Pretty nice thread!

My only comments are personal ones - I choose not to use live plants, preferring fakes for a number of reasons.

Firstly, plants require light, something very few tarantulas enjoy. This can either cause them to live in their burrows or to bake, unless well controlled.
Secondly, the moisture used to feed the plants, unless kept in very careful check, can be a cause of mold etc.
Thirdly, the few spiders I could happily use plants in their enclosures... they're heavy webbers and the webbing is remarkably good at killing off plants. In the wild, this is no issue as a decaying plant is natural. In captivity... well, it causes a lot of issues.

If you can find a way to do a potted enclosure without causing these issues, fantastic and I applaud you for it! It'd be my preference if I could!

How odd, it appears my thread has been deleted... or is my browser just playing up?
