Message: <blockquote data-quote="nubka" data-source="post: 138259" data-attributes="member: 28298">Thank you for responding.  I'll try to answer as best I can.As far as we can tell (and I did have a ruler out,) she is somewhere between 3 - 3 1/2 inches.The room temp is at 72 degrees.The enclosure is an Exo Terra Nano Terrarium 8" L x 8" W x 12" H.  Seems rather cramped.  I am planning to buy her something new this week as soon as I know what size tank she should be in.  Maybe 5.5 gallons, or would 10 gallons be too big?I'm not sure about the substrate, but it is definitely on the sandy/crushed walnut/dirt side.  It looks to be about 2 - 3 inches deep, very dry, and very packed - is it somewhat normal for this spider to want to burrow?  I have been reading on-line, but am finding varied responses to this.  I don't think she could burrow in what she has now.She has two hides, a plastic plant, and a small water dish.Thank you for your help!</blockquote>
