I believe one of the Avicularia are called a goliath, but the Theraphosa apophysis is a true goliath, with a leg measurement of close to 12 inches, but it's a  terrestrial.I keep   Avicularia slightly drier than Theraphosa & I make sure all of my arboreal enclosures have side & top ventilation, even if I need to add it. A lot of the top opening arboreal enclosures lack side ventilation, so I avoid glass enclosures & go for enclosures I can melt a few side ventilation holes into. Ventilation is important, especially with higher humidity T's.</blockquote>
