With a brachypelma albopilosum? Your looking at about 8 years or so until it’ll grow into it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />It’s on the large side tbh. I would scale it down quite a lot. Ts like small dark spaces and without anywhere to feel safe it could start to stress your T out .Comparing your T to the bottle top dish? It’s hard to size but I would recommend maybe getting an exo Terra breeding box small. Over here there about £10 so I think that’s around $15? Not 100% sure but they are nice enclosures.  For the hide it’s hard to say with the pictures but in general mold isnt great. For a hide you’d be better off using a small plastic plant pot and cut it in half. I’ll post a picture of my enclosure if I can get a decent picture. Hope this has helped</blockquote>
