If you're in an area with a Container Store, look for an Amac box. You can buy from them online too. They're cheap too

looks like the wallmart up the road has amac food containers.. how much ventilation is necessary?

Still havent peeled myself off the computer to go shoping haha. I have this laying around for crickets, would something this size still be too large

1" ts will walk right out of even the smallest kk.

The exo terra is a terrible option....in fact, its not an option....its an ADULT arboreal enclosure.

Get deli cups like you were suggested are excellent and basically free.

just love it when people do zero research and go out and buy OWs. have fun..

A deli cup with a burrow wrapped around it and a vicious spider tucked away under the substrate looks worlds cooler than any of the terrariums posted in here so far, so if it's the cool factor that's keeping you back, I think you're covered.

did she dig that out herself? did you place her in the deli cup with that much matterial and she dug?

Yes. These are very fast at digging a burrow and dig to the bottom. I actually removed topsoil as it dug the burrow, or there would not be space for its water cap. This one has molted twice, still unsexed, molts were badly torn when retrieved. I've 2 others, both females, 6" and nearly 4" and I rarely see them.
As Chris stated these are a slow growing species and don't be a "substrate Scrooge".

Update.. picked these up today.. anyone got input on how many holes i should drill and approximate size

 

[D Sherlod]

Those are perfect for small slings.
if it's being used for a burrowing species I would drill 3 or 4 holes on each side and 4 or 5 on the top.

If it's for an aboreal species turn it upside down and drill 12-20 holes on 2 of the sides across from each other.

Make sure the holes are small enough so the sling or prey can't escape

if its for an avic, invert it....for other arboreals you do NOT want it inverted.

I didn't know that,,, why not for all aboreals?

The rest make homes at ground level until adulthood.
