Hey there! I am just starting out my journey into tarantula keeping and I'm not sure what size of a tank to get. The spider I'm getting is an Avicularia Purpurea, hopefully female, so the leg span will be around 5". I have seen a lot of enclosures that are 8"W 8"L 12"H and i was wondering if that would be big enough for a tarantula that size? If you know or have a Avicularia yourself I would love to hear your experience and discoveries. Thank you so much!
