Tarantulas and Spiders

Are red-knees terestrial too??
The one at the pet store only has about 1" of dirt in the bottom, and a dried piece of leaf material...

And versicolors are arboreal??

Not all terrestrials burrow tho. Some make their own burrows, some use what's available. It depends on the species but also on the individual T's too sometimes.

Versis are 100% arboreal. I've never seen mine touch the floor of its vial. They're great webbers.

EDIT: there are arboreals, terrestrials, and fossorial. Arboreals don't really touch the ground much, fossorials don't really climb and are obligate burrowers, terrestrials are kinda in between. They burrow/use what's available. If u give a red knee a leaf, it might web it as a hide. It also might decide that it hates that leaf and wants to build itself a burrow into the dirt. You never know lol.

While were on this topic, the Epephobus genus were supposed to be burrowers i thought? My blue fangs and emeralds are terrestrial and just chill on top of the substrate which they webbed up. What's up with that?!
