This is my first attempt at an arbroeal build for my new Psalmopoeus Irminia.

Absolutely stunning tarantula, really pleased I invested. I know I won't see her much but I'm fine with it. It'll be worth it when she pops out to say hello.

Looks nice. Make sure there's a water dish that's easy to swap out/clean & replace.

As long as you have a cork bark flat leaned against one side your irminia will make a dirt curtain hide behind it; and possibly burrow.

Of all the P irminia I keep, only the females have burrowed as juveniles and adults. They are fun to rehouse.

I've got the glued water dish which lessens my options a bit but hopefully I'll be ok. Thanks for the input!

It looks really nice man great job! And what a beautiful T you have. She is gorgeous. I have a sling that is already looking good but cant wait till she matures.

Thank you! She's been pretty reclusive in her cork bark tube as expected but I catch her legs hanging out the top occasionally.

I hear they are fast growers so you won't have to wait too long.

Got a P.metallica build to do shortly so will probably go with a similar look.
