[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 200647, member: 33266"] Hi and welcome to the forum/family. A couple of things here as Teresa rightfully pointed out: [LIST=1] [*]Water dish [*]Anchor points. This will help your T developing her web. In the case of a GBB I wouldn't worry too much about falls as all mine have been behaving as arboreal and have been living 99% of the time in their webs at the very top of the enclosure. [*]This brings me to my main concern, your LED light string (I use the same ones for accent lightning in my garage). Although it looks better, I would advise against have them inside the enclosure where your T could have access to them. They do generate heat after some time on and believe it or not, T do chew on things (one of mine opened up a metal mesh lid as if it was a can opener) and having anything electric or wired in the enclosure as always been a no-no for me. [/LIST] Last but not least, you are already showing that you care for your T and would spare no time or expense for them, this is what's most important. The rest will come with time, experience and interactions on this forum (except with [USER=3872]@octanejunkie[/USER] , you should never listen to this one :p ). Tip of my hat to you on an impressive start, cheers.[ATTACH type="full"]59272[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]59273[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
