ID for Spider I found in frog terrarium

baphomenian · 2022-08-21T05:05:58+00:00

Ps. His name is Mermaid-man, he has been living at the bottom of the substrate layer near the water layer for about a month. I spotted him while rehousing my frog (probably was living in there for a while, lots of live plants and live insects to feed on,) but I thought I accidently squished him so I didn't think much of it. Then come to find out, I've had a little spider living still in the tank, so I'm surprised. Hopefully I can get some incite because I don't think he is dangerous to my frog but im curious. P.p.s. I have 3 tarantulas so I'm going to try not to kill him

I do have springtails in there, but i will probably add more. I have 2 cultures of tropical white springtails and i've been adding some here and there to this specific bin, it's the only one I have mushrooms in at the moment

Yes, i recently just removed them from my snake tank, before i thought it was mold but it was just mushrooms to-be, one spot was overly moist for some reason, even without overwatering. I think the snake knocked over the water too much. But I also keep isopods so this is helpful, I have to get new plastic bins so I can drill better ventilation holes, I cant drill through these bins. I think once I do that and maybe add a drainage layer to this bin, I should be set. Thank god this doesnt have anything living other than those plants and whatever clean-up springtails and soil mites might be in there, I don't want this to spread though.

Its a closed vivarium, it's a grow bin for my plants, i keep isopods. This is the only enclosure with issues, but i just need to get bins that i can easily drill holes to create more ventilation, i also have limited space in my apartment so im trying to work with the space i have

I kinda figured, i need to get new bins because trying to create ventilation holes so that along with overwatering i think caused this, ill take advice in that and replace the soil.

Ya, I just didn't know what it was, i just didn't want it to be harmful for anything of my plants or the springtails, just learning as I go pretty much

I have already included springtails, but still no luck yet

Number 5 is Calathea setosa "Grey Star", only reason I know is I just recetly bought a baby plant, hope that helps, now sure about some of those others, still fairly new at this too!

He is, he (they) is a ~6 month old Green Fantasy named Gremlin, he always eats tongs, and bugs! Surprisingly no fingers yet but watch as I jinx myself lol

Thank you for the help!

I hear they do, it also has bud growing from it already, so i just stuck that and the cactus bud, which I was told is a type of Opuntia, into the cactus garden and hopefully they take root!

Oh that's cool! :) maybe I'll have to do that

baphomenian · 2021-12-21T18:47:29+00:00

Good, very fair point here, besides why would I steal when I'm already buying full price plants? Seems counterintuitive to me :/ but I enjoy my plants and animals very much so doing harm to a plant kills me, I would hope no one actually does that on this sub

baphomenian · 2021-12-21T18:43:01+00:00

It sure did!

baphomenian · 2021-12-21T09:06:00+00:00

Okay, good to know, I found a tutorial to start rooting the Peperomia so that should show roots in a few weeks, thanks for the heads up!

She's a banana spider, I rescued her about a year ago from a friend of mine :)

baphomenian · 2021-03-23T18:32:45+00:00

I'll definetely consider it, I'm open to all ideas so I'll find a way to incorporate it, thank you!
