[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 163367, member: 4548"] Since it is a G. pulchripes, I wouldn't put them in a bioactive setup, simply because they like dry conditions and a lot of plants you see in bioactive enclosures require a lot of moisture. The sticks could present a falling hazard. The rocks could be a potential hazard if the G. pulchripes were to fall as well, more substrate wouldn't hurt either, I'd also be worried about the rocks caving in on the tarantula if it burrowed under. Most cases I would say the enclosure size is too large (I would only put a tarantula over 8" DLS. Now if you don't have much experience with tarantulas, I would NOT recommend getting one of these, but a Hysterocrates gigas would look amazing in that enclosure if it had a few more inches of substrate. But that is just my opinion as I am a minimalist and only use the bare necessities in my enclosures, others may defer. [/QUOTE]
