I think the above person may be over-reacting and obviously hasn't seen the picture if they are accusing you of not housing your spider properly :/ Loads of people keep other pets in the same house as their spiders (and much more potent spiders), especially free-roaming cats and dogs, so I feel it's unfair for the above person to judge you so harshly. I know this is the same room but even in the same house you can't ever be 100% sure they will never ever get out. I mean I guess an asteroid could come down and smash that glass <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> But I feel you have done everything you can to ensure that doesn't happen. In the same house all the spider needs to do if it gets out is get through a crack around the door so similar risk in my opinion. And seeing as you seem to only have one tarantula, your risk is much lower than most I feel. In my experience the error and my stupidity was accidently leaving one enclosure open when I was really tired while feeding tons of spiders that led to an escaped T. vagans. With only one big enclosure and your obvious worry about your guinea pigs I think you much less likely to make that mistake.</blockquote>
