Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 37329" data-attributes="member: 1152">As I've gotten more into the hobby, I tend to give mine larger enclosures as well. I started this practice with some of my faster and more defensive Ts (P. murinus, Poecilotheria species) then with my fast growers (Phormictopus, Pamphobeteus, Lasiodora) and now I do it with most of my Ts. The fewer times I have to move them, the less stress the Ts have to go through when their homes and dens are dug up and destroyed, and the fewer chances for escapes or bites.I agree completely, FaaFaa, that it's a delicate balance and takes some thought and that it's a matter of personal preference. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
