You posted asking for the size of enclos ure for a 9" G. Pulchra, that's very specific dude, when is your humongous spider arriving? I am really intrigued now - you've got to post a picture of the monster ASAP mate, we're all dying to see it.
I believe he was addressing the second post in this thread, where someone was recommending a 20 gallon long and calling out the 12" x 12" x 30" dimensions.
20 gallon enclosure is overkill surely, what are the dimensions of a 10 gallon enclosure, surely that would be suitable for a 9" terrestrial sp. I'm not sure what the dimensions of the 10 compared to the 20 gallon would be I'm only going from what I can recall. Has the OP posted what sp. it is yet.
A 10 gallon is sufficient for most any T.
TBH I'm not surprised, although no matter what sp. the T is we would all like to see it, it just sounded dodgy from the start, I would like to proven wrong, but if it were you or me that had a 9" terrestrial sp. you would want to show it off, come on OP where's the picture. Prove us all wrong I really want to see this mahoosive tarantula
He started the thread Saturday. It's only Wednesday. Hardly enough time has passed to get impatient. He never said it was on its way in his first post. He said the person he's getting it from also likes to pull surprises. He's never said that it has definitely been shipped. Patience peeps. It's a virtue. I'll start wondering around the 1.5-2 week mark. Gears turn slow sometimes especially if there's no rush to ship. If I were him reading these impatient posts it would just encourage me to delay posting just to mess with you.
The burning question!
Not if you keep your P. antinous communal
Ouch my fingers are well and truly burnt then, I'm waiting to see the spider,He started the thread Saturday. It's only Wednesday. Hardly enough time has passed to get impatient.

Give it a few days, he knows where this thread is, he'll update when he gets it and has photos. If not, we can bump the post later, if it's that important to us we'll remember to ask for a follow-up
The burning question!
Awesome, do you have any idea when the spider is arriving or when it's being shipped, these things shouldn't be left to chance, especially arranging the setup for the species, you really should know what you have arriving so you can get organised for new addition, good luck and I hope you get the best surprise of you life. That would be cool if you were to receive a 9" terrestrial sp.
The thing just arrived and just wtf. The thing isn't even past the 4" mark. I'm never trusting the guy again.
Grammostola pulchra is still a beautiful display tarantula, even if you don't have a giant. (But you should have been skeptical of someone claiming to sell a 9" pulchra, as they generally max out at about 6".)
Looks like you predicted the outcome, next time don't believe it until you see it.
lmao what a monster! Maybe he's measuring in cm. 9cm is around 3-4 inches. Don't sweat it, I wasn't expecting to see a 9" G.pulchra anyway.
I'm with you, can about guarantee that's what happened. Surprised no one thought of that earlier, I know I didn't lol.
I thought the seller was just full of manure TBH, lovely looking sp. though, and @Petah Parkah you certainly captured a great shot, lovely looking spider, the iridescence on the underside is beautiful, I'm a little disappointed for you, especially when you were expecting a 9" terrestrial sp. But hey you've got yourself a beauty there.
