Have any of you guys seen this? http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=19555&c=50.
Most people don't know what they're getting into. I've seen lots of old world tarantulas getting sold at pet stores to people who probably know nothing about them. Once they get home I'm assuming they look up the "care-sheets" online. IMO it's more of incorrect information than the people just being stupid (in general).Embarrassingly stupid. Those people should not own tarantulas.
Lmao that decor what on earth... poor tarantula
Perhaps like a pirateWith taste like that, I can only imagine how that person dresses themselves in the morning.
Correct. You miss:Ok just so I know what the problems here are, and to verify my own knowledge of a good obt set up:
Heat pad not necessary
Placement of temp and humidity gauges wrong
Temp and humidity gauges not necessary
Sub not deep enough
No really suitable hide
No access to fresh water (no water bowl)
Not enough anchor points
No vertical anchor points
Potentially hazardous decor
Did I miss anything?
Screen top + OBT = desaster waiting to happenCorrect. You miss:
- Enclosure way damn big
- Substrate too moist for a Pterinochilus murinus
Ah ah ah true. But the best is his/her T comment under the photo. Sounds like a Troll comment, if not for the pic who prove the (bad) truth.Screen top + OBT = desaster waiting to happen
why is this bad? not in support of the way this spider is being kept, but just being a curious noob hahaScreen top + OBT = desaster waiting to happen
Yeah, I remember. Welcome to ABAh ah ah true. But the best is his/her T comment under the photo. Sounds like a Troll comment, if not for the pic who prove the (bad) truth.
Oh btw, hello there. I've talked to you months ago on your Chilobrachys fimbriatus re-house video. I am that user who got for free that T housed in an arboreal enclosure, remember?
Most of these screen tops are either just layed on top of the enclosure with no whatsoever mechanism keeping them in place for one thing, meaning a determined spider can either nom its way through or lift it and escape. The latter I guess an OBT wouldn't be able to, but stranger things have happened. With a potent species like that, at least I wouldn't risk anything. Then again, I don't keep nor plan to keep them.why is this bad? not in support of the way this spider is being kept, but just being a curious noob haha

At best, the T will get it's feet stuck in the screen and possibly lose a leg. At worst, the T will simply chew through the screen and escape. I can't tell if it's one of those durable metal screens or not, but it certainly looks like typical window screens, the latter of which would be easy to chew through.why is this bad? not in support of the way this spider is being kept, but just being a curious noob haha
