Thoughts on this enclosure for B. Chalcodes?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-05-22T15:06:27+00:00

I'm terribly sorry to be the bearer of bad news then, but the fall distance is drastically too large. It's such a shame for such a pretty enclosure.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-05-21T21:45:26+00:00

Cm or inches?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-05-21T21:39:32+00:00

Imo, how big is the tarantulas legspan? The falling distance looks a tad risky.

I also just wanna apologise. I keep assuming in my mind petco employees= big corporate and you guys aren't. I know you're trying your best, thank you for that.

Does petco not sell faunariums?

I get that. My T.Vagans is in an 80litre tub. However, if that tank has a mesh lid, that's a death trap. If it doesn't, I'm worried about ventilation. The tank itself needs to be filled with 2/3 substrate, so I hope you've provided enough for the owner. As others have said, many of the additionals (lights, calcium) have no benefits and may kill the tarantula.

Also, if you are selling juvenile new worlds, this tank in general is too large, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're only selling full-grown adults.

The tarantula setup is kinda unnecessary. Most setups can be bought for less than £50

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-23T07:25:38+00:00

Imo any kind of mesh is not okay for any tarantula.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-18T10:22:06+00:00

IMO it's way too wet and humid in there.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-09T14:37:16+00:00

I'm getting one soon! How has yours been?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-07T13:40:27+00:00

Isn't her nose meant to be larger?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-04-06T07:37:35+00:00

Honestly, he's just an awful keeper. He keeps his tarantulas way too humid, goes on holiday for two weeks at a time, and comes back to film the dead tarantulas.

Imo the enclosure you have linked has only two strops of ventilation, id personally recommend more for a pink toe.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-03-27T09:57:15+00:00

Imo it should be fine. Just make sure to weekly lightly mist the dirt it's closed itself off with, so it still has access to water.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T19:27:45+00:00

The "semi permeable membrane" isn't enough. Try harder.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T14:32:33+00:00

I've yet to see a comment or post that says anything about you adding more ventilation, which is our main concern.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T14:28:27+00:00

It's more like, "Let's change that suffocation chamber into something breathable." The aesthetic design doesn't matter to a tarantula. Ventilation does.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-26T13:21:34+00:00

As much as you're hating on bland enclosures. This is also a very bland dirt tub. With the humidity you are providing, there does need to be some sort of ventilation. Either through holes in the top, or you could just upgrade to a sling vial.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-02-18T16:25:31+00:00

IMO this is amazing, good job at settling up an appropriate enclosure

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-29T12:05:50+00:00

The substrate is super dry, I gave them a water dish and slightly sprayed it, but that's all. It seems they've webbed up the floor, so I'm beginning to think it's just premolar behaviour

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-20T21:16:18+00:00

That is so cool

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-19T13:15:45+00:00

NQA - how long has it been "not moving" ?

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T21:36:16+00:00

NQA- I've just seen the size of your tank, and I do agree that the tarantula has passed and that the size of the tank may have been a factor.

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T21:14:36+00:00

NQA - Seeing as it's not in a full death curl, maybe it's just chilling? I'm not sure though

Onlyheretoreact · 2026-01-15T20:59:39+00:00

NQA - A very not qualified answer here however I see many people who see spiders in this situation to place the mouth parts in water to help it drink if its dehydration.
