Some Definitions:

Obligate burrower - A burrower by nature or instinct. The tarantula will dig a hole to live in if provided with substrate deep enough to allow for this behavior. The substrate, or floor material, should be of a consistency which promotes a relatively strong safe burrow. You wouldn't want a cave in! We use 2 parts peat / 1 part vermiculite / 1 part sphagnum moss / 1 part orchid bark and this makes a nice sturdy burrow for our tarantulas. Of course make sure to use organic, pesticide free products for your tarantulas substrate.

Opportunistic Burrower - Basically, the tarantula would like to have a place to hide. If you offer a underground shelter or even a hide spot the tarantula will use it to live in. Most opportunistic species will clear substrate underneath a piece of bark, etc. to provide a retreat. Opportunistic species will most likely make anything you provide as shelter their new home.

Terrestrial - Wanders around without shelter. This term seems to apply more to the tarantulas hunting behavior rather than its shelter preference. Tarantulas will certainly hide in a shelter of some sort if given the opportunity, but terrestrial species wander in search of food rather than rely on an 'ambush from shelter' hunting method.

Arboreal - lives above ground in trees, bushes, houses, etc. Arboreal species will often construct a retreat in a tree hollow, rolled leaves, under eaves on houses or where ever they can meet their needs as a species. Arboreal species should be provided with a vertical hollow of some sort to allow for construction of their retreat.
