Is this enclosure suitable for a Grammostola pulchra ?

Those are fake little flowers I found at Hobby Lobby. I rinsed all the decor before using it.

It's ok- it's overly cluttered with junk from the hobby lobby.

Yeah they look like those circular loofah sponges haha that’s why I wanted to see it with The lid off . I doubted that’s what they were just looks similar .. you never know I’ve seen strange enclosures mine own included .

I was hoping to put a cork hide where the rose at the top right was but it didn't fit. I'll have to cut one when I have a chance.

Too cluttered but overall ok. Make sure there's a hide in there. G pulchra don't need anything special, just yout avg terrestrial NW T enclosure with a water dish.

As others said, 'too cluttered'. Too many places for crickets to wedge into. A hide is more important than decor. Clear floor space is best.

I’ve already begun removing some of the decor and moss. I plan on removing the bit black rose on the top left soon with a hide

How’s this looking ?

I made some changes

Better now. Crickets could still hide in the purple flower so personally I'd remove it but it's not too bad

Thank you I might. Is there anything else I can do to make it perfect? I’ve thought about buying some moss and desert stone from thebiodude

G pulchra likes it a smidge moist but it's not a moisture dependant species in my experience, so moss might not be needed, unless of course you intend it for aesthetics.

G pulchra is hardy and easy to keep which is part of why it's good for beginners. All you need is a proper size, ventilated enclosure, cocoa fiber substrate (you could also use regular topsoil but mix it with sphagnum peat moss 1:1 to make it more mold resistant), and a water dish. For moisture just make sure you overflow the water dish for like 5 seconds every week or 2 depending on how long it takes for it to dry.. that's it.

I made some changes

dump the flower - waste of space.

Yeah and what the heck is this net thing ? I circled it & the flower.. it may be fine I’m just lost what the heck it is but I’d remove or bury it more so the t has more space to roam.
In an adult tank the flower would fit better if op is dead set on having them . Or maybe get a vase of fake flowers and put it behind the tank. Nice enclosure though not sure we’re people buy them , do they last long ?

It’s some weird flowery thingy decor I found at hobby lobby looking for small decor. I think imma remove the purple one but I wanna keep atleast one piece of decor

I think imma get rid of the purple but keep the black one probably it seems to like it.

Currently I’m using thebiodude substrate with a moist layer on the bottom with a bit of moss and leaf litter and some dry substrate on the top. I’d like to have the moss for the bottom layer because it’s better than the one I have rn and for aesthetics.
