15 years and full of life

...it could not be any better!

Had not seen my Chilobrachys andersoni for almost a year. She eats great and last night I caught her with a flashlight while she was sitting and waiting for food to walk by

Not the best picture, I took it through the glass…

Nice Ts

 

[menavodi]

Thank you!

Yes very nice. I know you posted this awhile ago but it came up in a search I was doing. What about using red lights? My tarantulas, all grammostola, don't seem affected by red lights so I set my late evening lights to red so I can often see them come out. G. rosea seem less inclined to use their hides anyway. But I have from time to time seen G. pulchra out and about in red light.

I do not use red lights. I have my lights coming on staggered, so each terrarium have a twilight area. At night I imitate the moonlight with low watt bulbs. I see mine mostly at night or after I spray.

I use red lights for observing Ts, I used full spectrum LED on occasion for plants but choose plants that can thrive in low to moderate, indirect light (house plants, natural room light)

I started another one. For C. versicolor

Rehousing is always easy like this.

 

[menavodi]

Did not take her long to jump in her new one…

 

[octanejunkie]

Enclosures looks good, and huge for that sling...

It is huge. They move behind the bark and stay there. It is easier to feed and control than you might think. She will stay in there. No more rehousing needed.

 

[menavodi]

And since it was so easy, I moved another one just now.

 

[menavodi]

It took her less than a minute to run up her new home.

She seems to be happy, a little bit like in a tree in nature.

I will keep you all updated on the development.
