Live plants and tarantulas
Hi all...
I'm considering the introduction of living plants into the aquarium I house my togo starburst in. My question is...are there any plants that I should avoid putting in there (aside from the obvious, ie. cactus)? I know that certain plants have natural presticides in them and I'd have for anything to happen to the spider. I looked around on the net but didn't really learn anything groundbreaking. Any advice on this?

Any plants are fine, the natural pestisides are only if the plants are consumed. As you know T's don't eat plants lol so anything that you like should be fine.

Right now I have a Chilean common or Rose or whatever they're being called this week and a Togo Starburst. I also have one of those blue-ringed scolopendra. I haven't really been keeping tarantulas for very long but I'm gradually getting addicted to it. I wish that stores around here had better selection though. Southwestern in London has some cool things sometimes, are there any others up there that stock the more unusual critters?. What do you currently have crawling around your place?

Geezus! What, are you guys in charge of entomology at UWO? Haha that's a crazy amount of animals. Does it stop at spiders or do you keep insects and other things as well?

Just in case you still want to check or have for future reference....here's a site for safe & unsafe plants that was recommended in another forum by our moderator,Linds. It's a great site & I have kept it marked for easy peeking.

Hope it helps,Dar.

Darlene...Thanks alot but that URL just goes to a file not found page. I'd totally be interested in checking that page out though and I appreciate you letting me know it exists. It appears to be just the sort of page I was looking for.
Colonel SB...I have some herps here too. Nothing groundbreaking-just a Savannah Monitor and a Leopard Gecko.

Living plants aren't very nice in inverts' tanks. They need special UV lights, and they can be a house for flies and other bad insects we don't want there..
