[QUOTE="sunset, post: 211164, member: 37682"] Yes, switch your arborial (lives in trees) tarantula to an arborial enclosure. An arboreal tarantula is in essence made to climb, they are faster and they jump. If you keep your t this way, it could be come so stressed from it's husbandry that it could become increasingly defensive every time you open the enclosure, because it has no place to climb up high away from things it feels are a threat.it may even try to escape all the time to get to a higher space. It could also stop eating as it uses it's web tunnel to catch food.thry don't burrow and use a web mat. They have better eye sight then terrestrial as well so it's going to be in constant fear and stress from being out in the open. These things could all cause your t to not thrive and possible die. Humidity and ventilation are also super important in arboreal species You wouldn't have a bird live in a fish tank. [/QUOTE]
