My New Setup

[davidlottr]

Hi I just finnished my setup i have been working on it was going to be for my chili but i changed my mined and now its for my pinktoe i make the backing myself just wanted to see what people think and if you got any tips for me to make it look better, i know its not the best pic,

Thats a cracking setup for a terrestrial spider but Avics (pinktoes) prefer to be higher off the ground, as in living in tree's, hence being arboreal species.

A tall piece of corkbark, upright, leaning against the back corner or a corkbark tube would be better suited for an Avic, plants for it to web in also.

I do like the look of the backing, nice job.

thanks i dont a step by step in my profile. so i gotta change it then?

The backing looks ace but as Elaine said the Pink toe would prefer something upright to web behind and plants to anchor the web to.

Even though it looks fab for a terrestrial, its unsuitably decorated for an arboreal spider. A couple of inches of substrate (you can leave some of that nice moss in there along with the twigs etc) but tall, upright corkbark for it to climb on. You will need good ventilation for an Avic too.

i will have to buy some more bark as i got a massive bit but i broke it up to do the 3 tanks lol. i only got it today so im new to these ones,

also i have netting on top for a lid i was thinking that would be good for ventilation as it would keep most of the humidity in (i think lol)

A mesh lid would probably be a bad idea however...

depends how strong the mesh is

but a piece of glass cut to size might be better.
