[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 222756, member: 36911"] A general rule for terrestrial housing is to have the length of the enclosure about 2-3 times the diagonal length of the spider’s legs from front to back. The new one should be fine, maybe a bit big. I just purchased a few enclosures like the new one you show. The plastic is a little thinner than the acrylic enclosures I am used to so I may try one out with substrate to see how it works. I personally am a little concerned about them being too flexible. One arrived broken. I have not seen my T’s try to widen an air hole to try to get out, but they may have when I was not looking. But again this was rigid acrylic. Is the new one is the same thickness as the old one? [/QUOTE]
