construction of our P. cambridgeii's new enclosure

[AudreyElizabeth]

Beautiful. I've been thinking of revamping all of my tarantula enclosures. I especially want to add some plants to the Acanthoscurria geniculata tank.

The only potential headache I can see looking at your tank is when the plants require repotting.

Planted tanks are awesome. We have some plants growing directly in water in an Amazon Tree Boa display tank. Pothos and that lucky bamboo stuff. We added a fish air pump to oxygenate the water and they are thriving in there.
That Psalmopoeus cambridgei is gorgeous. I am madly in love with the whole genus.

Repotting could definitely be a headache for the one in the back corner, but those plants propagate by cuttings which makes things easier. We can just cut it off and then plant it directly in the substrate if need be, but since the pots have a good plant mix(no fertilizers) of soil they should be good for quite awhile.

This tank has been changing bit by bit, because he has been taking cuttings and planting them to try and fill in the more sparse spots. Plus, we are considering taking the wandering jew out and replacing it with a different plant, just to have some diversity in our planted enclosures.(we have a whole tank FULL of it in the basement if we change our mind!) I think I am ready to take the plunge so we will see! I need to take current pictures of it and update, so hopefully I can get that done soon.

Beautiful set up! I think I am going to try some live plants soon.
