What size for a juvenile?

[Russ1980]

Hey everyone.

New here and have some questions, looking to get a

Acanthoscurria geniculata​

(GIANT WHITE KNEE 5-7cm)​

Listed for sale as a juvenile, what size enclosure would be best? Can I go to an adult size for it or will I need to gradually increase to a bigger one?

What type of prize range is realistic?

Hello there. The general rule of thumb for terrestrial tarantulas is to choose an enclosure 3-4x the diagonal leg span of the T, with no more than 1.5-2x the DLS in free climbing height. You can tune the height by varying the amount of substrate inside the enclosure.
