[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 217849, member: 27444"] There's not good ventilation in a 10 or 20 gallon glass tank at the soil level. The soil becomes stagnant and will stink out your room after a while. Ive experimented since the 80s for the perfect enclosure for Theraphosa and it a plastic tote with lots of cross ventilation at the soil level. If you can get a low profile Exo terra enclosure with door ventilation it will work pretty well. Also mesh/screen tops won't keep a Theraphosa in its enclosure...you need to switch it to acrylic.
