[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 39330, member: 1152"] B. smithis like it dry, and tarantulas do not like bright light. In my opinion, this is not a species that would be appropriate to set up a living terrarium with, as the plants' needs (sunlight and water) do NOT work with the Ts needs. She needs dry substrate. The next time you re-hydrate a brick of ecoearth, bake it in a foil turkey pan in an oven on low heat until it is dry. Don't put it in with an animal that doesn't like web substrate to sit on until it finally dries out. How large is the tank? The pictures makes it look quite high, which means when the T climbs to try to escape the moist sub, it could fall and injure itself. Also, terrestrials can get their feet caught in the screens, leaving them dangling precariously and leading to possibly injury from fall or loss of limb. And the light should definitely go. You have several folks on here telling you that, although your new setup looks very nice, it is NOT appropriate for your animal. Although I think that we can all appreciate the creativity that went into the design and layout, it is just not at all right for the species you are trying to keep. [/QUOTE]
