Are there any types of surface materials that a tarantula spidering or adult can't climb, maybe like non stick pots or pans or stainless steel, aluminum foil etc?

Are they different for terrestrials versus arboreals?

most have a hard time with slick surfaces, it's why a lot recommend rehousing them in your bathtub. My son's GBB doesn't have a problem running up the side of the tub, but the A. genic and B. sabulosum look like they're running in place. We get to test this with the P. vittata soon.
