So I might be getting a new T soon, a 3" M. balfouri female. I know people usually put them in KK's because of the depth, but are there any nicer looking tanks (glass if possible) that aren't too huge for it that would be a good home for this T?

Terrablue professional series tanks with a reptilock are a decent high quality choice that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The screen is fully bonded and rated safe for even the most venomous reptiles. It won't snag feet or claws.

Either the 3 gallon or the 5 gallon might work. If she gets to under 5.5 to maybe 6 inches and stops, the 3 gallon will probably work. Of course, you can add deeper substrate in the 5 gallon.

The best way to feed these is to drop food directly into the web near the burrow sorta like feeding a baby bird.

That means cage size is less important.
