I'll get one posted when i get my cam.Scorp guy said:It'd help to get a pic of your enclosure
Thanks marrrrrr... I have to say no to your idea of closing gaps with tape, as a brief look at what my poecilotheria sling did to tape in one night will ably demonstrate, is not a good idea:maarrrrr said:cerbera,
that looks great! question though... do you guys think i could cut something like a door on the side of a deli cup? i would then use tape to keep the "door" cloesed. would that be a good idea?
thats exactly what im using now. i got the sling from him too. my problem is that the sling uses the lids corner as its hide. sorry still dont have my camera. also the one i made looks too big. im wondering if the sling could get its food.tarsier said:i just used one of those microwaveable plastic containers they give take out food in. Soldered airholes on top.
they grow so fast. picked up my smallest pokie sling (an ornata) from subic_spiderworld last november at around the size your regalis is now. its around 5 inches in legspan now and is in a 5 gal KK on its side. moving it to a 10 gallon aquarium in a few months.
i put in a small piece of wood leaning against the wall of the container. it used the piece of wood as a base for its webbing (it made a scrape or lean-to).maarrrrr said:thats exactly what im using now. i got the sling from him too. my problem is that the sling uses the lids corner as its hide. sorry still dont have my camera. also the one i made looks too big. im wondering if the sling could get its food.
That's just unlucky, I guess. Its a blancing act with how big you make that hole in the middle of the inner roof - big enough to feed through, and have some mobility with tweezers, but not so large that the spider doesn't recognize it as a the top, and consistantly climbs,and therefore makes its home higher...Derekool said:But what happens when the spider sets up shop in between the the base lid, and the ventilated lid?
Was there somthing I missed?
