[QUOTE="Rosey_Slingster, post: 189066, member: 33424"] [USER=27444]@Arachnoclown[/USER] Thank you for the advice. It's given me a different perspective. Yes, sorry I forgot to mention, I had over watered due too the plant just being freshly planted (and looks more dried out now), as the substrate needed misting (it was fairly dry). As the plant pot was bone dry (only baught the plant today), the plant is somewhat ridged, the spikes are not sharp to the touch, they also do not seem to be overly bendy (thought the spider won't crush the plant and would be sturdy enough for the plant to hold the spider's weight) could the plant spikes hurt my sling? Don't want a plant to cause harm. It just seemed the perfect size. It was one of the smallest plants available. Are their specific plants more suitable for them, if so, can you educate me please an I will change the plant. Was going to get the disc plant, but was worried that would get crushed, but it was a softer plant. This was taken as soon as I had misted. Its dried out a fair bit now, plant has soaked up a fair bit, they are not this wet usually. Also did wonder if I had over done it with the water. That's an idea, thanks. I wonder if I am sensitive to the hairs, as my lips & eyes have been feeling really ittitated and stingy/tingly? Maybe I should use a face mask/shield for rehouse purposes. I see now why people go for old worlds. As after washing ect, it seemed to not help at all, an got worse. Probably just made it worse by smearing the hairs everywhere. Maybe I should just get larger cages, and keep rehousing to a minimum, as I didn't seem this bad last time. Feel like a wussy. [/QUOTE]
