  • In this video we build a dream home for our Tarantula, the Acanthoscurria geniculata or commonly known as the Brazilian Whiteknee. This tarantula is perfect for bioactive setups as their native origin is in the forests in Brazil where frequent rainfall occurs. #ecosystem #terrarium #tarantula #bioactive

    I really like your narration which is very entertaining and calm, then there is a little Minecraft sound. Make it interesting and cute, then your enclosure design for her which is also very interesting and pretty, I love it!

    I have a white knee called shelob. She's 7.5 inches and her size is just... indescribable.. she's absolutely enormous, written measurements do no justice

      Oh man I can't imagine the sheer size of that! She's very responsive already, I don't know how much more crazy they would get at that size!!

      @lostInExotics it doesn't slow down haha, the response is just always there, but she's never shown any aggression. I've had her since 3cm and she kicked hairs at me once. Would I hold her..absolutely not, serious big fangs, your talking almost theraphosa size fangs. Best display spider I've ever had, by a million miles. Enjoy her/him bro

      @lostInExotics they usually grow around 4-4.5 inches a year. I got shelob at 3cm and she hit 7.5 inches in around 16 months. She's now in a permanent 24x24 bio active. Loves her food. 3 extra large locusts every 10 days

    I want to build my own enclosure too at some point. How do you keep the parts together? I would assume glue but wanted to ask anyways.

    • @lostInExotics
      @lostInExotics  3 місяці тому +1

      I use an acrylic cement that melts the acrylic and welds together to form a solid joint. It’s called “Weld-on #4”

    you really made a beautiful enclosure but, don't forget that this species is terrestrial and not arboreal, so why did you make it vertical instead of horizontal... and although they like humidity, they are more mixed. they like both climates. I think this enclosure is more of a versicolor .. anyway, it's my opinion

    • @lostInExotics
      @lostInExotics  3 місяці тому +3

      Thank you! And those are fair points. While normally I would keep them in conventional setups, I wanted to create a snippet of a rainforest floor where the tree trunk meets the ground and the surrounding foliage. Also if you follow the enclosure guidelines of 1.5-2x DLS in height then I’m still within it. If you look at other setups like exotics lair and dark den they also have a bit of height in their terrestrial setups.

      Yes, I completely understand the idea of course.. but congratulations on the enclosure.. I should make a video on how you made the enclosure.. what glue you used, and especially how you made the locks. It would be interesting. Congratulations on the work..
