[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 174048, member: 32655"] That is a top-opening tall enclosure so it would work with most (if not all) burrowing / arboreal species. In terms of beginner T's, Aphonopelma seemani would be the top candidate as a burrowing specie. It's actually quite fun to watch it bulldoze everything and relandscape the tank. As for arboreals... I would hesitate to house Avicularia / Caribena species in there There is no cross ventilation but then the top is very well-ventilated so it's sort of a wash e.g. as long as you are careful with not over-wetting things, you probably are ok with Avic / Caribena but then it would not be easy to strike a balance. You can even house terrestrials in there but just have to make sure to add A LOT of substrate so the distance between the top of the substrate to the top of the tank is no larger than 2x the diagonal leg span of the T. There are actually many species that could be arguably beginner's friendly, depending on the level of beginner-ness (e.g. someone with experience keeping invertibrates / reptiles is a different kind of beginner with T's as compared to someone who has never kept any small animals).
