I'm not sure about the venilation. I think it would be fine, but I don't have years of experience. I am curious about how you attatched your hinges though. I have a 2.5 gallon as well I wanna use for my P. cambridge once it grows a bit. But am still figuring out the best method for attatching the hinges.

It looks fine to me, what did you attach the hinges with? just asking cause you have a lock on it. The size should be fine for a juvie/sub-adult Avic, at full grown I would go for a vertical 5gall would do, do you have a water dish or are you misting down the side?.

I think I spy a water bowl in that photo.

It's possible FearNot, just hard to see form the pic view and lighting.

yes i have water bowl and i attach it with a adhesive glue , the hot glue would not hold it

hot glue SUCKS when it comes to glass.

and to answer your OG question, yes that should be just fine

Yes that is plenty of ventilation , any more and you'll just be misting more.

Probably he already has to.
Is that a hygrometer in the picture? Is it 50%?

 

[Mroz]

yes it was showing 50% . that was the time when i just put water a mist the whole thing for first time .... it showing 70% that should be fine no?

Yes 70% is fine. Don't rely too much on that hygrometer cos it's cheap and might measure wrong after a while.
70% after misting or normally?

 

[Mroz]

after misting 70-75%

 

[Roblicious]

those hygrometers are never really that accurate, just look at the substrate and go from there

Personally, I think three 2" vents is overkill. I use a single 2" vent on my 2.5gals & two 2"ers on my 5gals and I've never really had any problems with mold. I use a jello-shot container as a water bowl & instead of misting, I prefer to add water to the substrate instead.

Looks fine to me. Might be more than is necessary but the tarantula won't care or suffer any ill effects.
