So I've just been looking on the fly trap care forums and I came up wit an idea. For you guys over there in the U.S you can get Venus flytraps in cubes from Lowes. You get a carnivorous plant and an arboreal enclosure.

Ok nice idea, but I wouldn't put a venus fly trap in any Ts enclosures especily arborial Avics of mine, mainly because they tend to fall sometimes, you know wake up in the morning and a plant digesting a T lol.

Kl I'll edit my post, The encolosures are quite smart how much are thay?

They meant take the VT out of the container. Drill holes in the container. And use the container for the T. The plant would be in a different pot so it would not be near the T.

I buy those containers at hobby lobby for a couple bucks for my slings (no plants in them).

Why spend $7-20 bucks on a venus flytrap enclosure, when you can by one for 1.99 at Hobby Lobby??

Because if your interested in Venus flytraps (like I am) then it would be a great 2 for one if you could just move the plant to something else. It would be for the plant and container not just the container and throw away the flytrap. :)

They are good prices, your idea 2 for the price of 1 is good. I'll have a look in hobby lobby.

I actually wouldn't be too worried about your T dying in there as much as the VFT. They need to be outside in direct sunlight all day to grow properly :).

the op clearly states the 2 for 1 deal in his opening post, never intending to put a tarantula in the same enclosure as a VFT.
A couple of other people have re-posted this fact.
People need to read- and understand- before responding.
