So my little B. smithi sling has grown significantly larger since her shed, and I want to give her a little more room since her pill bottle is no longer suitable. I have a 10cm x 8.5 cm x 6 cm acrylic enclosure for her, but I also know baby tarantulas are much like snakes in that they're not huge fans of open spaces.
What objects are safe for arachnids? Do they hold to the same phenol rules as snakes (no phenolic woods like pine, cedar, etc)? Do I have to be concerned about the weight of an object, are there certain things to avoid, etc? Is 'prettiness' or display enclosures completely off the table? What can I do to make her feel safe and secure?
This is also a wonderful time to show me some of your sling enclosures!
