Pictures Cage Design

[MandaExotics]

Well, upon wondering what to do on a Saturday before I have to go to work, I decided to take the random 5.5 gallon tank I had lying around and make it an arboreal tarantula cage. I've got a pink toe tarantula sitting around that might enjoy the extra room.

Got the acrylic cut. Waiting for the silicone to dry now



Pink toes are great

They're what started my love for tarantulas. I was buying meal worms for my bearded dragon at my mom and pop pet store when they had one on display. Some months later, I bought my first pink toe tarantula. Been in love with the species ever since. When the cage is finished I'll post pics but it's likely going to be a few days from now.

Well, even with needing a new car battery, I was still able to come up with something simple and efficient in a decent amount of time. I just used what I had...

New cage (without it's new host):

"Fluffy" not wanting to leave home:

"Fluffy" fangs! and pink toes !


Old/New cage:

And yes, I'm in a bath tub, just in case he slipped past me They're easier to catch that way!

I used to use clasps and hooks instead of velcro on the front for similar previous cages, but I've learned to really like the velcro I use.
