Some fossorials I will start in a 4"*4" T Cribs cube and my old world spiders are good to go for a few good moults! Arboreals can be different depending on species. Some burrow as slings, some not so much!  In a bigger enclosure an arboreal would be hard to track especially in a thickly decorated enclosure! I have a P. Tigrinaweselli in a 3*3*6 that was listed at 1 to 1.5 DLS and it's usually not bad finding them. So I think arboreal a little bigger enclosure is not that bad. The other end of the spectrum was my Heterapoda sp David Bowie was microscopic and even in a T crib sling enclosure would disappear and they are arboreal. Stressful sometimes when there tiny and can't find them. Ohhh well! This got long again . Lol. Happy Spoodering!</p></blockquote><p></p>
