[nakomis90]

ok i have looked into these for a while im just curious what do they need?
how big a box and what sort of home?
chrissy

there's my set up. water bowl, hides, humid hide with sphagnum moss in to help with shedding, food bowl, kitchen towel as a substrate.

then obviously a heat mat under there...

humid hide

a hide on the cool side of the tub

hide on the warm size

for the tank.. a 2ft x 1ft will do a single normal leo... obviously giants and super giants will need bigger.

squeeee i want your leo
where do you buy your heat pads?
what type of lid do you have on it? silly question i know i have a tupper ware tub too them measurements maybe bigger...
just wondering if it can be converted
and how do they get in the humid hide and what temp do you have it on?


and then ill need to find a breeder
the bloke at the pet place wants £94 for a leo
me thinks thats a little too steep!

haha well i finally got the other halfs tarrantula so its my turn hehe

 

[nakomis90]

also does the height matter?

most pet shops that sell reps will sell heat pads
what type of lid do you have on it? silly question i know i have a tupper ware tub too them measurements maybe bigger...

the lid that came with the tub and then i drilled holes all over the top lol... and there's clips holding it down
and how do they get in the humid hide and what temp do you have it on?
there's a hole cut in the side for them temp is set at about 85F but does fluctuate a bit (82F - 88F usually)

depends what morph it is really... if its a normal then VERY steep, you can get them for bout £15!

haha well i finally got the other halfs tarrantula so its my turn hehe

not really... they live on the ground and dont cope with falls very well, so height really isnt needed.

You will also need a thermostat for the heat mat and a calcium dish.

or i just ask dad haha!

Esfa do you know any breeders?

Yeah, mine take the occational lick but it dosn't hurt to leave a calcium dish in there anyway

unless they find it really fun to tip it over everyday.

I just blue tack it to the bottom, sometimes get it over still but better than everyday.
