Maybe I should make her a teeny teddy bear and find out if she would love it as much as she does that silly bottle cap lol

You're ok mate, any advice is cool ta. They're not stones, it's vermiculite mixed in with peat. I use more peat in the mix for more humidity, (E. Murinus especially). The Rosies mix is very dry, but if you still say getting rid of them would be better for the spider then I'll do it. Cheers.
there is peat in there ?...i would go with straight peat just overfill her waterdish a little once in a while and she will just fine...that's just my 2 cents :)

We need to start a campaign to cure arachnophobia. It's a shame so many people don't like them. We won't use atx's rose in the campaign tho incase she goes nutbar lol.
You can use Mr. Pink, he is calm, cool, and has a way with the ladies ;).. I'll keep Rooney in a straight jack for the event... but she might chew thru it.... better yet, ill throw her a fistful of crickets before hand.

I really hope Mr pink gets a wife soon, he would be ideal for the arachnophobia campaign. Sounds like he could charm the birds off the trees. I reckon Rooney would demolish the straight jacket , I laughed when you said she leers at you, she sounds totally demented.

Ok, ta. She's usually ok with being moved or her tank being changed around, (unlike some who immediately trash whatever you do, Seemanni and Smithi in particular - fussy little gits ;) ).
