Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 61819" data-attributes="member: 4199">I'd go deeper with the substrate if possible.  make it just moist enough to hold form if she burrows.  That enclosure will last her a molt or 2 until you need to upgrade for more space so you've got a few months.  I like to have the enclosure about 2 or 2.5 times the size of the spider to give them a few molts worth of space before upgrading again.  So i'd keep her in that till she's about 3" and then upgrade to a 6" or 7" wide enclosure.For a hide you can use almost anything.  I have a cut up prescription bottle for my boehmei's hide.  The rest i have partial tubes of cork bark they burrow under.Don't worry, you'll do fine with Spot <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
