    Enclosure Questions!

    I just recently got a Rose hair sling and she growing very fast, not sure if she just wasn't fed but I feed her one small mealworm every 2 days (Her abdomen is probably the size of my finger tip). She's growing fast and I don't want to keep her in a small enclosure but I can't find anywhere to...

    Acrylic enclosure

    Hi everybody, I’m new to the whole tarantula thing, that new I haven’t even got one yet (hopefully next week). I’m after getting a Grammostola pulchra sling next week and trying to set up an enclosure for it. I’ve bought a small acrylic terrarium and the bits but I’ve been keeping an eye on the...

    Avicularea Enclosure Size Question

    Hey there! I am just starting out my journey into tarantula keeping and I'm not sure what size of a tank to get. The spider I'm getting is an Avicularia Purpurea, hopefully female, so the leg span will be around 5". I have seen a lot of enclosures that are 8"W 8"L 12"H and i was wondering if...

    Is my Exo-Terra enclosure good for my T?

    Hear me out. I know the use of Exo-Terra enclosures for terrestrials is pretty controversial in this community BUT I have made quite a few modifications to my 12x12x12 cube for my curly hair and would like to get your opinion on it. First of all, the pesky mesh lid had to go. It's been...

    Best 5/6 gallon enclosure for a T?

    Hey everyone! My T. Albo, my little bulldozer, has finally defeated all laws of gravity with her tunnels but she is not quite happy with her work yet. It's clear she finally needs more space and I've been looking for a tank everywhere but can't find exactly what I need. I'm in need of a 5 or...

    Putting Slings in Their Adult Enclosures?

    I'm planning on getting an N. Incei, which will most likely be sold at 1-1.5 in. They grow to 2.5-3 inches (from most of the sites I've seen). I've bought an 8x8 reptizoo enclosure from amazon and I was wondering if it would do any harm to put it in its adult enclosure as a juvenile and never do...
