I would love to add live plants to my tarantulas' enclosures, but in all honesty that's not a viable option. Unless you put grow lights on the enclosure and keep a correct watering regime, the plant will just die after a little while. Depending on the plant, they can hang on outwardly seeming to be doing okay even for a few months, but it's a death sentence for a plant and I don't do it. Additionally, stressed plants will attract pests, parasites and fungus to themselves. Not something I want in my tarantulas' enclosures.</p></blockquote><p></p>
