They're everywhere, we gave up putting them outside years ago. There must be a lot if two walked across my computer in an hour, I bet there's at least one for every picture on the wall, that seems to be their natural habitat so why put them out? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I think last night they were attracted to the heat of the netbook, with the power out it got very cold very quickly, the wind was literally straight off the antarctic ice according to the Bureau of Meteorology, hopefully my animals haven't suffered too much, the power was off for about 8 and a half hours.I do have an orange Badge Huntsman in an enclosure, it was on the kitchen bench looking very out of sorts, I think it must have had a run in with the spiders in the kitchen window frame. It seems fine now though, just unphotogenic, it scrunches up when I try to take photos.Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple of the enclosures Belinda set up yesterday. While shopping for decor for enclosures I came across lots of miniature ornaments for terrariums and aquariums and I thought she would enjoy making miniature scenes for a giant mutant tarantula to terrorise! I have even bought miniature sheep, light posts, garden benches and lots of other bits and pieces to make miniature villages and various scenes. Not every enclosure needs to mimic nature as long as the needs of the animal are met I think, why not be whimsical now and then?[ATTACH=full]29858[/ATTACH] This is the new Goliath, for reference the hexagonal tank it's in is 7" across from flat side to flat side.[ATTACH=full]29859[/ATTACH] The peasants are doomed!!![ATTACH=full]29860[/ATTACH] This is the rubiseta I bought for her that was very thin on arrival, no problem now.
