[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 57159, member: 1084"] Yes absolutely, I don't see why not.I actually keep all of my arboreals in these when they're juveniles, I just mentioned Avics since that's the genus that this thread applies to. I'm not saying keep them in tiny containers either, I just don't see the point in using over sized enclosures. Most of the spiderlings in the wild will get picked off by predators before they can even make it to a safe spot in which to create a hide. Hence why there are so many young to begin with. Wild tarantulas live in a very stressful environment believe it or not, so in my opinion, it's probably not a good idea to try and emulate those types of conditions 100 percent (such as giving them a ridiculous amount o space). I mean, these are captive animals that we as owners want to be as stress-free as possible. Why risk it? That's just how I see this whole debate. [/QUOTE]
