  • Welcome to my comprehensive guide on setting up a bioactive tarantula terrarium! In this detailed tutorial, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a thriving natural habitat for your eight-legged friend! We'll rehouse my beautiful Costa Rican redknee Tarantula (Megaphobema mesomelas) in this tropical home!
    A special thank you to Tarantula Cribs for sponsoring today's video and for providing me with several acrylic replacement lids to begin upgrading all my Tarantula homes! For more information on Tarantula Cribs, visit www.tarantulacribs.com/.

    What did you think of this Tarantula Terrarium Upgrade?! Would you ever keep your tarantula in a naturalistic/bioactive home? Don't forget to answer today's question of the day! Thank you to Tarantula Cribs for making today's video possible! www.tarantulacribs.com/

    Viewers, if you decide to forgo the drainage layer, be sure to allow the soil around your plants to dry before watering again. This is a good rule of thumb for plants in general. This way your plants don't get over watered, the most common way people kill their plants, and neither will your substrate become water logged.

  • @karenlee3198
    @karenlee3198 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tarantula cribs are the best. The replacement lid is a genius move. I don't keep spiders myself beyond the two or three common house/window spiders i removed from the bathroom that are now my bug disposal unit lol. But a naturalistic isopod display terrarium is an idea. They're all in Tarantula cribs at the moment though abd there's tonnes of upgrade options within that system. Amazing bunch.

    The enclosure is going to be beautiful when it grows in and I definitely think she’ll be more comfortable in it.

    They are my favorite genus, I currently have 15 pokies

    I've got 20 terrariums. The only one that got molt was the one without a drainage layer. I personally consider it necessary. However, it was easy to get rid of it with some extra springtails.

    I have 3 exo-terra mini talls, all that I have ripped the screens out of the tops and replaced with acrylic panels that I cut and drilled myself. I would use these new lids for these 3 which are poki enclosures. 1 is empty at the moment awaiting my small female P. smithi to grow into it. The other 2 contain my bigger juvi ladies, P. rufilata and P. regalis.

    It's beautiful. I live in an area with hard water and high ph thanks to the minerals in the soil. I bought a distilled water machine to use with my various orchids, calathea, and other species. The trick has been making sure I add fertilizer to every gallon container as well as some tap water to make sure the distilled/pure water doesn't leach the nutrients from the phalaenopsis and potinara/cattleya roots. I don't own any invertebrates, but I'm looking forward to getting more house spiders. I accidentally killed my residents when I was fighting a white fly infestation on my spiral ginger. It didn't survive either but the rest of my jungle is doing well

    My answer to both is the same. The blue and cream colored one please, Please, PLEASE 🙏🏻 I wonder if you can find a plant or two that would complement her colors?
    I don’t remember how reclusive she is but she’s the most gorgeous arachnid I’ve ever seen and would love to see more of her. (I think you said she’s a female but regardless)
    She’s a majestic queen with nothing to prove. She’s mysterious and captivating and entrances her prey with her beauty. She should have something that says all of this… In my humble opinion… 😂

    Why so much vertical space for a terrestrial tarantula? When it climbs and falls that vertical distance is a hazard.

  • @MrHavadollar
    @MrHavadollar 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Beware that clear acrylic discolors and begins to disintegrate in sunlight if kept that way in direct sunlight over time. It is also a heat barrier and traps in heat. So it's great for desert species, but colder weather animals should be kept in cooler areas away from direct sunlight. Tarantulas aren't going to be out there on the hot desert sand during the day. Not even solifugids (camel spiders) do that. So think about how much light you're using if you're trying to keep things dry for the desert species.
