    unfortunately it died. I think it died before I made my last post. I was just leaving it alone but after a few days it hadn't moved and it was dead. I got an 8x8x12 enclosure and put in substrate,a piec of flat cork standing up un the corner and a fake green plant up high and a small flat water...

    Thanks. I've ordered the exoterra 8 x 8 x 12,some more coconut fiber stuff,i hav 2 small "pucks" that came with the zilla but I thought that may not be enough,some vermiculite and a large cork flat. I'll use one or 2 of the fake green hanging plants I already have. My idea is get everything set...

I think I am on the "right track" just enclosure is too big and I need substrate. what size is the one in that setup video? I think it's an exoterra? What about the screened lid? Mine had a screened lid but I...

    OK I never thought of that. On the enclosure in your photo how do you open it to put food in there? Have you got a suggestion for a proper enclosure?

    I thought in a different post you had stated they don't need substrate,and you posted a picture and said the moss is only in there for the crickets? That's why I didn't put that cocoa fiber stuff in there that came with the terrarium. What enclosure would you suggest? Would it help any to just...

    i just dropped a couple wax worms in there.It was sitting near that small dish and I touched it and it took a few steps to where it is in the picture. I realize the enclosure is probably too big. I had hoped to get a bigger spider but the guy had 5 or 6 of these and they were all this size. the...

    I got my first one saturday at noon. I'd say maybe it's 30 % full grown? I got it at a large exotic animal show they have at my town every month. The people selling go to different areas every week. It was in a deli cup with some dirt and moss,so I got it home and I just opened the container and...

    new zilla vetical terrarium

    I bought one yesterday and am new to tarantula. This is the 12x12x 18 inches high kit. I thought it came with like a log and some leafy stuff but that isn't included. It's got some coco stuff for the bottom and a tiny little water bowl. So just for starters I guess I need the cork log or...

I bought a zilla vertical terrarium kit yesterday. So I have about a 100 questions that I'm just going to ask in the applicable places. I'v had a...
