Toss in a cork bark log for it to crawl into and some plants and you are golden. Any of the substrate ideas above are good. these containers are cheap like 5-6 dollars. stack well with other of same type and have a easy to grip handle built into it. The sticker on these peal off easily no solvents needed to remove it just peels off. Oh I also add breathing holes to the bottom 4 at very bottom at each corner and 4 just above those this allows me to occasionally drench the substrate and allow the excess to drain out. These spiders in the wild have periods of time where there is heavy rain fall. The flooding and allowing it to dry back out simulates this. Without bottom holes it would mold up quickly. K-Mart carries these still. I am sure your area has something similar.[ATTACH=full]6324[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
