sorry to burst your bubble, all plants carry parasites and will at the right temp + humidity + light intensity infest your tanks. :dry:

Seems like the guru Rob.C never had a problem with these plants or parasites affecting his Tarantulas. Will PM him through Youtube and ask if it had any effect on any of his T's.

We will have an answer very soon from tarantulaguy1976 on if he ever had troubles with parasites or tarantula deaths because of the Golden Pothos

For that matter, all organic material will - palmpeat, bark, crickets, roaches, tarantulas.

I have used plants in my enclosures now for 3 years and never had any problems. In fact, I never had trouble with
any of my Avicularia, they flourished.

Hi Frootbat. Which flourished more, the plants or the Avicularia ;).
PS: Avicularia got my attention more "bit of topic" but what species of Avicularia do you have :p.
Now back on topic :) What types of plants do you have in your enclosures as I would love to make all my vivariums pretty "without flowers".

PSS: I think the more we all share the more knowledge is to be gained by other keepers or breeders who run trail and errors on their T's.

PSSS: Would love one of these Avicularia Amazonica thought I might as well share the photo, as I keep on staring at my laptop's background.

:lol: I'd go with the Avics seeing that they are the one species that die on you just for the fun of dying. Never lost one!

I sold my Avics a while ago, now focusing more on Psalmopoeus and Thrixopelma.

I had:
  • A versicolor
    A avicularia
    A pupurea
    A braunshauseni
    A azuraklaasi
    A bicegoi
    A geroldi
    A huriana
    A minatrix
    A metallica
    A urticans
    A velutina

  • Now back to the topic, my favourite plant for arboreals is the love palm. I'll post a pic, just have to go through the archives again ;)
