Havent you had this spider for a long time now?

Before I had mine kept communally I just made sure there was lots of stuff to walk vertically on. Lots of hieght in the container is a must. Mine wanders lots so I put lots of dried branches into the container as well and this was used for webbing. A water dish is a must and lots of ventilation.

Once mine went communal it was the same except their cage is much larger.

James, I personally do not like to use any twigs, branches from outside, there might be mites, parasites and all kinds of "icky" things hiding in them, and your Ma might not be too happy if she catches you microwaving the twigs to kill any unwanted pests. check out the reptile section of your local petstore for fake resin and plastic branches and also craft stores may have a good selection of silk plants, and possibly fake branches.

I have a branch that is from a plant, but the plant is inside, does that matter?
