Heating pad is also unnecessary - One important point though: if you'll have terrestrial species and for some weird reason would need to use a heating pad, never put the pad under the tank as ground dwelling tarantulas have an instinct to dig tunnels to get away from the heat.Anyway, all you need for your avic is a tall type enclosure with an efficient cross-ventilation, water dish, anchor points for webbing and a bit of substrate. No humidity gauge etc are necessary because the rule of a thumb is: If you are comfortable in the room where your T lives, it will be comfortable as well <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />My Caribena (ex. Avicularia) versicolor sling lives in a 250 ml (~8,5 oz) plastic jar at the moment. Will probably stay in it for a molt or two.<img src="https://puu.sh/CQzxf/9795b269d3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Columns of holes around the jar for cross ventilation<img src="https://puu.sh/CQzze/a1f654d526.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Ventilation holes on the lid<img src="https://puu.sh/CQzAr/efbaec65c4.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
