Is mosquito net safe for T's

[bbolivier1234]

So i use an aquarium to house my a.seemanni, however recently she startes climbing alot. There is a hole thats covered with mosquito net, the one you use in patio doors, is this safe?

I'd say definitely not, your T could catch a claw in it and be unable to remove itself, can you post a picture please ?.

Here i use it on the back side to cover the holes

you need to replace the lid with acrylic sheet and drill or melt ventilation holes in it but not too close to the edge, for now I suggest you either remove the mesh and cover it with brown packing tape or just tape over the mesh, the last thing you want is your T getting stuck in that.

I was thinking of maybe hot glueing some popsicle sticks horizontally kind of lole prison bars

Tarantulas can tear through netting, even thin metal, like windowscreen.

Wooden popsicle sticks with gaps between them will be easy pickings if an adult T gets it's fangs in between. I would use solid plexiglass or metal wire cloth if ventilation is needed and mount it securely, avoiding sharp edges

Fit plexiglass and you wont have to worry about it catching claws or escaping.
