Hello. So, in preparation for my new Ts' arrival, I put together this enclosure for the B. smithi sling, which I purchased at 1/4" inches from MIchael at Inland Exotics and decided to share the process in pictorial form for newer (or experienced) members of the hobby to enjoy. I will be posting the fashioning of the P. murinus' enclosure when I see what is what with its size etc. They are due to arrive in the post later this morning. Hope you like it
1. I started with the sling enclosure I got from Jamie's Tarantulas when I got my very first sling round about two years ago now, my GBB Jewelz, and a tiny seed pot I found at a craft store.
Filled both cup and enclosure with fresh, slightly moistened cocoa fiber, and sterilized a small stone I had in my box of "spidey stuff" The stone is there to give the sling a drier, harder place to hang out on if it gets tired of its moister hide, and I prefer the cocoa fiber as substrate because it cuts down on the chance of mold.
Buried both the stone and the seed cup into the substrate....
And VOILA!! There we have it! A 1/4" B. smithi sling penthouse worthy of Paris Hilton herself!! (were that she were as easy to please as a T )
