Hi Sherwin,
First of all welcome to the forum.

The enclosure looks very nice and well laid out allowing for plant growth etc..however a couple of things spring to mind initially from early attempts by myself at natural cage design.....

the enclosure will probably have to kept damp to support the live plants, this won't suit a lot of tarantulas.
If the spider that ends up living in there is anything like a lot of mine the cage will be rearranged overnight ruining all your hard work

Regards

Colin

hi colin, thanks for the warm welcome.

what in mind as local would be the N.chromatus. as strategy, i would just mist the plants for humidity and the rest would be dry. the cage size is 6"Wx8"Hx12"L so there's enough room for dry area. i hope.

Hi Sherwin
Welcome to the forum, I like the set up very nice, as Colin says its often difficult to maintain a set-up with plants and a tarantula as the plants require watering etc.

One way is to make sure the plans have there own pot to sit in and when this buried within the substrate its out of sight and you can water the plant without making the rest of the floor space over saturated.

Anyway best of luck and looks really nice so far.

Regards
Mark

hi mark, thanks for the warm welcome.

well, i'm hoping this would be a success. as i have seen some manage to do it right.

any suggestion what Ts can be placed there?

Pretty much anything fossorial and Asian will make good use of those dead leaves.
And would not mind the humidity either.
