Message: <blockquote data-quote="DustyD" data-source="post: 213832" data-attributes="member: 36911">Both enclosures sound way too large.  I have several G. pulchripes the Chaco Golden Knee, including one about a half inch so I will write about that one.The generally recommended size for most terrestrial tarantulas is about 2-3 times the legspan. So a half inch T really only needs about 1-2 inches by 1-2 inches and a height above the surface about 1.5× legspan. I keep three  half inch-3/4 inch G. pulchras and the previously mentionned baby chaco in  2 oz delicups.  A bit blurry but here are my three Brazilian Black tarantulas. I suppose i could go a bit bigger, but these are fine. The Ts need to find food easily. Also your little one could get lost/hide so very easily in a big enclosure.
