First Enclosure!

Very first T enclosure! I am expecting a Green Bottle Blue in the mail on March 1st, so I figured I would get this put together now!

I am expecting the spider to be 2 inches. This is a small Kritter Keeper (a little over 9" x 6" x 7"), with Josh's Frogs ABG mix in the bottom, some cork bark, and some pillow moss. I found these adorable tiny water dishes, so I tossed one of those in there. The skull is a 3d printed hide that I was going to use for my mantis, but it was just a bit too large for his enclosure.

What do you guys think? I know I'm going to need to upgrade when my T gets bigger, but I think this is a nice first enclosure.

That looks fine. Something to give some height for webbing would be a good addition.

Wanted to make an update- I am now expecting TWO tarantulas, so of course I had to make another enclosure! This is for my incoming A. avicularia "Metallic".

And I made some changes to the GBB enclosure- another piece of cork for some height, a more suitable piece for the hide, some moss to anchor on.

I plan on eventually upgrading both of these Ts to Tarantula cribs enclosures when they get bigger. The A. avic is going to be at least an inch, but that's still pretty teeny! Honestly really looking forward to getting to design and put together even more enclosures... Maybe I should get another T :3
