Exo terra also have a reputation for causing injury when the claws get caught in the mesh so  a lot.of us who have exos., replace the.mesh with acrylic.The best thing for the spider is also a lot more substrate to narrow the gap between the top of the enclosure and the substrate. The larger the gap, the more chance that if your spider falls, she could get hurt. The floor space could be restricted by adding more plants (not hard caves or objects for the same "fall" risk already mentioned).A 10 to 14litre plastic storage box with a shallow depth are ideal for this species. You can also easily drill holes for cross ventilation.This is the set up I have for my AF smithi the substrate is also banked so there is the opportunity to climb and also burrow deeper into the offset substrate.[ATTACH=full]53793[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
