Not much at all. Maybe she needs to settle in a little more(?). I am interested to see how she webs. It would be cool to see some web up at the top of the manzanita branches. I hope that she won't web too much on the glass or the plants.

It looks amazing!

Thanks!

I just reformatted that last picture quick with names for the plants. I have some unusual collector plants in here. You can probably tell that I am more of a plant hobbyist and I put some of my favorites in this enclosure.

Some people said this would be a boring display because tarantulas are still most of the time, but I really like it. Even when the lights are on she is very often right out in front near the top of one of those branches. I am really happy with this display so far. I'll get more pictures pretty soon.

Not a chameleon!

But the Avicularia mettalica looks happy in her planted viv.

Here's another shot a little bit closer.

I have a quick picture from a quick experimental setup in a 30 X High fish tank.

I don't know how long I might have this set up and I don't have any livestock ideas either. I might think about putting some frogs in here. I need to add some leaf litter to get it looking more natural.

Hey I got a really cool new collector aroid, Stenospermation marantifolium.

It might be a good plant to put in this setup. I think it is a terrestrial and it is pretty good sized. The longest of these cut canes in 14" long.

I found this Flickr photo album with wild plants in the Osa Peninsula (I've been there!) Costa Rica.

Here you can see the web hammock that she made up in the rear right-hand corner. She has just been hanging out there in the web for days, but last night she was out for a little while and I got this shot.

Oh wow. I skimmed over this the other day, but didn't see all the detailed pics. I want to set up a dwarf cage in the future, and might have to rip off you idea.
