Seems pretty small, but there's a great deal on one on craigslist so I'm wondering what I could put in it...

So is the solution to then stop feeding your T all together until its abdomen shrinks OR to feed it smaller meals less frequently until its abdomen shrinks?

Just out of curiosity how DID you go about cutting it? I used a drimmel for the acrylic I used ontop of my 60 gal fresh water, but it isn't exactly pretty. (then again it is significantly larger)

Cool, I was feeling the same way and haven't feed mine in around 5 days. Is abdomen size a good indicator of when to not feed your tarantula?

Thanks, thats good to know! I probably wont go the partitioned rout as I have no idea how I would cut the partition to me so snugg.

Thanks for the link! I think the winner is clear simply from a composition stand point, but what do I know...

Thats wicked cool! Some day when I have my own kids they won't have to worry about hiding their 4 hissing roaches in a quart container in their desk *cough cough*

And will they be comfortable with 2.25 gallons for life?

I'm trying to familiarize myself with head to abdomen sizes and I noticed that yours is at about the same ratio as mine. It would be sweet if someone were to confirm that we're within healthy parameters. Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about it now, but when a T gets bigger they can pile up the substrate all the way up to the lid and then use the leverage of their bodies to pop open the container. Just something to think about!

Sweet set up! Whats the volume on those cages? I think I will follow your cork bark example today if I can find a log of the right size!

Legality isn't an issue I live in California, but my parents would flip their **** if I started a roach colony! Besides, I only have one gecko and one subadult tarantula to feed. I would be overrun in a month! When I'm living in my own house and can have walls of lizards and Ts I will be all...

How big/tall of a tank?

I'm super jealous, I can't wait until I live somewhere I can have a colony of my own!

I am unable to find the photo submission post...
