[QUOTE="meridannight, post: 224963, member: 39025"] As far as plants go, I wouldn't recommend them really. I know some guys claim to successfully keep some plants in their tarantulas' enclosures, but i believe those are some rare cases where conditions are way above average and plants extremely low light tolerant. Plants need light, and nutrients of their own. There usually isn't enough light or nutrients for plants in the environment we keep tarantulas in. Plants will just become stressed and die. It won't happen immediately and will take months, but you'll end up with a dead plant like that. And I know some plants are cheap, but they're still living things, and I don't recommend stressing any living thing if it can be avoided. Tarantulas don't really need them, they would only be there the aesthetically please the human beings, and that's just not good enough of a reason, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
