Message: <blockquote data-quote="ExMember" data-source="post: 166572">Depends on the breeder I guess. The place I go to is great. They go all over the world and catch their breeding stock. Been in business for 20+ years and are the largest breeders in my country. And they have direct lines to the mexican breeding facility. I could call them right now with any questions.About enclosure size... being in an enclosure that is too large has a few drawbacks. The main one being it is harder to find food. I just put it by the water dish usually. I am using prekilled prey most of the time. Or I drop the prey on the spider to get a feeding response.The other drawback is that the sling may not feel safe and start burrowing. One of my albopilosum for example has built burrows and flees into the tunnels when disturbed. It isn't too much of an issue. But my little geniculata loves it's over sized enclosure and has never even dug a burrow or used the starter burrow/hide I gave it. In effect the whole enclosure is it's burrow.</blockquote>
