Hello to all you gorgeous collectors out there! I'm pretty new to the hobby and I've been wondering what kinds of plants work best in either of these tarantulas enclosures. I know they must be different as they are from different climates and are different dwellers, and I also know some dry climate tarantulas are best left without live plants, but I LOVE the look it provides and the extra natural feel it gives, which I hope the T's can also appreciate after living with the fake stuff in a store or something.
To summarize, my biggest questions are:
1. What type of plants would work best given the T's natures?
2. What are the extra concerns to keep in mind with these live plants? (watering, cleaning, accident avoidance, etc.)
3. What mixture soil should be added for these plants? Or is it not a big deal and use what your T regularly uses?
4. (Off topic a bit) Should you always have a false bottom for enclosures with live pants, or high humidity Tarantulas in general?
If you're wondering, I chose these two because I think the Pink Toe is adorable, easy to acquire and manage, and I like the terrestrial nature compared to one of my favorites, the Arizona Blonde. On the flip side I absolutely ADORE the Blonde because I am also an Arizona native and the coloration that this T has never forgets to remind me of the beautiful desert state I live in. Which in turn makes this T even more beautiful to me! I also would love to have an arboreal T along side a terrestrial T.
It might be a lot of explaining, especially if you want to break down my very broad noob questions. If you'd like, reply with the # you are answering and let someone else take care of another # Thanks in advance!
