Very encouraging @Dave Jay. I'm glad I could contribute some input. I have been dreaming of creating a YouTube profile strictly focusing on naturalistic vivaria for Theraphosids and Dendrobates. I am still in the process of creating some content but my Youtube account name will be the same as...

Incorporating a rich soil composition is definitely worth the while. The abundance of micro and mesofauna is definitely the key to bioactive and prevent extreme mold growth. Additionally, the clay substrate mimics many, if not all of the tropical loam that would be found in a tropical...
@KezyGLA and @Arachnoclown it's just that I only have 5 tarantulas and they are all pretty common (excluding the Pamphobeteus). And sure @KezyGLA I will give it to you. The species is Pamphobeteus sp. Ecuador II
Borneo Biotope for P. everetti
This biotope project began on 16 August 2018, with the intention to create a naturalistic vivarium to mimic the microenvironment or ex-situ (excluding conservation) of the P. everetti's habitat. I've been contemplating if I should keep this project to myself (fear...
@patricia I can send you macro shot 1080p of M. balfouri if you are interested? Check out my gallery if you want to see some examples. Here's the link: https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/inex-situ-gallery.23482/
Interesting thread.
My substrate choice depends on the locality of my tarantulas. I make a bioactive set-up for all my tarantulas and try to incorporate the majority of the soil types found according to the tarantula's habitat. It does, however, take a lot of work for research and to acquire the...
I'm trying to limit myself to picking up only one tarantula per year. There's an expo coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm not quite sure which one to pick up. I have a couple of thoughts but overall would like to get some of your picks. Thanks in advance!
