Is it going to be spiderling(sling), juvenile or (sub) adult? Brachypelma hamorii is a terrestrial tarantula and will need floor space rather than height as far as enclosure is concerned.The rule of thumb is enclosure size should be lenght 3x your spider DLS(Diagonal leg span) width 2x DLS and no more than 1.5DLS as height.So for spider with 3 inch DLS enclosure will be sth like 9 inch in lenght x 6 inch in width and 4-5 inch in height(from substrate to the top of the enclosure) if you get deeper enclosure you will need to put more substrate in to make it safe.Regards Konstantin</blockquote>
