Enclosure set up for gramostola pulchripes

In this video Xena my gramostola pulchripes gets an upgrade to her enclosure. Also we have a good look at the gorgeous Xena.

Mate, you're an artist. stunning dude

[@nunogomes1834]

As always a very nice enclosure. Xena is looking great!!

Zena is stunning, awesome enclosure!

Great Enclosure setup Mark PLEASE keep us posted!

[@MarksTarantulas]

Will do 👍and thankyou

[@migueltonnies6856]

Beautifully filmed!

[@tarantulaark3182]

She is beautiful! I really like the enclosure you made her. This made me cry, tonight I lost my G. Pulchripes sling Cleo. Great job & I’m sure she loves it.

In my eyes you have a natural gift .. A Great Tarantula Man! The video is breathtakingly beautiful of Xena.. Her new enclosure is fantastic!

🙂 Thankyou 🙂

Man U have such an artistic eye....so jealous. I wish I could make my scorp vivs that look that good!

Wow Mark great looking T and the enclosure is amazing. The clips of Zina before with the music and the way you show the build is out of this world, that’s the type of content you’d see on tv. Great job mate your content just seems to get better and better👍🏻

[@donkellyonie9682]

Stunning... you are taking homes for T's to the next level. Natural and realistic. Well done you massive 👍's up!.

[@nineleafclover1477]

The way you build the enclosure up in so many layers really makes it look great

Looks ace Mark! 😊👍🏻

Beautiful t, beautiful enclosure 👍

Stunning video. Ty.

[@MuffinRecord]

Looks great! Love how much the green of the plants stands out

[@SpiderCouple]

Great video! Loved the music, clips and enclosures. Loved the whole thing. Great job. 👍

[@zallie8]

Thank you for doing this, now I have a perfect example how to do one for mine . You are such a good man for your Ts, clearly show a lot of love towards them.

[@epicbastard1]

These are BBC documentary level shots. I also love how you chose to include dry plants, as well as green ones. It showcases perfectly that it doesn't live in a lush jungle, but in a semiarid grassland. I have to wonder though, is the enclosure reshaped since you made the video. My juvenile G. pulchripes loves to dig and reshapes his enclosure very month or so.

[@CrittersCreations]

Phenomenal work once again! Everything you produce is done so with passion and creativity, I absolutely love it and the spider is incredible too! 👍🏼

[@MarksTarantulas]

Thankyou 🙂🙂

[@ls55]

What a beautiful enclosure you have made for Zena! 😍 And she's so beautiful! Love the music! 😊

Awesome job, you have a very artistic approach to enclosure design, really great work :)

Another awesome enclosure-artwork! Absolutely great! Fantastic job - as always.☺️😎

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Very nice! Hoping I get one female from my two. Not as big as yours but Getting there. Can take ages in PM.

[@JPsPetNation]

Really enjoyed this like always mark

[@Mohammad.khalil2001]

The enclosure looks great but she needs deeper substrate

[@ourspookyzoo13]

Love it x

[@NoahBlades]

Your videos are a work of art. Very cool. How do you keep from bringing pest insects with things from outside?

[@NoahBlades]

@@MarksTarantulas I watch all the t videos and you by far make the best videos. Keep it up brother.

[@MrDrinkblood]

My next T is going to be a gramostola pulchripes. Such a beautiful species! Like always amazing video :) hope to see more soon

[@debbiemcclure2874]

She is so beautiful!!! Tyfs God bless you

[@mynameisnoname8500]

I admire your creativity. I really hope I could find time to spare to give my ts better enclosure. Mine's just in a tank with substrate and hide. No designs or anything. Good job! Keep it up.

[@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055]

Mark she is gorgeous and you have definitely made up my mind as to which will be my first ever T. They are so striking with the colours and laid back attitude. I'm holding back getting mine until the southern invertebrate show in november and I'm going to take some inspiration from your vids for my setup although I already set up a lot of aquariums so am looking forward to doing a dry setup for a G. Pulchripes.

[@lordgrubbin9394]

I can highly encourage you getting that species. It was also my first T and she is doing amazing! I never had any problems so far.

[@christoffermagnusson8444]

Looks amazing👍

[@tink2276]

The enclosure looks amazing. And so does the beautiful Xena in her new clothes. Do stones and twigs and plants or anything else we might pick up from outdoors need any type of treatment before we put them in our T enclosures? I’m worried I’ll pick up stuff covered in pesticides or other things that are possibly harmful to my T’s.

[@MarksTarantulas]

With the rocks I cooked them I the oven with the plants I went to a field and pick the plants that people dont go down and gave them a soak but that's about it and I've never had any problems.

[@tink2276]

Mark's Tarantulas thanks!

[@svenkaan6864]

Ur channel grow fast and u deserve more :) very very facinating content.

[@TarantulaAddict]

Enclosure looks awesome mate! What kind of lighting do you use for the plants?

[@MarksTarantulas]

Thanks mate just my LED strips

[@rogencabual4670]

Nice 👌 next time can u do a how to raise a colony of lateralis? Please I'm from the philippines i always watch your video and i love it😊❤️ it really help me a lot

[@tink2276]

Ogy Cabual i would also like to see a video like that.

[@62millwood]

looks great, but a little more busy then i like. good job.

[@spoodsnstuff]

The enclosure looks cool, really natural. Do you plan to convert all your tanks to more naturalistic setups?

