hello to those of you keeping H.macs. What kind of enclouser do you use? Arboreal or terrestrial . Ive seen them kept in both. What do you prefer?

I keep mine in an acrylic 8x8x14 enclosure from Jamie's (arboreal setup). She hangs out near the top when she's out and about but she's in her webbed-up back corner the rest of the time. She even molted back there, diagonally, against the side of the enclosure. I rarely see her on the ground so I prefer the arboreal setup.

Iteresting. How big is yours? Mine is currently very small. Maybe a1/4 inch i have it set up as arboral it does both for me. It willl hang out on top. But Retreat to the bottom if startled .

I keep mine in an arboreal terrarium but rarely see it out and about, it spends most of its time at ground level.

Thats how mine is as well
About 5" DLS I think. Mine is out a lot and not as reclusive as ones I've read or heard about. I got her at around 4-4.5". You have pics?

As a sling they like to burrow so I used an old tub. Never saw her for first year then as she started showing signs of climbing I moved her into an arboreal house with a hollow Egyptian bust. Now she has buried herself at the bottom.... I know she alive as she squirts her poo at the windows

Heteroscodra are arboreal. I've never heard of them being kept as terrestrials like Brachypelma or something.

I have mine in a arboral set up. But its just stays under its cork bark. Ive only seen it behaving as a arboral once. But then again its only around .5"

At that size many arboreal slings will burrow. I tend to give them a little less substrate as they grow in the hope of encouraging the to move upwards.

Maybe they mean more sub then one would normally use for an arboral? I am useing a bit more for now since it stays under ground all the time. Hopefully that will change once it hits a inch

They are arboreal. But as slings they like to burrow. They come out to explore as juveniles. My stromatopelma calceatum is the same.

Mine didn't come out until she was at least 3 inches.....

Sounds about right for them to be more arboreal. I would love to measure mine But I never see her

Mine isnt even a inch yet but I'm sure it will get there in no time since they grow fast

Mine is a guess since I have seen it once when it was acting arboral for that one day
