Thoughts on C Lividum enclosure ?

[MygaloMofo]

I just picked up this cobalt blue any thoughts on the enclosure ? I added in leaves and small twigs (which were boiled before being put in the enclosure) and sphagnum moss and some plastic plants. I also added a colony of about 25 isopods with my T. So far I haven’t had any problems and it’s eating fine. Any thoughts on the enclosure ? Anything I should change ?

Looks good. Do you have a water dish? I would use a little larger terrarium. Your tarantula is pretty big already... just a thought.

I love the effort you’ve gone through and it looks awesome but I’d consider a larger enclosure as stated she looks pretty large and upgrading means she can live her best life in there without needing a rehouse, I would also give her a lot more substrate, these tarantulas are notorious pet holes they live (for the most part) in burrows. Use that log hide and create a starter burrow, she’ll find it and do her own house work.

My lividum is in a standard Jamie's enclosure. She is about as big as your beauty. I have nearly filled the enclosure to the brim with substrate. She is happy with her extensive tunnel system. I am not--i don't get to see her much. I agree with T baby. Your set up is awesome. More substrate and eliminate the hide and you have the perfect enclosure.

Okay thanks everyone ! I have bought a 10 gallon all I need now is more cocofiber so she can make bigger burrows and have more space too dig

everything said already is spot on. Only point I would add is make sure the lid shuts tight! ha ha

Phil is right. This species has been known to bite multiple times.

Looks great! As was stated, maybe a bigger enclosure for sure with deeper substrate as your specimen has some size and is definitely a beauty!
