exo terra nano tall arboreal build

[octanejunkie]

Built this enclosure in prep for an adult arboreal, avicularia specifically. All the foliage is silk and there are several pieces of cork bark to create a "forest" type feeling.

Couldn't find a cork hollow tall enough so I cut to fit and glued two pieces together, disguising any obvious seams with moss. I attached the hollow "tree"to the floor of the tank with hot glue for stability.

Decided to try a high water dish so I glued a cup to a cork trunk and disguised it with leaves. I placed another cup inside it to make cleaning the high water dish easy.

The plan is to house an AF in here and pair her so the hollow goes down to the base of the tank and is 2.5" wide, hopefully big enough for an AF and her sac.

Fun tank to make. Let's see how successful this setup is in the long run.

Really nice setup. You advise to use hot glue? Or silicone for aquarium? Or is the same?
Im asking this because I thought hot glue was dangerous for Ts

I used hot glue but I let it cool, set and dry before introducing an animal to it. Never had a problem.

Here's another urban legend many have a hard time accepting

Rewind to July 2020, we housed an MF M6 named Rebecca in here and she didn't start webbing until recently... suspect a molt coming up

Beautiful build!

When using hot glue, once the piece is in place, spray some water on it. It'll set immediately.....just fyi
