@Hophopspinnekop & angel: Your cages are very nice, but what I realy need to know is what do Yal house them sling arboreals ( like example a 1cm avic or a 2/3cm pokie)

@ Reynolds I got a suntiger and the damn thing doesnt teleport it goes WARP speed.

i can tell you how i get my pinheads\small crickets in their containers! I use the top half of a 2L Coke bottle, point it in the container, and chase a cricket to fall into the bottle half. No loosing pinheads, and they go right in.

Ripper here is a pic of the arboreal stups I use for the climbing species
hope it helps!

The tanks in the pictures are 300H X 220W X 220B
the other one is 300H X 250W X 220B

As your tarantulas grow you can just increase the hieght
So at the most you can make the Hieght 500mm for an adult arboreal .

.

You can use any container that is higher than wider and as long as the tarantulas has got enough space to web and move they fine to stay in the container.
here is two more containers I use.

1st is the container you get your tennis balls in.

2nd and then your large or small coffee container (Rick coffee). :laugh:

I have kept the following arboreal / semi arboreal Ts:
2 x P cambridgei
2 x P irminia
2 x Avicularia species
1 x P ornata
1 x P fasciata
2 x H maculata

Some of them I had in glass coffee bottles (Nescafe gold largest bottles) P ornata, P cambridgei.
I recently bought smallish arboreal enclosures. 10 x 10 x 18cm. I am keeping the following in them: P fasciata (from 3cm), A versicolour (form 5cm), H maculata (~1cm) and P irminia.
Important to keep an eye on moisture requirements as well as making sure they catch their prey.

The biggest problem with large enclosures is the ability of the sling to catch it's prey (if it can't find it, it can't eat it) and possibly falling to death (only real problem with none arboreals in too high enclosures). the irmina and fasciata (semi-arboreal) has almost completely webbed the bottom 2/3 of the enclosure. The A versi has covered the top of the enclosure (true arboreal style) with webbing.

When it comes to feeding, almost always, the T will retreat to its hiding spot when disturbed. So it shouldn't escape after settling in unless you prod it form its home.

So, on that note, one thing to add. After rehousing, leave the T for a day or two so that it can build a retreat. I had my A seemanni escape because soon after rehousing I was trying to force it into its pre-created hiding place. It decided to bolt out the enclosure all together. 2 days later, after creating a huge burrow, it just runs and hides when I open the lid.

Sweet thanx ppl this realy helped in big way
