She's 8 months old & already 4 inches. The enclosure I got her is a 12x12x5. The enclosure is 5 inches tall & I put in 2 inches of exo earth. I also put some moss towards the back corner & got a wide but shallow water dish & a good sized hide. I also put in a analog hygrometer that reads 70%. Tips?
That actually looks great! Due to the humidity requirements of this species, keep an eye out for mold. It's a quick cleanup if you pick out spots as they appear, but it's a huge hassle if you let it get out of hand. As louise f said, ditch any gauges you have.
Great setup! It's optional but you can add springtails and/or dwarf isopods as clean up. No harm to the t and once you get a nice colony going in there, you can add some to other moist enclosures. They will help keep the aforementioned mold down.
@gypsy cola I also bought it at the expo along with my T. The guy I bought it from made these himself. If you look up "Tarantula Enclosure for sale" you'll find a few different companies that make them.
