Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arachnoclown" data-source="post: 183652" data-attributes="member: 27444">Lots of substrate = a spider you will never see.  A moderate amount of substrate...4" with a hide is plenty. With 4" of substrate we are only talking a  8" fall. Tarantulas don't die from falls less then 12"...thats silly talk there. Tarantulas fall all the time in the wild, spiders climb. However falling on to hard sharp objects or a couple feet onto the floor would be a hazard. The exo terra 12x12 is fine for terrestrial spiders however many say they get stuck in the screen top. I have never seen one stuck in 38 years but it happens I guess. Just swap out the screen for plexiglass. Its pretty simple.[MEDIA=youtube]3pTF6iKi5yA[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
