When it gets a bit larger it will go months being buried away not eating in premoult. You could always get another Tarantula. One for that enclosure that is going to be empty. You could put another terrestrial in it and bank the substrate right up at the back, I'd get an arboreal though some sort of Avicularia, Caribena or Ybyrapora are good begginer arboreal (as long as the setup is correct) or the more advanced Psalmopoeus or Tapinauchenius these new worlds lack urticating hairs so they are that bit more flighty than the usual and advised as a great starter for getting into old world Tarantulas because of Thier speed. My favourite from the Avics and such is the Avicularia Braunshauseni there pretty rare though, I only have the Avicularia Juruensis M2 the best looking are by far the Caribena Versicolour and the Ybyrapora Diversipes though. And for the faster new world arboreal my Favourite it the Psalmopoeus Cambridgei, though the Psalmopoeus Irminia looks amazing. If you do decide to fill it with something we will help you out as much as possible on setup and that, do that before buying the spider, also to usilise the enclosure you already have you're going to want to buy a large juvenile or Sub adult for the size.</blockquote>
