[QUOTE="loganloves, post: 144978, member: 28817"] I'm wondering if anyone knows which live plants would be best for a tarantula enclosure (if any). I've seen some people on YouTube making these awesome enclosures with living plants and they put in a drainage layer and so on. Being EXTREMELY new to the hobby though, I don't want to just see something cool on YouTube and run with it thinking [I]"well this guy did it, so it must be okay"[/I]. With all of that said, I have a Rose Hair that I've had for about 8 years now and she's in need of a rehousing. If I'm taking the time to move her and get a new set up going I was really wanting to look into a live plant for her tank... IF it is not going to be bothersome, harmful, or stressful in anyway to my T. I know a rehousing can be stressful enough as it is. My T has a rock hide and cork bark that they love to climb on and hide in/behind so those will be traveling along to the new tank. Does putting a plant in the tank [B][I]benefit[/I][/B] the T in any way or is it more for the owners aesthetic? [B]TLDR;[/B] Can I put a live plant in a tank with my Rose Hair and not have it be detrimental to their all around happiness? Also thank you so much to everyone who has been SO beyond helpful to me already and thank you to those that I'm sure will soon be arriving with more help! [/QUOTE]
