[Mike H.]

Just took a few shots of my room tonight and a shot of my Poecilotheria regalis tank, her tank has live plants, she is around the 5 inch mark...

Hi Mike,
Very nice room! The plants are a nice touch and that is something that is missing from my room. I noticed that there are two corners in the pictures. It would nice to see the entire room. Great Job! :clap:

[Mike H.]

Poecilotheria regalis are arborial and not likely to fall in the middle of tank, not likely to fall ever for that matter...

WOW! That is GORGEOUS! I wish you weren't so far away, I'd invite myself over for a look-see, and then you'd probably have a hard time getting rid of me!

[YouLosePayUp]

His room definitely is drooliscious:drool: I was just there this weekend and OMG it's amazing. The set-ups alone are wonderful not to mention what happens to be hiding in each and every one of them:worship: :worship:

[thanci]

Great room. Are you using life plants in all tanks?

[Crimsonpanther]

Very nice and orginal room you got going there , looks like a fair bit of change went into that room ;)
Very kool encloure for the Regalis im sure its more then happy in there , my enclosure for my 5" Regalis is pretty simple a tall tank with a live plant growing in the middle. Yours puts mine to shame !
Thanks for sharing :clap:

[moricollins]

Allen, your room looks much better in person.... ;) very comfortable. I need my own house so I can dedicate a whole room to spiders :D


P.S. where are the pictures of the sling closet?

[Bedlam]

Amazing room!! :clap:
I can see myself chilling out on that couch a lot. Great atmosphere.
Lots of dedication and lots of love put into that room. Well done! :worship:

Heh heh, I live about 30 minutes away from him, if by Georgetown he means the one in Ontario. We could do some business lol.

Just giving you a tip..

[Mike H.]

Thanks for the tip....;)

Regards, Mike

[evilarachnid]

Very very nice set up :clap:

[Scolopendra55]

Very nice!! I'd never have enough money to put each of my T's in a $50-$100 tank though :rolleyes:

I started buying the exo-terras a year ago, one or two at a time, then by the time we moved I had 7 or 8 of them put away, the rest of the tanks are glass and I still have a few kritter keepers, but once the room is 100% all of my spiders will be in glass or exo-terra tanks...thanks for the compliments...

Regards, Mike ;)

[Midnightrdr456]

what kind of plant is that in the P Regalis tank? Very nice I would like to use that kind for my P Metallica once its ready for its final home

[solaceofwinter]

where did you get those shelves? looks great!

[Midnightrdr456]

you can buy shelves like that in Home Depot. We use them in our apartment for empty liqour bottles filled with water and highliter (for black lights). We have about 10-15 on each of the shelves so figure 10-15 handles filled with water (plus one them we have a black light and on one a football helmet). All these things add up to alot of weight so they can handle it.

Just get good screws to hold them up and in place

The plant is a Philodendron and they are very very hardy, they seem to grow well in all types of conditions, and eventually most of the tank will be filled with the plant, I plan on letting it grow kind of wild...

Regards, Mike

[IguanaMama]

I use philodendron in all my chameleon and gecko enclosures too, they are the BEST. Hardy, grow in all conditions and take a beating and still look good. Recommend. They grow fast, so if you get one of the little ones in Petco, you are sure to get one that is pesticide free. I would recommend that over getting a big one from a plant store, because they often use bug spray:eek: Also, there are a few plant stores in the city that are pesticide free, I forget where, but if I find them I'll pm you.

[becca81]

It looks amazing!

I haven't really been interested in the ExoTerra tanks, but seeing your setup makes me certainly want to go out and get a few.

Very nice! :clap:

[Endora]

This room is absolutly striking. You must have put a lot of time in effort to making your arachnoroombeautiful as this. You diffenitly succeeded in making me jealous. {D

[David DeVries]

Mike,

You have a fabulous set up and show there is a lot more to this mania than the buying of Tarantulas. I hope to upgrade my tanks and habitats now that I have aquired some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

David

[TheNatural]

Oh, ok mike.
They look so similar when small....

Did U know these leaves can get 1 meter big, or more :eek:
I have seen some giant Philodendron in the jungle down here.

[brigebane]

Nice room:clap:

[-Sarah-]

Hi Mike,
That is a brilliant setup you have there; I've never seen a tarantula room look quite that spectacular. You couldn't have possibly done any better! :clap: :)

Sarah

[RVS]

I believe that plant is a Pothos (Scindapsus aureus).
More hardy than Philodendron IME.
Gorgeous room!
