They are great,full of attitude and a lot for a new world.

 

[2G33K4U]

figure it would be a great addition to my friendly terrestrials
OBT's
Trinidad Chevron
Ven Suntiger

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

I have a Trinidad Chevron female,as well as Venezuelan suntigers only an Obt is not present since we aren't allowed to have them.

 

[2G33K4U]

Why are you not allowed to have them?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Why are you not allowed to have them?

They are a local genus,our law does not permit having these in ones collection. There is positive and negative things to this,so let's say it has a balanced outcome.

 

[2G33K4U]

so OBT's are running around the area you live?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

The genus is found in South Africa,making the obt illegal being from the same genus.

My Lampropelma Sp. Borneo Black rehoused.

 

[2G33K4U]

Pretty cool. is that a glass front or Plexiglas?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

The cage is full on glass,I dislike plexi glass due to the fact with high humidity Tarantulas the enclosure tends to warp etc.

 

[2G33K4U]

So you did the glass cutting and all? I am guessing you used glue gun for the hinges? doe sit hold up well?

I don't make the enclosures myself,but I do make the hides and backing and some other decor. There is a guy close to me that makes the enclosures,he is super cheap to say the least.
