Curly hair enclosure

[YoshiGecko]

Hi guys I just rehoused my curly hair into a zoo med creatures low 6gallon tank. I used eco earth and the creature soil it came with, moss and a half log. Do i need to change anything?

Pretty sure those tanks come with a mesh lid, if so I would maybe change it to drilled acrylic, but otherwise looks good. (A bit on the big side though, but that's just me being picky)

Looks really cool. I like it.
Can't tell the height, so possible concerns are making sure the tarantula doesn't have too far to fall if it gets up on the top. And, as Tarantulafeets stated, making sure the tarantula doesn't get caught in mesh wire.

I agree with everyone on this post, I would also be inclined to say maybe add more substrate. Leaving max 5-6 inches of empty space from the top on the lid. This prevents injuries from a fall that can very much be fatal.
To add to what Tarantulafeets said, mesh lids cause some issues. Feet can be stuck in the lid which can lead to the T hanging for hours and possibly loosing a leg. In additon, they can also chew through the fine metal. My aphonopelma did this and the hole was very big, luckily I caught it before he got out and tried to squeeze through the stabby metal.

Ok thank you all so much! She has about 3.5-4inches from the top of the tank to the substrate. Ill get some acrylic to cover the lid just incase!
