I just ordered a E olivacea sling from Jamie's. $90 is expensive, but it's like an OBT at a black tie party in a way. If it wasn't so much, I would've gotten 2 of them.
Here's the cage I built.
I guess you can say that I was screwing around. Since this is a juvenile cage, the T will eventually grow out of it & I want to be able to clean it up later. It's not a forever home because this isn't a dwarf species.
Best of all, the only thing I needed to buy were a few very small aquarium plants from Walmart. I'll probably put black paper on the back of the cage. I'll only tape it at the top so that I can lift it up and see the tarantula.
I also put in a small water tube so I don't have to open the feeding port to add water. These guys are supposed to be like the OBT & I don't want to stimulate the tarantula for no reason. If the sling is big enough, I'll pull the tube and just use my squirter instead of a dropper.
