[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 175350, member: 3872"] A tarantula should be kept in something approximately 4x it's DLS (diagonal leg span) with no more than 1.5-2x free climbing height to prevent high falls that can injure or kill a tarantula. Look for something 6-8cm square and fill with packed substrate to reach the 1.5-2x climbing height. Add a hide, starter burrow and water dish/damp moss and you should be good [/QUOTE]
