I would look at a Exo Terra nano tall. These provide the necessary amount of ventilation for arboreal tarantulas. You may have to modify the screen top, as tarantulas usually get their legs stuck in them. I get the replacement top from Tarantula Cribs that is acrylic. If the spider is small sling like you are saying, you may just need a 16oz deli cup with many air holes to provide cross ventilation. Keep substrate dry with a water dish, overflow every so often. You can get these for free at Whole Foods.Get the deli cup, drill 1/16" air holes on top and sides, place substrate, use a bottle cap as a water dish, lay a slanted piece of cork bark and fake plant and you will be golden.</blockquote>
