assuming non are prolific borrowers, at a MINIMUM 30cm (h) x 30 cm (d) x 30 cm (w) for 5 to 6 inches 30x45x45 up to 9 inches and if you can go a bit larger for 9+inches, it's not going to do any harm. Need space for a hide, water dish and some plants at least don't forget as well as crawling space :)

It’s all about the keepers preference. These are all adult size spiders you mentioned. There’s no limit in the wild. A 7” Brachypelma smithi lives it’s entire life of 25-30years in the same tiny burrow. It’s all up to you.
