Hi all after looking out my fishtank to see if it could be used in a comunal paludarium i remembered how nice it is with its hood on sitting on its stand and thus the communal idea has been put on hold. I will attempt this in the future as the space is always there but instead of jumping in at the deep end I want to get some experiance looking after a single T first. The tank is 48"X12"X15"(lxbxh) I have filled it 6" deep with a 50/50mix of soil and perlite(vermiculite substitute). As a hide at one end of the tank i have put in an 11 litre square plantpot 10"x10"x10.5" and half filled it with the substrate and also covering the top with substrate having a ramp to top so T can go above if wanted. This makes a pretty good cave effect 10.5" to back wall and 10" side to side. currently temps have been between 23 degrees and 27 degrees with humidity of around 70 percent. ive put in a small water dish also. Looking for advice on which would be a suitable T for this setup I would rather have burrower than terrestrial i,m also thinking a juvenile would be more appropriate. I was thinking of the whistling spider (selenocosmia crassipes) has anyone any experiance with these? as it can grow to 18cm would my area be to small width wise when adult? Also when you purchase a T what are the chances of getting a male as opposed to a female? Sorry for the long post for just a couple of questions any help advice is appreciated.
cheers Andy.
