I Rehoused My Tarantula, Then This Happened..

Today I’m rehousing my juvenile Greenbottle Blue Tarantula/GBB (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) and showing you how I setup the enclosure! I’m using the Zilla Small Terrestrial Micro Habitat (this video is NOT sponsored).

[@mikebloom6279]

The boys from DDE mentioned Canadian Tire in a video lol, anyway going back and binge watching select channels. I had a couple spiders back in the day and remembering my trap door spider was my favorite other than my death stalkers. You were right about being a heavy Webber, so how long before your new set up looks like the old one? If you put it in a bigger tank would it do the same or just take up a corner? Later 🤘😆🤘

This looks so small a house for such a big spider! 😮

[@arupian666]

Nice job, Kayla. I have the aboreal version of this enclosure, my A. purpurea "Penelope" currently calls it home. Nice enclosures for the money. That location you have your enclosure at, it's very close to a window, it doesn't get direct sunlight coming in and onto the enclosure does it ?

[@kaylaroach]

Thank you so much! I totally agree! I have the arboreal version as well, for my Phidipus audax. Great observation.. I actually moved the enclosure for that exact reason! It’s now on my shelving system along with my other invertebrates and reptiles! 😁 Thank you for being so caring! 🙏🏼

[@JusticeMonikeRainyKatherineDil]

What brand is the top soil and the play sand. I have a Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens and would love to try out this substrate mix. Please and thank you.

[@kelvinengland3991]

I'm assuming you had to remove the succulents? GBBs detest humidity and even succulents need watering. So they would have either died due to lack of water or light having been webbed up. Or you have watered them and you will have a T who is not best pleased and in an environment that is not meeting its needs. I certainly wouldn't advise live plants in a GBB enclosure.

[@kaylaroach]

I removed the succulents a few months ago, thanks for your concern!

Can you update how the spider is doing? Would love to see the webbing :) This is one of my next spiders!

any update on the gbb?

[@t.sky42]

How long will it take for it to outgrow that new enclosure?

[@kaylaroach]

Tarantula growth rate varies depending on sex, feeding schedule, temperatures, etc. I suspect I’ll have to rehouse this sling in about a year (give or take)! 😊🕷

[@kelvinengland3991]

The tarantula wouldn't drown in a deep or shallow water dish.

[@kaylaroach]

Regardless, it’s not a risk I’m willing to take. I always use shallow water dishes for my T’s to ensure that they can safely enter and exit when they go for a drink. You can never be too careful!

[@kelvinengland3991]

@@kaylaroach its not a risk. There has never been any incidence of a Tarantula drowning in a water dish. I've seen a spiderling dunked into a bucket of water and pop right up to the surface. It's impossible due to their physiology. The tarantulas book lungs are on the underside of their abdomen which is what sits on the water in any case, shallow or otherwise so if they had any chance of drowning in a water dish the depth of it would have no bearing on whether or not they could drown in it. I'm just trying to help you grow your channel as I know there are certain things that turn keepers off and talking about Tarantulas drowning in water dishes is one of them. I stopped watching your video instantly as soon as I heard that as I assumed if you thought that was possible that you would have nothing to tell me I didn't already know and that you may have other husbandry ideas that were unfounded. I wish you luck with your channel but we can all learn, I certainly don't know everything but we should all be open to learning and changing in the hobby. That's why I felt the need to make you and others aware that tarantulas 100 percent cannot drown in a water dish and infact having a shallow water dish can be a detriment to some species who require higher humidity, for example a Stirmi or Blondi, who benefit from a deep water dish to keep humidity up and therefore ensure a happy healthy T who will not struggle with molts etc...
