    Another new T...
    Got a 1.5" A. avicularia today for my wife. The container is a little 4"x7" display case she found at a thrift store for $0.50. She bought all 5 containers, so I have a feeling we will be getting a few more arboreals here soon. Maybe a P. regalis or A. versicolor or both. :D

    Thanks. Jamie's Tarantula's sells basically the same setups for $12.95 each. All I had to do was drill a few holes for ventilation and throw in some decorations we had gathering dust on a shelf. So for $0.50 each I certainly cannot complain. It actually came out pretty sweet I think.

    Good looking little T, and awesome enclosures! It's amazing how much people can charge for a plexi box haha. The setup looks great!

    All of ours seem to do that. None have ever been webbers, though. He built a heck of a web in the couple days he was at the store, so hopefully he does the same for us. I think that would be neat to watch.

    I love Jaime's enclosures, and they also come with all the accessories too, so that may be why it is more costly. However that is a STEAL!

    Cute, love it.

    That is so awesome looking. I have a terrifying fascination with Ts. As in i want to see them and find myself not being able to look away from them, but i'm terrified of them at the same time, haha. :oops:

    I love watching them, but I do NOT touch them! I have held them before to try and get over my fear. It didn't work. Scorpions, however, no way, no how! I don't even like looking at them. Pretty much any other bug, I don't mind. We have roaches and stick bugs and I'll handle them anytime without fear.

    I LOVE feeding my T's. They're very fun to watch and the web building is awesome.
