New tarantula owner

[Pops Tarantula]

I recently purchased a new GBB sling, and I'm just curious what's the ideal permanent enclosure for him or her? I'm new to this crazy hobby.

All depends on the size of the spider. Keep dry with a water dish and provide plenty of anchor points for webbing.

Ok thanks he's coming with the enclosure for the first 8 weeks. I'll post pictures when he or she arrives this week.

You know how big it is?

It's a sling 3/4 or 1inch 9n arrival

Okay so a pretty small sling. Tarantula Cribs has some sling enclosures that would work. If you wanted to go the more affordable route, a small deli cup would work as well.

I'll take a look at those cribs. Maybe not the Dixie cups looka little tight. Thanks fir the advice

You don't want them to have too much space, especially if you are a new keeper, it helps with feeding and maintenance to keep it on the smaller side. I don't use deli cups, but, use containers like these, they are ideal for slings around the size of yours.

These are actually the ones I was looking at. They look solid and easy to maintain.
