[QUOTE="timc, post: 52096, member: 4054"] Well slings and juveniles. I really try to rehouse as few times as possible, so often I give growing spiders a larger enclosure (not too large) and over the course of a few molts let them grow into it. Ideally a single spider should only need three enclosures in its life with this system. One until it gets about 2 inches, another to about 4 inches and as long as it's not going to grow to monster size (8+ inches) it's final adult enclosure. Now if it is a larger genus another move would have to be done. It's not so much about "in a year" as the size of the spider. I don't want you to think my pets get a new home after every molt, there's usually 3 or 4 in between. Most of the spiders I have I want to play with as little as possible lol [/QUOTE]
