Terra blue professional enclosures with the reptilock is as close to perfect of a cage you can find in my opinion. Lasiodora species generally do not exceed 9 or 10 inches. They are NOT as big as T stirmi or similar ones like that.They are still plenty large enough however!! The whole 1 foot 14 inches stuff is pure nonsense. Having said that, 8" is an enormous spider and will command plenty of attention when they hang out in plain sight, which is what sub adults and adults mostly do.</blockquote>
