GBB (Luna) Happy as Larry against all the controversy of live plants.. cacti and succulents.
Thanks. Ye it is all home made, just took some time and patience. My GBB loves itAmazing setup. Is that a homemade rock cave? Or just a natural looking store bought one?
...And you have the perfect spider for the set-up: quick growing web builder who is not likely to crawl on the top aluminum mesh.@Will. Cactus potting mix with a little bit of vermiculite and then some sand/rock mix from the pet shop, just to finish the look of the top layer
I think cacti and succulents are an exception to the live plant debate
the bit that i've read - one side says live plants make enclosures to moist for most T's, another is the live plants introduce pests into the enclosure that wouldn't be there otherwise. There's probably more to it but that's the latest discussions i've seen on other forums about it.What is the live plant debate? Do Tarantula keepers recommend against using them? What are the reasons?

Sorry but you'll have to Google it, it is too much to get into and I don't want to start a debate lolWhat is the live plant debate? Do Tarantula keepers recommend against using them? What are the reasons?

From what i've read:Ok. Although, isn't this the point of the forum?
When I Google information, I don't know if the source of the opinion can be trusted.
I asked my question here because I think the veteran members can be trusted to know what they are talking about.
As a T newbie, I had never heard anything about live plants one way or the other until I read the above comment. So, I asked.
I'd still prefer to hear more about it from you guys than from a general google search.
