[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 190800, member: 29323"] As a former Social Worker, I would throw in the psychology term, "Situationism." In people, it is a superstition that situation, rather than personal trait, dictates a behaviour. For example look at sexuality within a prison. Same sex encounters are not just more common, they are vastly more common, than in the wider community. That is called Situational sexuality. Or look at the way language usage can change in many people, depending upon who they are talking too. Do we understand Tarantulas sufficiently to know if they change or evolve behaviour depending upon situation? So even if we do try to make their enclosures as natural as possible, will their behaviour & experience within that environment be a natural one? [/QUOTE]
