That looks absolute stunning... What kind of paint do you use?

Just be careful with the spike idea, tarantulas tend to climb on the glass and fall..

The greatest treasures are not gold, nor jewels, nor works of art. They can't be held in your hands, they are held within your heart. For worldly things will fade away as seasons come and go. But the treasure of true friendship will never lose it's glo..

Thanks Angel, point(s) taken(pun intended) :P
I use Dala Metal Craft Paint for the metallics and for the normal colours I have been using Heritage Acrylic (water based) paint for use on most surfaces. Bought it from DIY and PNA. Cant remember the name of the clay, but I get that from PNA too. It's very easy to model and use.

I'm sure there will be someone in your local area that gives pottery classes that will be able to help you in getting these very nice hides safe to put inside a T's cage.


Garfield, pottery or earthen clay would be the bullet-proof way to go, but I would need a Kiln for that, I guess. I have done some pottery and other art classes before with my sister when I was in school. She got an oven and a turntable for her birthday that she never used - I wish my dad kept it :S The PratliGlo im using lets nothing in and nothing out, it's odourless and is free of acetone, lead, methanol and pentachlorophenol and any other toxic shit - it allows no off-gassing and I'm sure it is safe to use. I put on about 3 layers.
