I really appreciate all the help! I would be devistated of something happend to any of them due to neglegence on my part that could have been easily prevented.Main issue with your Theraphosa setup is the excessive height, terrestrials can be severely injured or killed in the event of a fall. You have the same problem with your B.albopilosum setup, nice effort though...I can see you really care, but have been misinformed. The vertical height in your enclosure shouldn't exceed 1.5 times your tarantulas diagonal leg span. You also want to avoid screen lids as they can get stuck in them pretty easily, sometimes resulting in loss of limbs.
Theraphosa are actually quite simple to keep, most people just seem to over complicate things. Tubs are the simplest solution thats best suited for these spiders IMO, the hard top doesn't allow moisture to escape quickly and the cross vent gives you great airflow. These are the conditions Theraphosa thrive in. Also, make sure it has good sub depth, and partially bury its hide...should look something like this.
I am so glad I found this website and thread! Its a lifesaver for not only my ts but my heart lol
