Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cor" data-source="post: 211094" data-attributes="member: 38203"><p>Hi and welcome!  That's a very nice Avicularia that you have.  They're arboreal tarantulas, so they'll be more tree spiders than ground spiders.  You may wish to get an enclosure that's taller, but not as wide.  Lay some cork bark up the height of the enclosure for the tarantula to climb up, and give it some fake plants (or real if you want to tend to them as well) for it to put some anchor points.  The enclosure you have now looks like it is much more suited for a larger terrestrial (ground) spider.  Save that enclosure for your next spider.</p></blockquote><p></p>
