Fake plants

Just added some plastic plants to some of the enclosures, during bi weekly feeding and husbandry.
I think they look ok. Not sure about using live plants.

Fake is the way to go, if you look at craft shops they have some super realistic ones. Looks good !

I have used fake leaf plants from florists for a couple of my larger tanks. They look good. I also brought several plants from The Range a few weeks ago. They are much cheaper than on ebay who add postage to the cost, or from the likes of Pets at Home.

I got 10 plants for ten quid, free next day delivery with amazon prime.
I have seen them for 2-4 quid each in pet shops.
Brightens the enclosure a bit, even though the spiders don't care!

Last month I posted the following about some plants I had brought from the range.

Among other bits that we brought, was a pack of 6 10cm (4 inch) plants for £2.99.

Thanks for this, will check out the-range!

I got some from the pound shop, gave them rinse and dry before putting them in. They only had a few remains of white fake flowers from the summer season, so I also got some red flowers from the Christmas section >

That is a great price for the plants. Maybe some of the non-webber terrestrials don't care, but I personally feel those who do lots of webbing and could do with anchor points do care! They can also make good hiding places.

I think real plants look good too!
