Appropriate enclosure (curly hair)

[Haley Rutherford]

I have a curly haired T leg span is maybe about 2 inches and i have her housed in this bin, with lots ventilation i was just wondering if it was big enough because i see people using 5 gal tanks. When the 15 quart is 3.75 gal.

5 gallon is way to big for a 2" specimen, when my B. albopilosum was 2" I housed her in a plastic Rubbermaid box. That container seems a bit large for a B. albopilosum that size in my opinion, but that is just based off the screenshot.

Yeah it’s shorter in person I’ll post pics in a bit and she’s pretty big so i could be wrong too.

This isn’t a very good picture but that’s an idea

That is more than enough space for a 2" spider. I'd even go smaller, like a small Exo Terra Breeding Box (8" x 8" x 5.5").

That enclosure looks fine. It may be oversized, but that won't hurt her as long as she doesn't have too far to fall.

I would bury most of the hide, however.
