I only use proper enclosures for adults, slings and juveniles can be housed in a multitude of things. Tupperware is best it's easy to drill or melt holes into for ventilation. Obviously I'm in the UK but I keep most of my Ts in containers like this usually you can get similar, they come in a multitude of sizes I think they are originally so store pasta or something.[ATTACH=full]74931[/ATTACH]
This one is 4x4x6 inches and I think was £2.50 so you don't have to spend a fortune, for the substrate too just get a bag of plain top soil (non-orgainic the organic stuff usually has stuff like manure added) you don't have to spend a fortune getting pre mixed bag of stuff. You can make this hobby as expensive or as cheap as you like. You can keep it in that tank it's in, but as a new keeper you will be making you're own life easier and less stressful moving it to a smaller enclosure. Here is a G Pulchripes in one of the ones I have just to show you size reference. The T is about 1.5 inches and was just housed in here she has a cork bark hide now but that's it.[ATTACH=full]74932[/ATTACH]
