Very Nice. Those setups look good for the tarantual and are also very appealing to the eye.

Good grief that is a fantastic setup! I would need to rent another apartment for something like that. I am so very impressed with that webbing - who does that? And who is the heat basking tarantula who wants the light on them?
These setups are very impressive.

Awesome! My only question is...i have thought about using the glass aquariums with the acrylic front and the vents. i like how they look and it would be a little cheaper. but they dont really get cross ventilation ....thoughts on that?
The basking light is for breeding purposes only. It is to stimulate certain species to drop.
As for those glass aquariums and acrylic lids, I've had no problems at all with ventilation. But, I do have a box fan running 24/7 in that room.
Ventilation is high in the T room.

Just made a couple, and have friends that use them, and have for years with no issues. They say as kind as the plexi front is vented and air is moving in the room, no prob.
I'm almost done mine. Just touch up the background I made and add the usual, and 1 P metallica

The bottom smaller one is hot glued in, the hinges connect the 2, and I cut it to literally be tight to where it has to be pushed with some pressure to close. For now, until I get a small locking acrylic clasp, there's a tiny "L" bracket on top. It really is so tight it can't be opened without serious force, but with kids, still want a simple clasp. They know enough not to open any of my T enclosures, but peace if mind
cool! yeah i dont blame u. i lock all of mine if they r large. especially if ur gonna be keeping a pokie or something like that in there. and to keep little fingers out.
Awesome SpiderDad!! The ones I have were given to my by a friend, I am getting a large amt. of various adult tarantulas in this week and the next, so I need to figure out how to do that.
Set up two brand new shelving units.
Other sections of the room:
The large shelves will be where the wooden shelves are in the above picture, and the wooden shelves will be in the middle. All against the window.

Hmm. Never seen that before, but I'm not a huge Poeci guy. Very nice enclosures.
I'm not either. Only ones I have are ornata, metallica, regalis, rufilata, and tigrinawesseli, but they are all breeder females. I also have a communal of 10 regalis, but that's it.
Here was the ornata
Cant say you don't like a mature female metallica, tigrinawesseli, or mature female rufi?!

Oh wow..definitely not saying that, gorgeous man..I have a regalis and juvie metallica, I do want to add a rufi sometime. I'm hoping my metallica turns black..
Why the hell would u want that Mass?
