To be fair, is he really out of line for making that assumption? I mean, there's substrate with a decent amount of webbing laid down...I don't think it's so far out of the realm of possibility for someone to assume that that was the spider's permanent home.Syndicate - they don't live in those enclosures - they never stay in them longer than 1-2 days - when they come home they go into assorted acrylic boxes
i don't clean them out intentionally so they're comfortable for the ride.
Nice job assuming that they live there though ! Im glad I can count on you for all your negative assumptions.
Keep up the good work!
Hey I'm not trying to start any crap..Its just sad to see adult tarantulas squished into tiny dirty containers.I'm assuming you sell them like this at shows?I've seen other dealers at the NY show here selling in those cubes to.You can do whatever you want with your spiders man I just don't understand why you would even bother trying to get those spiders in there.I'm sure they don't enjoy it much!

I totally understand where you're coming from. The only point I was trying to make is that from the point of view of the casual hobbyist who comes on here, they might see the tiny enclosures you have the spiders in and assume that that is how you permanently keep them housed. They might not know that you're a dealer and constantly pack up and drive from show to show. No worries, buddy.All my haplo containers for travel look just like that, the "dirty" ones - the walls are covered in webbing and they usually have little haplo holes and burrows.
I put the haplo's back in the same containers that they prefer- the ones that they work hard in on the weekends - they actually prefer to web-up the ventilation holes too - they don't want anything getting in.
i figured it made the most sense - they don't want light getting in ... so I just re-use the same enclosures for Haplos -
I would need a truck to travel around with several hundred critter keepers - It just wouldnt work....
