Just got a golden knee :)

[jon ross]

Hi peeps im back up to 6 ts now.

I had a mate offer me a juvi golden knee with viv for 65 quid

I asked for a pic and i got a pic of a huge viv made for snakes that was brightly lit up and she was on wood chips

I wasnt that interested at first but after seeing how she was living i said ill give him 50 quid and he took it

Once there it was apparent that it wasnt 8 minths old as he was told as its bigger than my chille. I googled the golden knee last night and it said they can grow up to 22cm so i think this one still has some growning to do

She seems cery calm to as i spent a good ten mins trying to get her out of the coconut shes in and she never seemed to get stroppy, just wouldnt come out

Ive put her in a critter keeper with coconut media and a water dish and just left her in her home. Ince she cones out ill get a pic and steal her coconut and cut it in half as its a whole coconut with a hole in it lol
Also now ive got a viv big enough for some snakes

Congrats on the new addition! Can't wait to see a photo!

 

[jon ross]

Just for you josh



This is the viv she was in!!

 

[jon ross]

She still hasnt come out of that coconut lol

 

[HungryGhost]

Make sure the wood chips aren't pine or cedar. T's don't like the oils in those types of wood.

 

[jon ross]

Shes not on them anymore. She in a critter keeper with coconut media now. The viv was far too big and im not a fan of wood chips anyway

 

[jon ross]

This is how i have my setup now









As you can see ive got the golden knee in a critter keeper and the three slings all in the one large viv as like a display case. It serves a few purposes, its secure and the cats cant get to the slings and knock them over, it looks better and also i have a large heat mat suck to the back wall so if it ever gets cold i can plug it in and keep em all warm . Funny the heat mat says in a big yellow box DO NOT COVER. HIGH OUTPUT HEAT MAT. I found it under all the wood chips!

Oh and look at this. I have a new speices called an aboreal red chille lol

That critter keeper just seems so small for her, the coconut takes up all the room..I think you need a bigger keeper. Beautiful spider though.

 

[jon ross]

Yea i thought that too. Im going to het a bigger one very soon. Im waiting for her to come out of the coconut so i can chop it in half and have two shelters then
