Time to get myself some negative reactions.
The mesh isn't woven wire, it's expanded metal so it's fine because there are no overlapping wires for the tarantula to get its tarsal claws stuck in. Not sure why people on this site throw a fit about every single type of mesh ventilation when only one specific type of mesh (woven wire) is unsafe and you can usually see which type it is by zooming in on the photo. It's the same bloody thing with heat mats, people (mostly Americans) parrot the same "hurr durr, heat mats are satanic technology that will melt your spiders if you even think about using them" nonsense and then those of us who actually know how to use them properly have to explain that they're actually very safe if used correctly and that they've been used in the UK/Europe successfully for decades.

Tom Moran is basically the only tarantula channel outside of the documentary or in-situ footage channels worth watching.I have followed a youtuber by the name of trantula collective
