Play gyms are highly recommended by top jumping spider breeders & help to encourage exercise, good health, enrichment & interacting which helps you bond with your jumping spider. It becomes a familiar safe space like their enclosure they trust & enjoy. Theres never a spot you couldn't find or not see your spood or not be able to simply scooch them with a tiny paintbrush when play time is over. They will always find a favorite little spot on their gym to chill or nap when they want. My spoods will nap & spend hours on their play gym. That being said, all spoods are different & should always be supervised.
Functionality & the safety of spoods are my priority when I create any of my designs. All porous materials such as wood, anything painted or certain surfaces with color, basically any element needed to ensure safety other than genuines gemstones used are sealed & nontoxic to avoid harboring moisture, bacteria,prevent fading or color bleed & for easy cleanup. I ONLY use safe sealers & use either e6000 or Gorilla Glue as adhesives. I often use more than one sealer depending on the texture or type of surface it's being applied to but then lastly coated with 2 coats of DuraClear. I will not & do not use any aerosol sealers. Turn time can vary based on theme, size, special order products, air out & dry times & my workload.
I recommend wiping all surfaces accessible with a damp paper towel or Q-tip with water once received & for normal maintenance or cleaning as needed.
