A few more rehoused

[Enn49]

I'm going to have a load of rehousing to do over the coming weeks as I have new containers coming from spidershop.pl hopefully this weekend. Part of the forward planning involved rehousing a few to make room for the next batch to be accommodated.

I began with the smallest, Amapa, my Pterinopelma sazimai who made a bid for freedom by running up my arm. Easily caught but it did not want to go into its new bigger home. Success in the end but I couldn't get a decent photo.

Next up was Tulcan, the Psalmopoeus ecclesisticus who was a little easier

Lastly I rehoused Kallang, my Omothymus violaceopes, that I haven't seen for months. It was so easy to catch although I did have to empty everything out of the old container as it was buried in the substrate at the very bottom hence the sub on its back.

I managed to get a photo of Amapa, the Pterinopelma sazimai now it's calmed down.

Yes, I have an ornata and a metallica, both in what will hopefully be their forever homes now so no more fun with the Pokies.

Love the pics Enn. I have two of the three here, but mine are still small, so I love getting to see what they will grow into.

May I request pics of the whole enclosures? You've housed quite a few tarantulas and I'd love gain some insight from all of your experience. I still have much to learn.

This is the 4" cube that the P. sazimai has moved into although it seems to be growing fairly quickly so I guess it won't be too long before another move will be needed.

The other 2 have moved into 8x8x12", both set up basically the same way. The catch cup is still in there as both Ts are hogging the doors so I've not been able to grab them yet or fill their water bowls.

Thank you Enn. They are lovely. You set a good example!

Thank you, I do try. The P. ecclesisticus has already started webbing behind the cork bark so I have managed to get the catch cup out.

Beautiful set ups...glad to see someone else is up to their elbows in rehouse projects too.

Very nice enclosures and set ups. Where do you get the glass to make those ? Out of curiosity

I buy the containers ready made from spidershop.pl in Poland. I have some more coming this weekend so I shall be rehousing more Ts soon.

Oh ok European style. I've looked into making them but I would go broke trying . I haven't stumbled on a cheap pre cut glass source yet. Fun stuff right it's a never ending battle. Where do you do your transfers at?

Yes. He uses a courier to send them by van, no customs at the moment although what will happen after Brexit I don't know. He has said he's not using the courier any more as he's had too many breakages plus he has to get up in the middle of the night for them to collect. I managed to twist his arm this time but it may be the last. It'll be a pity as any Ts I order come in the van free with the containers so they were only in transit for 48 hours in a warm van as opposed to 5-11 days by post.

So you buy an enclosure and get a spider too that is the way to go. I had to google brexit, vocabulary word of the day. I just realized you're in the UK everything makes sense now.

I have 7 new enclosures coming but I've only bought 2 Ts this time, running out of space as they grow up.
