Hi Guys,
I don't really want to step on any toes, But I've been looking at a lot of the pictures one here, and It seems that many of you have the minimul amount of substrate for terrestrial Tarantulas. This is a Big mistake. I've seen many tarantulas die from a fall of 10" or less. I just want to strongly suggest More substrate. I like to leave the size of my spider in space between the top of the enclosure and the substrate. For example. this is my 5" emilia's tank.
Terrestrial Tarantulas will climb, and they can fall. Substrate height could be the dfference in whether your Spider survives or not.
