[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 165055, member: 4947"] Even if you'd have a terrestrial tarantula, there is several things that would need to be improved with your enclosure. 1) Always have (plenty) substrate - coconut peat/fiber is the most common one. 2) Never use a heat pad under the enclosure - It's very rarely needed with tarantulas and even if used, it should always be attached to the side. Tarantulas burrow when they want to get away from the heat. 3) I see barely any (if none) ventilation holes. Cross ventilation is important with tarantulas (especially Avics). Stuffy air is a tarantula killer. Welcome to the hobby. Here is my Caribena (ex. Avicularia) versicolor enclosure [IMG]https://puu.sh/F9ewn/e907e7675c.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://puu.sh/F9exs/1b5121dcf8.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
