C. versicolor enclosure size

[Cold-Blood]

Hi there! I currently have a female juvenile Caribena versicolor at approximately 3-3.25 inches DLS. What would be an appropriately sized enclosure? The one I was planning on putting her in looks much too large, so for now she is in a 4x4x7.25 inch altered amac box with cross ventilation, a piece of cork hot glued to the top, a fake vine with leaves, peat sub, and a large water dish. I am assuming this is much too small. She already started webbing and ate her first meal here.

It's probably fine in that enclosure for at least another moult.

I have heard that in the wild they don't live in plastic or glass enclosures and seem to do just fine

Good to know.

The large enclosure is 8x10x15. Sufficient for adult size? Or should opt for larger?

I was thinking it being too large as the prey items being unable to reach her web. Should I just pre kill?

Yep, big enough.

I just throw the live crickets into the web hide.
