That way you don't have to rehouse it again, unless you want to, of course.   They are really good eaters, and if their hungry and u drop a cricket near their web, they'll get it, so housing them bigger isn't an issue in that aspect.  They have a(I believe its) 6 quart sterilite container at walmart for like a 2 bucks here, its perfect for obts, unless your worried about it running on you, then u might be comfortable with something a little taller.  Another moult or 2 and my little obt will be housed in one of these(she's about maybe.. 1.75inches, lol).</blockquote>
