Something like this[ATTACH=full]58251[/ATTACH][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/made-these.26714/[/URL]Once they pass the 2-3" mark I'd move them to Zilla or similar top opening 8x8x12 with 8" of packed substrate. Always pack the substrate down, it holds shape, tunnels, and moisture better when packed down.If you want to see them, bury an inverted 32oz deli cup, hot-glued to the bottom of the enclosure. This will force the spider to the perimeter of the enclosure, allowing you to see them in the burrow untill they web the tunnels up. This is called a tank within a tank and is explained in the Tarantula Keepers Guide.</blockquote>
