Okay, I have seen several posts over the last little while mentioning that alot of us are probably not housing our spiders correctly. I'm starting this post in the hopes that the experts out there will come and give some advice and opinions to us newer hobbyists.
One post attributed sudden tarantula deaths with possible poor housing, yet most of us house the way we have learned off of most web sites. Tank/jar/kritter keeper, peat moss or some other like substrate, hide, water dish, climbing branches/cork bark/bamboo for arboreals, deep substrate for burrowers. I know that is very general but probably the way most of us do it.
These posts I have seen did not elaborate in any way on the correct or different way that they house their own tarantulas. So I am hoping that this thread could start a discussion on alternate ways of housing.
Ray (Angelarachnid), I know that some of the posts I read were written by you, so I would love to hear some input here. Pictures would be most welcome!
