No problems whatsoever. The only complaint is that I don't like the ventilation holes having been drilled on both of the long sides. At least one of those should have been left for unencumbered viewing. They do it to save money because with this configuration that can be used for both arboreal and terrestrial configurations or so Jamie says.
I understand that. What I don't understand is that they have to put the ventilations on the long sides of the cage. They could put ventilation holes on one long side and the two short sides and leave one long side clean for unobstructed viewing. And they Alternatives they could at least put a roll of ventilation holes along the top but not smack dab in the middle. My only complaint about the cage. Other than that it works great. Outstanding Construction.
Great idea mate , I'm doing the same myself, I only got my first tarantulas less than 3 weeks ago. I'm on my phone or I'd put the link.My DD (7 yo.) and I are first time T parents. To journal our experience, keep records, ask questions and share photos, I am starting this thread. If there is a more appropriate sub-forum, mods please move.
On Wednesday, March 1, 2017, we received a 1/2" Grammostola pulchripes from Jamie's Tarantulas. She believes it was born October 2016. We are assuming it was October 31st just to make its life journal more interesting.
We set up the enclosure, misting the substrate and moss, and introduced the baby.
On Saturday, March 4, 2017 we misted again and placed one pinhead B. lateralis in. We did not see the T consume, but there is no sign of the lat. so we are assuming it was devoured.
The T has been mostly hiding inside the corkbark cave, sometimes suspended from the ceiling, or wedged between it and the side of the enclosure.
Yesterday we noticed it made quite the burrow. Busy little girl (we are calling her a girl in hopeful anticipation).
