I assume people are under the impression food just appears at the "den"site and the tarantula does not scout for its food. All arboreal s need hight more than ground space due to humidity reasons and they are by nature arboreal and prefer height and restricting its instinctive behavior to climb and limiting it will increase stress and then you will have other issues to deal with. day /night cycles are a must irrespective the fact that arachnids are nocturnal  they still need the cycle od day and night so be warned not too keep your enclosure covered with a towel all the time and the towel will change you vivarium temperature as well so gauge it and monitor it continuously.</p></blockquote><p></p>
