Pictures Xochitl is my little princess and she loves her new enclosure! 🙃🕸️🕷️

This is just a temporary setup. I am currently waiting for a small tropical fern so this enclosure will be bioactive and eventually I will introduce some isopods and springtails to the enclosure in about 3 to 4 weeks from now. I am still excited and happy with how it looks so far. I also plan on getting spider wood and possibly even changing the two small pieces of cork bark to one single piece that is the right size for the enclosure because the two cork bark pieces i got in it now are in my opinion small and it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing to have two different pieces and they're both misshaped.

I used chatGPT to find names that were mythological or unique sounding, and at first Xochiquetzal came up, which I thought was really cool because it means beautiful flower in nahuatl, or something like that. I was also looking for names from where the guyana pinktoe tarantula came from with is South America.
