    Re: New terrarium for my male ABF, help me guys!

    Well, you don't need any gravel really. Speaking from experience, it will make cleaning up much more difficult, especially since you do not appear to have filtration of any kind.
    What I did was...

    Re: What type of filtration?

    I'm using a Rena/API filstar xp4 with no issues for roughly 7 gallons of water in a 40 gallon.
    my advice would be go as big as you can.

    Re: Filters in half and half pyxie tank.

    If you have a strong enough filter, yes, it can mechanically filter out some of the substrate and poop. You probably won't be needing to do a 100% water change ever (depending on how large a water...

    Re: tarantula/scorpion care question

    Actually, tap water is just fine.
    I'd actually be more worried about what's in prime than tap water. If it worries you, just simply let the water stand overnight before using it.

    I have a little girl myself. I love their attitude. What sub are you using? It looks good.

    My big guy still does this. He has a relatively large and deep water area, and he'll dive down to the bottom and stay that way if you scare him enough. Maybe when he gets as big as me he won't be...

    Don't worry too much about humidity.
    As long as he has a full water dish, the sub can be relatively dry. At around that size they begin to develop the waxy outer layer on their exo that prevents...
