ok so could i do a tarantula tank with live plants or would the webing kill the plant by strangling it? i have had wolf spiders for years and kept them in tanks with live moss and grass along with various small plants but they dont web like a T does. i am mainly wondering if a pinktoe or similar spider would completely kill a plant like a live bromeliad or orchid? i have plant lights and wanted to know if i could use them to grow live plants in a vivarium with a T. thnx;)
 
You'll need a plant that can tolerate low light levels, because too much light stresses tarantulas. I have seen enclosures use pothos.
