New house for my T.Stirmi

water bowl and moisture yet to be added :)
Now i just have to get her out of her old one o.O
Looks a little tall. Also I've always hated huge plants that sprawl across the enclosure since it's just clutter and it hides the view.
 
The ferns i've got are canopy types (according to the granny at the garden centre)
Im hoping they will create a jungle type effect :p
 
The ferns may work but the hide will not. That wood will rot and grow mold faster than you can look in moist conditions. Get a very large clean up crew or use cork bark.
 
I have an identical wood in her current hide, it's never rotted and it's kept moist.
I do have springtails and tropical woodlice in both.
 
Looks good.......Yes it is a bit tall/high but in my opinion and from the experience I have had with tarantulas.......a tarantula will climb the walls of it's enclosure when it doesn't like the feel of the substrate it is walking on. Yes it can fall and hurt itself but again this is just my opinion. My G.Rosea has tried to escape it's enclosure a few times.....once I left the lid open to get rid of too much humidity and within five minutes it was climbing down the side of the cabinet it's enclosure sits on........So here was my T two feet up in the air on the side. When I went to put her back in her enclosure she just turned around and climbed right back up like a pro. This showed me that tarantulas can grip and hold on to the side of things without falling. Again this is just my opinion and experience I have had with my tarantulas.
 
@BCspiderman7 Yes they can grip sides but Terrestrials are not as adept at it as Arboreals are. Terrestrials are also much heavier usually. Both of these factors equate to a higher risk of injury from a climbing related fall.
 
@darkness975 I agree 100% with what you are saying........there is always a risk when a terrestrial T climbs. I just think a terrestrial is only more likely to climb because it doesn't like the feel of the substrate. Again I can only give my opinion based on my experience with my tarantulas.
 
@BCspiderman7
That is sometimes the case, as in when the Substrate is wet and should be dry etc. Some of mine climb fairly regularly even though the Substrate is fine. Better to prevent an issue from the start is all I'm saying.
