That's crazy thin...

Yep. I walked past it in the shop because it didnt even look like insulation board. If I looked around I probably could have found some but I just went with it. I did my whole snake enclosure with it. 15x10x4 feet!

Well..... it didnt turn out how I wanted but it was the best I could do with limited lockdown supplies. Will look better ( I hope) when I get real plants and it grows in a little! ..... or I may donate it to the local primary school lol. At least it has the rear peep hole I planned View attachment 44514View attachment 44515please dont laugh too much at me!

I think that is really cool. One other thing I have learned to do with pokies is to block the bottom of the cork tube as part of the initial set up, so if you need to rehouse or clean, you can trap the spider by blocking the top with tissue or summat. take the cork tube out with spider in, clean enclosed and pit back without the little darling even knowing

I know I'm gonna get some stick for this. Just hear me out lol.... I dont fear getting bitten by a t. I actually am kinda curious as to what the results would be. A lot is said about the venom but not a lot is actually known for sure. I'm always in and out of the enclosures with my hands doing meaintenance. They dont even bother.

Hey .... I got bit by my snake last year. That made me say words I didn't even know existed! So how bad can a t be?

*** I DO NOT RECOMMEND MESSING IN SPIDERS HOUSES. PLEASE DO NOT DO WHAT I DO! ***

rumour has it that poecilotheria venom is the worst of all the Ts. In over 32 years of having Ts, never been bitten so I don't have any personal experience. A member who I dont see on here much anymore (which is a shame as he is very funny) had a video of an OBT bite he got. He used similar words as I recall. ROFL

I just deleted the reply I wrote as it's not what I want new members seeing. It's not the best of examples to set and I wouldn't like anyone to do the same
