Ill go back soon and check. If I can get the red runners I will try those first. I was referring more to sourcing terrarium plants and leaf litter naturally. Kinda want to make the enclosure as natural as possible. But just not sure about gathering leaves and sticks from my yard incase they have some kind of pesticide contamination or parasite? Is this not recommended?Also any recommendations as to what type of pot to use or how to cut it in half?I ordered a 3" terracota pot. Just not sure how i would go about cutting it in half. Im not much of a handy man but ive got plenty of tools. Yea I was a liitle nervous getting a Tarantula. For such a small pet its still a fairly large commitment. I started researching tarantulas long before I even considered keeping a tarantula so I was pretty well prepared. Then again many sources of information can be deceiving and its hard to know where to start. Thats why forums are great. It is very tempting seeing all these beautiful spiders though, it makes me want to get more. I know im not ready and I lack the time and space but hey doesnt hurt to dream a little right haha</blockquote>