[@MarksTarantulas]

Yes definitely

[@5xldino]

Nice cave you made there! You have to tell us when she starts building spears and hunting mammoths :D

[@ibnsarachnids9175]

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant mate. Although at first the music had me going like it was a video about a loss in your collection. Just about gave me a heart attack lol and you can't do that I'm getting to old for that crap lol just kidding about the old part. Anyway T. Whisperer take care and I'll see you in your next episode. Oh and if you so choose you can contact Psydex today or tomorrow about what we discussed. It will be sent this morning.

[@MarksTarantulas]

Thanks mate and cheers 👍👍

[@jordanbmiddleton8938]

looks good! i did a nice bio active for my assassin bugs recently

[@tobitaktlos3241]

Hey Mark, thats stunning work right there. If you don`t mind me asking. I have a G. pulchripes right now and she makes me worried since shes always on the walls, never on the ground and i wonder how i can make her feel more at home. I keep her in a 40x40 with dry substrate, hide, fake ivy, a cork bark she can climb on and moss that i dampen for the humidity. She never uses her hide, always sits in a corner a bit scrunged up. I read a shit ton of posts to find out what the issue would be. No avail. Is she just doin spider things and shall i leave her or is it some other problem ?

[@MarksTarantulas]

I wouldn't worry mate mine is up on the glass at times too and rarely in the hide hence why they make great display Tarantulas lol I take it she does come down though from time to time how long has she been in the enclosure for ?

[@scottwhitemyer5501]

good job on enclosure!! how do you plan on keeping the rocks from shifting if she digs?

[@MarksTarantulas]

I doubt she will dig as these are opportunistic borrowers and the main rocks are near enough at the bottom so she cant if she was to dig any lower

[@prayhard3185]

parang malaki yung enclosure pero ganda ng design...

[@numajoff]

Hi mark. Can you tell me what substrate you used bud

[@MiniMellyBee]

Xena is absolutely stunning 😍 what dimensions are those glass enclosures you use Mark? My girl is in a large flat faunarium at the minute because the glass enclosure I'd wanted wasn't available so had to buy what was available in my local reptile shop as she was on her way. She utilises all the floor space (L46.5 x D30.5 x W17.5cm) but I'd really love one of these enclosures so that I could do something like this or at least give it a bash 🙈😂

[@MarksTarantulas]

The one shes in is a 30x30x30 she will need a bigger tank eventually as these Ts get quite large 🙂

[@MiniMellyBee]

She's such a beautiful T. The striking yellow on her legs & the iridescent pinky/purple on her carapace. Wow I didn't realise until looking on google these guys got as big (20-22cm). She's going to get a big girl then. I haven't had the chance to properly measure Khaleesi as yet but judging by my hand at the side of the enclosure once I would say she's close to fully grown for a B. Hamorii 😊

[@MarksTarantulas]

@@MiniMellyBee I see a massive one at the bts was tempted but thought xena will be this size and didn't het it but wow it was big lol

[@MiniMellyBee]

Exactly. It's worth sitting tight & watching Xena as she gets to that size 😊

[@ls55]

@@MiniMellyBee Hi Melissa, I'm working on your Khaleesi right now. 😊 I'm changing the abdomen because I think the original became too small compared to the legs. And I have made 6 of the legs now so there's only two more to make. I will have your letter posted tomorrow so it can be picked up from the post shop early Monday morning. It will be on a flight from Denmark Monday evening. Perhaps you can have it before Easter, that depends on how the Easter holidays are celebrated in your country. Here everything are closed from Thursday to Tuesday next week. I'll give you a word when the letter has been put into the international mail bag in the post shop tomorrow. Have a nice day. 😊

[@rossav6158]

She is a cutie..❤

[@michaele.derrickjr.9200]

How big is Xena by the way after her recent molt?

[@MarksTarantulas]

I'll have to see she put on a bit of size not a wow shes grown alot but maybe 5 inch legspan

[@scab3045]

Mark are you taking tarantulas for breeding ??

[@MarksTarantulas]

Certain ones yes

[@Timmy2tone4242]

I thought you weren’t supposed to use stuff from outside your house unless you take necessary steps to remove any possible pesticides or other unwanted stuff from getting in your enclosure?

[@MarksTarantulas]

I treat the rocks by cooking them in the oven as for the plants I go where no people would normally go so they are untouched I've never had a problem and I use alot of wild stuff

[@Timmy2tone4242]

Mark's Tarantulas thats good. I didn’t see any mention of the precautions needed to be taken in the video so worried people might get the wrong idea and just grab whatever rocks and plants from outside

[@MarksTarantulas]

@@Timmy2tone4242 all they gotta do is ask just like yourself

[@Timmy2tone4242]

Mark's Tarantulas Yea but what if someone doesn’t ask and just does it? I don’t think you should have made this video without mentioning how to properly treat the stuff you are using. You could have easily talked about how to do it while you were setting up the enclosure or added a little note to the video. Its pretty irresponsible for someone with a bigger channel who will get lots of views on this video to do.

[@MarksTarantulas]

@@Timmy2tone4242 it's not like you are gonna pick up a parasite with everything you collect in the wild it's very exaggerated like a lot of things in the hobby but I'll be sure to mention it in another video

[@baran2087]

How’s 4:47 short lol

[@Kirbyroth]

Looks great sure Xenia will find a nice spot to make her home in
