The general rule of thumb for fossorial species is at least 2x the diagonal leg span of the spider. In this case, that would be at least 3 inches. Personally, I'd offer at least 5 - your spider will appreciate the extra room. This species doesn't utilize a typical hide at all, meaning you can simply fill the enclosure with dirt, leaving only an inch or so at the top so it has somewhere to put dirt.

Remember to keep it slightly damp in there, they need the humidity.
