    Many of the European countries aren't allowing international shipping. Sucks because that kicked it literally days before my spiders probably would have shipped.

    @Kwikvette Here's the Goliath enclosure update with 2 pieces of clear acrylic/plexiglass. I got the 12" square piece on Amazon linked below and it arrived in 2 days! :D Cut 2 pieces to cover the large side areas on the lid. I was considering hot-gluing them to the lid but since I can access the enclosure through the central hinged part I don't need to really remove the lid so I'll probably just let the pieces rest where they are without actually attaching them. Those areas are slightly sunken anyway so the acrylic pieces won't move around.

    Nice!

    That enclosure looks like those critter keepers on Pet Mountain

    Since I'm back at work I may bite the bullet and wait in line at HD. Still have to order that sealant to make sure I'm using something that isn't toxic.

    I can see how moist that substrate is!

    Yeah it's one of the wider critter keepers. This is the medium size and they make a larger version that a few inches wider and longer ... but I really need to figure out what I want to rehouse this T in for the next enclosure which I want to be big enough to be her last enclosure. I originally wanted to do a 10gallon tank, but I've only seen them in glass which won't have cross-ventilation. The exo terra ones are nice and have cross ventilation but are pretty expensive.

    Lol the Goliaths put on more size between molts than any other species ... so good to be prepared.

    Like I said, I'll find out next year if I decide one I should get one.

    Should I give my OBT another day before feeding? It's always hiding so I can't see if its fangs darkened and hardened up yet or not.

    Usually 3 days to a week after molting is a good waiting period.
