Shelob's new lair -- picture heavy

A friend on a plant forum I frequent is responsible for the name in this case. (Could turn out thta "Shelob"is a "Helob" for all I know at this point.) About a month ago little bugger molted and was large enough to justify a larger enclosure. Bit overboard on the pics -- sorry about that -- but some angles just seemed to have certain items in better focus. Apologies in advance to Lord of the Rings fans .. I made no attempt to duplicate the movie set.

Shelob exploring its new demense



Shelob dancing the Tarantella after having caught her/his "dance partner"

That's an awesome set up! I can imagine it would've been hard to arrange all those little pieces in there. How'd you do it? With chopsticks? Or is the entrance large enough to fit your hand in there?

Re: Shelob's new lair -- picture heavy

I like the setup it's really neat. But tbh if it's got more than 4 legs, it's not for me lol
just out of interest, what kind of spider is it ?

It did take some wrangling. My hand did fit through the jar mouth, but that was only good for the first several 'trees'. After that, it varied mainly between the use of chopsticks and the 18" curved surgical clamps I use as feeding tongs.
