    Cylindrical enclosures

    My main issue with a cylindrical enclosure like this would be battling reflections when getting photographs.

    Tarantula Fangs Macro Shots

    (It linked again so this has been one amazing fail but at least you can click through and see the third image if you want)

    Tarantula Fangs Macro Shots

    For some weird reason the S.calceatum fangs only linked rather than embedded so I've thrown that shot here.

    Tarantula Fangs Macro Shots

    I've been getting into Macro Photography recently so my new thing is taking photos of fangs which look absolutely amazing close up. Chromatopelma cyaneopubecens (Sub Adult) Caribena versicolor (Juvenile) Stromatopelma calceatum (Adult) It's a really fun genre of photography to get into...

    Phoenix, my A.chalcodes. First try at blackout photography.

    Question About Starting

    Personally, I would look for a breeder. A lot of pet shops stock wild caught specimens and aside from ethics, they're often likely to sell you a mature male.

    Question About Starting

    Arizona Blondes are so pretty in person but you could consider me biased. Mine is an absolute sweetheart, very predictable in her movements and behaviours and I always recommend them to beginners or people with more natural trepidation around spiders. Husbandry is also very simple which I...

    GBB Enclosure build

    Few pics of my recent enclosure build for Beyoncé, my female GBB. it was @Arachnoclown on here who filled in a blind spot in my knowledge a few months ago by letting me know they live semi-arboreally so I've added some height to her enclosure. She's growing at a rapid rate so will fill it out...

    First Arboreal Build - Psalmopoeus irminia

    www.arachnosys.de/en Unfortunately they're low on stock as Tom Moran featured their enclosures so sales went crazy but they're restocking soon.

    First Arboreal Build - Psalmopoeus irminia

    Thank you! She's been pretty reclusive in her cork bark tube as expected but I catch her legs hanging out the top occasionally. I hear they are fast growers so you won't have to wait too long. Got a P.metallica build to do shortly so will probably go with a similar look.

    Standing tall?

    Stilting! I notice this behaviour lots after feeding but I've seen it other times too. Maybe it's to keep food away from the ground? I have no idea if there's any science behind it. That's probably zero help .

    Does anyone own a birupes simoroxigorum?

    I only have a sling but can confirm what's said above. Quicker than a hiccup so be prepared whenever you pop the lid. Give it a little bit deeper substrate and treat it like any other Asian fossorial. Tom Moran has a good husbandry video on Youtube so I basically followed that.

    First Arboreal Build - Psalmopoeus irminia

    I've got the glued water dish which lessens my options a bit but hopefully I'll be ok. Thanks for the input!

    New tarantula mom

    Don't worry. There's a lot of people over there who take 10,000+ posts on a forum as attaining God like status. When they ascend to this level, the time when they were a beginner and had questions they'd prefer to discuss with an actual human is wiped from their memory and replaced with a...

    First Arboreal Build - Psalmopoeus irminia

    This is my first attempt at an arbroeal build for my new Psalmopoeus Irminia. Absolutely stunning tarantula, really pleased I invested. I know I won't see her much but I'm fine with it. It'll be worth it when she pops out to say hello.
