Good for a gbb?

[Aracnoenthusiast]

Finally picked up a gbb. What do you guys think of the enclosure?

Excellent. Plenty of room to climb around. Lots of spots to web. Water dish.. Please make sure there is plenty of cross ventilation. This species does poor in a wet stuffy environment .

It's in a kritter keeper, so the top is heavily ventilated and the room usually has a ceiling fan running. If it seems to hold too much humidity I'll melt some vent holes in the sides. Thanks for the advice!

So far it.is exploring the top of the enclosure several times. Bottom is untouched d. But I think it's too wet still. Substrate was a bit moist out of the bag.

Gbbs like it bone dry. I wouldn't even overflow the dish

I use an enclosure like that for my GBB & I found I needed to put some paper across half the top of the enclosure, so that I could remove the enclosure lid & not destroy the GBB's webbing. The paper looks a little messy when the lid is off, but the webbing is no longer damaged & the GBB spends a fair amount of time in it's loft area.

Haze started to web, you'll never guess where haha, I might need to do the paper trick as well

It is not ideal, but it has kept the web intact & my GBB loves getting up on top of the paper.

Haze is settling in well, I offered a cricket and an hour later I saw legs sticking out of hazes' mouth so atleast it ate, even if I missed its first takedown

 

[Aracnoenthusiast]

Webbing it up slowly. More to come I hope. I did add 6 holes on each short side of the enclosure for cross ventilation

 

[Aracnoenthusiast]

More web every day in there. And successful feedings. Settling in nicely I'd say

Finally got to see haze take down some prey. Offered a super worm and haze didn't disappoint. Awesome
