And it can be rough.Don't worry about it being too big. They won't get stressed out because it's too big, she'll find a spot she likes and make it a home, and likely just won't use most of the space. The only thing the space is going to do is make her take longer to settle in. Falling is a risk, but it is a very small one. If you're really afraid of it happening, raise the substrate level a little.The size of the enclosure may actually help you out. You can keep it bone dry and only heavily water right on the plants. I've seen an M. balfouri communal work this way, and they like it bone dry as well.I'm guessing she's new. Just give her a while to become accustomed to the enclosure.</blockquote>
