[QUOTE="Wayne Rowley, post: 193294, member: 36953"] Hi there, My wife, a lifelong arachnophobe has now said that I can have a T! I've been interested and researching T husbandry for a year now, and over the last 6 months she has also shown a lot of interest. So a couple of days ago we went to the pet shop and came home with a 5cm c. versicolor juvenile T. [ATTACH type="full"]55818[/ATTACH] He/she came in a plastic jar with coco fibre and good cross-ventilation but no cork bark hide. I added a small strip of cork bark, and a water dish, but found working through the narrow opening of the jar difficult. So yesterday I built it a new enclosure using an air-tight food container, drilling the sides to provide cross ventilation: [ATTACH type="full"]55819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]55820[/ATTACH] Rehousing was easy - a gentle tap with a straw and she walked up out of the jar and into the new enclosure. [ATTACH type="full"]55821[/ATTACH] After spending 24 hours sat on the side he/she has now wandered off behind the cork bark and has started webbing up. Wayne [/QUOTE]
