The size of the enclosure depends on the size of the tarantula. Floor space is more important than height since they are terrestrial. If you can provide 4"-5" of substrate it my do a little burrowing. You can also provide a hide, which can be a flower pot turned on its side half berried, or cork bark. Enjoy your T.PS - I personally do not handle my T's too often . The g. rosea is know for its docile personality but they are all different I had one with a bad attitude. In any event let her settle in to her new home for a week or two before you consider whether or not you want to handle her. A small fall can be deadly for a T.</blockquote>
