Message: <blockquote data-quote="LauraMI" data-source="post: 30810" data-attributes="member: 3071">Did it die? That enclosure is TEENY for that T; barely room for it to turn around. Are you sure that wasn't just the take-home container or did the seller say it was fine in that?  Not saying size had anything to do w/ a death if a death actually occurred.... But that's really small.I'm getting a 2 1/2 gallon for a 2" sling in a few weeks & am moving a similarly sized T in a 12" cube...neither of which will be permanent homes.  They'll have Appropriate substrate & depth, appropriate hides...  I'd give a full grown Rosie a ten gallon aquarium myself. EcoEarth about 5" deep (maybe deeper to decrease dangerous heights), faux plants for aesthetics, shallow water dish, driftwood &/or cork, a starter burrow...I love doing vivaria!  My tarantulas are display pets, like fish, only so much less upkeep.</blockquote>
