[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 233166, member: 29323"] First welcome to the forum. That looks to be a nice enclosure. The only potential issue I can see is if your T is a climber & my guesswork is wrong. None of my Lasiocyano sazimai are climbers. But even reasonably low fall can cause a T serious harm. Think of a tarantula, as a water filled balloon, any fall, even a reasonably low fall, can cause them to split open. Normally, for terrestrial & fossorial tarantulas, we try to keep the gap between substrate & enclosure top to no more than leg span plus 50%. And yours does not look much more than that. If the enclosure is 6 inches tall & your T is 1.5 inches DLS. ( Diagonal Leg Span.) Then my guess is, there is only around a 3 inch fall, around part of the enclosure. [/QUOTE]
