  • A vid showing you how I would set up a tank for a Burgundy Goliath Birdeater - Theraphosa stirmi.
    Misting is also a big factor in helping keep that humidity high.

    Hey,
    Yeah I will. I think the goliath will be able to stand up and touch the mesh if he wanted, so shouldn't be much danger of a big fall. That's the benifit of these new Exo Terra Lows. :)

    I'm getting a Goliath bird eater this week and I've had many invertebrates before but nothing that requires this much attention! If you could please tell me how I can keep the humid up and what kind of soil and moss I should use thanks!

      Hsbdhdhhxh zhzbbxbxbxhx use Eco earth and a lot of moss. I used cypress mulch and a bit of coco fiber and mine became dehydrated. It's a common problem with Goliath's. The right substrate and like 5 squirts of mist a day should keep her hydrated. Also use a water dish big enough for her. But don't make it deeperthan an inch if she is an adult. Hope this helped

    Thanks for sharing this video...I found it very helpful as I'm a beginner.
    How did you fix the background to the glass ?
    What is the name of those little creatures who clean up mould etc ?

    • @SuiSock
      @SuiSock  8 років тому

      UKPurplePanther the background just slots in place. and they are tropical woodlice. or you can have springtails aswell

  • @SuiSock

    they like it warm :)

    Maybe this is a stupid question. Could you put some cockroaches in there so they start nesting and then you would have a sought of natural feeding system (I am not trying to be lazy I just think it would be cool if you had a large vivarium)

    Is this okay for tarantula? They say steel mesh screen can be broken by tarantula's fangs so your tarantula can escape or injured their self.

    • @allan640
      @allan640 6 років тому +2

      No way a tarantula could bite through steel screen, nor would they try

    • @goldpieceleo
      @goldpieceleo 6 років тому

      Hunter Burchett newbie. I have tarantulas. Tarantulas can cut through steel screen using their fangs, I'd seen in videos and friends.

    • @allan640
      @allan640 6 років тому +1

      Give me the search words, prove it A human could not bite through steel screen and a human on average is 150 pounds per square inch of pressure, I'm more than positive a T could not exceed 5lbs of pressure of that I understand they have sharp fangs but I've also seen T's break fangs on leather gloves so I think " newbie " might be a bit harsh, but in any event the strongest material I can find these things biting through is a human toe nail, on the hardness scale that's about a 2, steel is about a 7 stop calling me a newbie and please be respectful

  • @mJay19891031
    @mJay19891031 10 років тому

    like'd the video. but u didn't say anything about the temperature. what do u use? probably a heat mat, and place it on the side of the tank? cuz i heard that it's not very good to place it underneath the tank. if it gets too warm for the tarantula, they like to burrow. and if i'd buy a juvenile blondi/stirmi, is it ok to house him in this kind of big tank? so i wouldn't have to get another once it gets too big for the small tank?

    • @SuiSock
      @SuiSock  10 років тому +1

      I use a heater that heats the room, as I have 30 tarantulas. Heat mats are not practical.
      The reason small slings are kept in smaller enclosures is so that you can find them! In a sense, yes, you could put a tiny spider in this enclosure, but you will have a hard time finding it!

    • @Jay-jb2vr
      @Jay-jb2vr 10 років тому +1

      For a setup like this, heat mats arent practical. But they are recommended for smaller enclosures.

      not really. the exo terras are known for superb air flow.

  • @alyannar.2296
    @alyannar.2296 8 років тому

    I'm having trouble keeping the humidity in my enclosure. I'm using the same substrate just not in the brick form. How damp/moist should the dirt be and should it be really packed together like it is in the video? I'm kind of new to owning a tropical species.

    • @SuiSock
      @SuiSock  8 років тому +1

      if you struggle with humidity then try cover some vents. not all of them tho. you still need air ventilation...
      and regular misting is needed to keep humidity up

  • @oliviereilering

    don't like the setup not looking like the real habitat at all

    • @paleoprover8690

    what do you use as a heat source?

    • @SuiSock
      @SuiSock  9 років тому

      A fan heater which heats the whole room. Set around 20 degrees Celsius

    • @fretboarder4752
      @fretboarder4752 9 років тому

      Cool so you keep them at constant 20c

    • @SuiSock
      @SuiSock  9 років тому

      Yeah. Seems to work fine. Most Ts are happy at room temperature. The heater is really a safe guard should the temperature fall low.
