i`m using plastic pot halfs as hides for all tarantulas. For non burrowers it if fine, but for burrowers looks bad .
Ts are digging out from sides and hide sometimes almost fall inside burrows . That looks really bad .

First half of the pictures are actually results from Arachnoboards. From real keepers with real tarantula.

i take log/plastic pots and i use a glue gun to glue in the hides to the sides of the bottom of enclosures and use the soil to burry it in. that ushually gives them a great start! and up high of course for arboreals

Bury it at an angle with a starter burrow at the entrance.

Try coconut shells as hides with the doorway cut in. You can get them at Amazon. My scorp loves her's.

It "looks bad". I just don't know how to break it to this poor soul that tarantulas don't give a hoot about their keeper's aesthetic preferences.

The perfect hide, totally unoriginal but tarantulas don't care about that either.



For a borrowing species, put it over the starter burrow. This happens to be an old picture of my scorpion and surprise scorplings but it'll work for almost any invert.

It's very hard to go wrong with that.
