Nice enclosures, the only thing that you have to be careful of is that the cage on terrestrial species should only be the 1 1/12 the height of the spider's leg span. The reason being that if the spider crawls on the glass up to the top of a 10 gallon tank a fall could rupture it's abdomen. What I suggest to people if they are using a taller tank, is to fill the tank up with substrate to make it safer for the spider. Sometimes they will burrow down, but my two G. rosea don't.

We have an OBT as well and hubby is joking that he got a defective one because he sees his "pet holes" more often then his OBT. It never comes out and it waits for it's food to come to her. If I shine a light in it I might be able to see legs.

We were thinking about getting another OBT, but we picked up a Haplopelma minax and a 4.5" Female Brachypelma scheroderi-(Mexican Black Velvet). The last one set us back a bit. It was $200. But it's not one you find too often.

Thanks, Yeah the G rosea was my first T so thats how I set it up. I have only seen her on the walls twice. I fed her and she stopped crawling the walls lol. I am in the process of making custom enclosures for the Ts to suit there needs & sizes (I need to find more glass sheets). The OBT tank is a 2.5 gallon tank so its not a big as it may look in the pic.

Our G.Rosea wont burrow either.

Your hubby should just get more OBTs, then he will more than likely see one out. lol Our smallest one has been out and about a lot lately, but before that it was a pet hole.
