Would this be a good enclosure for an approximately 2 y/o, 3.5-4in GBB?

[QUOTE="scrambled-meat, post: 230535, member: 46188"] Hello all, first post here. I have a chromatopelma cyaneopubescens that is almost 2 years old, and I think about 3.5 to 4 inches in size counting legspan. She just molted a couple weeks ago and have been meaning to get her a new enclosure, ESPECIALLY with her current size, but wanted to get some more professional opinions before doing so, because I want to get her something as appropriate for her as possible. From what I know based on research I've done, the enclosure she's currently in is not appropriate. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of the enclosure she's currently in, but it definitely seems too small for her. And it's taller than it is wide, and opens from the front instead of the top. These were the specific instructions I was given by the guy I adopted her from as to what a good enclosure for her would be, but very shortly after I did some more research and have found from more experienced people that have kept / currently keep greenbottle blues that this is actually not an appropriate enclosure for this species, and instead what would be better would be an enclosure with more horizontal space than vertical space, and one that opens from the top instead of the front. I attached images of the enclosure that I'm looking at getting, and was just wondering if you guys think this would be better-suited, especially in terms of dimensions (especially in terms of her size). If not, do yall have any specific recommendations? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
