Message: <blockquote data-quote="ABYZL" data-source="post: 184683" data-attributes="member: 34529">Thank you very much, I have plenty of leaf litter as I keep other inverts and my more mature T's have bioactive enclosures. We've ordered some suitable sling enclosures for when they grow out of the dram pots. I've seen that they are semi arboreal so thinking maybe a terrestrial set up with a little extra height for when they are closer to adult. My other dwarf T is purely terrestrial and happy in a 25 cm/10" wide by 20 cm/8" high enclosure as an adult so I'm thinking same width and maybe 30 cm/12" to 40 cm/16" high. Does that sound about right for a generously size adult home? The information here in the UK tends to be they are at the lower end of venom for baboons, if that's not the case I need to risk assess as I make a point of not keeping highly venomous species to avoid potential danger to my other pets and my spouse of course in the unlikely event of an escapee. The spiciest ones I currently have are a c. darlingi and an orphaneous sp blue quezon. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
