[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 205615, member: 29323"] Welcome to the forum. It is not how much of the container has substrate in it, but how much does not. Your Tarantula is a terrestrial, but it can still climb & possibly will. However, it is not a great climber, so will possibly fall. Think of a T as a balloon full of water. If your precious little balloon falls much more than it's own leg span it could rupture it's self. At the very most you want no more than twice it's legs span between the substrate & the top of the enclosure & preferably slightly less than that, with one to one & a half times it's leg span being the most desirable.
