[QUOTE="FriendOrFood, post: 69910, member: 4275"] Just thought I'd share this with others bc I'm quite happy with it. Appologies if anyone else posted this idea in forums : ) So I wasn't very happy with my suspect male B Smithi and it's preference to live underground and out of sight. So I compromised with him a bit lol. :D I basically cut the top part off an overpriced Monster energy drink, and used it for a shelter/cave. I cut out an entrance on it for access. However, the first night he had the entrance remodeled with custom web substrating lol. Basically he completely covered the entrance (I'm still not quite sure how he leaves the shelter to get water, but he's def crafty, so I'm not really concerned:).) Obviously what I like most is just lifting the removable top to check on him, and I feed him in there too. I haven't came across anything else like this, so I thought I'd share it. Really he doesn't get jittery or stressed when I check on him (opening the top/cap.) He always eats, he even ate a day prior to his molt, which I was a bit surprised. [/QUOTE]
