[QUOTE="RichardF, post: 33176, member: 3378"] Hi all. I'm new to the site and thought I'd share my enclosure for my female Red Trapdoor. I took a different route than most. Instead of using the plastic jar that almost all use, I purchased this 1.5 gallon jar- [url]http://www.wasserstrom.com/restaurant-supplies-equipment/Product_700758?kwid=productads-plaid^82982717564-sku^700758-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^45649633484[/url] For substrate I used potting soil and a little bit of Reptisand. I also threw in some moss to keep some humidity in and some mulch for the trapdoor to use. I think the finished result turned out beautiful. [ATTACH=full]7091[/ATTACH] This was the day I got her! As you can see, she was not happy at all. [ATTACH=full]7092[/ATTACH] Here she was digging out the burrow more and constructing the trapdoor. She took to the premade burrow! Success! [ATTACH=full]7093[/ATTACH] Here is the jar. I cut the top portion of the lid off for air. [ATTACH=full]7094[/ATTACH] Different angle. I keep a piece of paper taped over the burrow so she doesn't get upset. [ATTACH=full]7095[/ATTACH] She is still digging out the burrow but it looks like she made herself at home. [ATTACH=full]7096[/ATTACH] Her trapdoor is camouflaged perfectly! What an amazing creature. I'm very impressed by the amount of work she has done in the three weeks that I've had her! [MEDIA=youtube]sASufZ8zlCE[/MEDIA] And here is the video of her feeding. Sorry the video sucks, I was using my cellphone and thought I had it all in picture. This is the first spider that I have owned (I know people say this species should only be owned by experienced keepers) And so far I really, really enjoy having her. I know people find them boring, but for me, watching them feed outweighs them doing nothing 90% of the time. I might be getting an African Black soon as I have a spare jar! Enjoy the pictures and video, cheers! [/QUOTE]
