Got my tarantulas in!

[Brendan88]

I just got my new slings in and I am super excited. My B. Smithi is starting out where I can see it my T.vagans is hiding but she came flying out of the tube when I opened it into it's new home.

Are succulents okay to but in my tarantulas enclosures?

I'm going to second that, plastic plants are best. Live are just a huge hassle

I don’t use succulents, but life plants are always ok and look great.

What type of plants are you using?

You can use small ferns and many other plants. All need to be cut back if they are getting to big for your taste. Golden photos is good, as well as Nephrolepis exaltata.
Ficus pumila and F. primula grow well. I also use Peperomia caperata and all kinds of Tradescantias.

Pothos, philodendron, live moss, sansevieria, tradescantia, and ferns are great. I recommend pairing low light tolerant plants as well as making sure their water needs works well with the preferred humidity levels of your T. Like pothos and sanseveria with drier climates, and moss and ferns with more humid guys. (Pothos can really swing either way though)
