup....I'm probably getting mine Sunday, so we'll get to compare notes here

I have a bb brazillian pink salmon bird eater :3

Have a couple question for ya Rich,

Eh GBB and LP is eating well and gbb made his house asap he got here. But A.Hentzi idk what to do with.. it is so tiny thing and I dont know what I should feed her:eek: she is beautiful though haha

"Snakes don't bite. Just humans."

Question for all you T people... Would a quart size mason jar make a suitable cave for a rose hair?

Louie, for the hentzi, just cut off a cricket head or large cricket legs and leave it overnight.

-------

A mason jar could work for a hide as long as its not chipped or cracked etc.

Oh, I was always on the dark side!

Ahh I see. Thank you:)
Any tips on their environment?
For Lp, GBB and hentzi? I am giving them spraying some water to their case but should I get them a little water bottle cap or something? And for moisture-wise, groung being bone-dry okay?

I dont have any experience with lp's or hentzis but i keep my gbb bone dry. No water bowl, no misting. Hes been doing great in that setup.

I did about 8 transfers yesterday so once everyone gets settled in i'll take some pics. I'm thinking they'll have some sweet setups going in about a week, a few were already renovating!

A great song ;) ...love Pink Floyd
sent from my incubator

Just picked up my first T!!

A. Versicolor sling....0.5-0.75"

got it and a container to put it in for $30!!


Will up load pics in a few

The hentzi you will want to keep the substrate moist but not soaked, same with the GBB.
The LP is big enough to give it a bottle cap for a water dish. Over flow it a bit once a week.
