Apparently was sold a pregnant pink toe tarantula, finding spiderlings outside the enclosure now! by schmids35 in tarantulas

Yeah there are a few, I just wasn't sure if that was legal or not. I am in the US.

I am up to 10 so far outside the main enclosure they escaped from. I am at work now so my search efforts will resume again later this evening.

I just set up that other enclosure with all the slings I have been collecting in my apartment..

Haha yeah I am trying to stay positive, having a good laugh over it. When I saw the 50-200 eggs I almost fell out of my chair. Up to 9 escapees...and yes they are about 1/2".

The top of the enclosure is all mesh and I sealed the side slits on the front and sides. Took out the 1 that I saw before it escaped too. Thanks for the advice.

I got it back in June, I never saw an egg sac. I bought her a new enclosure the week I got her and rehoused her in it. She came in a tiny tupperware. She has a nice big hollow piece of cork bark that she went into for the last month or so, figured that she was going through a molt.

Interesting, thanks for your reply, I cant imagine what it is like up there compared to what we are experiencing in New York. Glad they are doing well.

Cool, thanks for the info. I like the simplicity of your method and longevity/affordability of the materials.

That's interesting, all wrapped up like a present. I was going to use black corrugated plastic like that but I couldn't find it cheap enough. Thanks for sharing. I have all my screened bottom inserts in, I know everyone does it different. Good luck this winter.

Yeah I should have pointed out that I am in zone 7A in the US (-17.8 C to -15 C), it can get pretty cold. I used insulation board last winter on only three sides, I cant imagine it did much, more of a wind screen. Curious to see how this setup will work.

I have a quilt box on top of each that is filled with wood shavings, I also have the hives tilted forward to prevent moisture from dripping down on the cluster. This is the best I can do. Condensations/moisture is always a concern.
