Nice setup, but wrong enclosure. You simply can't add enough substrate to minimize fall incidents should your T climb and lose its grip. You need something with less height for a terrestrial. The cage would be ideal for an arboreal like an Avicularia, for example.

Thanks for an advice. Well If I add like ALOT of more substrate it could be okay right? Now its like 15 centimeters height, so if I make it like 5cm by adding more substrate it could be fine

No. You need a different enclosure for your terrestrial. If you keep it in there, you're jeopardizing its safety. As I said before, an Avic (or Caribena) will look great in that enclosure, of course you'll need to set it up differently. Something that opens from the top is best for a terrestrial as there's no limit in how much substrate you can put as opposed as a side-opening enclosure (such as this one), you're limited to where the doors are located. Something like a 5 gallon glass tank or even a plastic Kritter Keeper of equivalent size will suit your B. hamorii much better.

Im trying to understand your post.. my terrarium is opening from the top (I thought its obvious from te photo), glass something like 5-7 gallon tank so exactly what you wrote I should have. Its not opening from the side. Maybe the photo looks confusing but its opened from the top and there is 15cm space between the substrate and the top.. so I will add to make it less in case of a fall maybe the photo looks confusing but basically your posts are "hate" for no reason
1_ Fill it 2/3rds to 3/4 with substrate. So the tarantula if at the lid could still touch the ground, that eliminates the fall threat
2_ get rid of the rocks. If the T burrows under them the T gets crushed and at present if the T winds up on the lid, the T falls and ruptures its opithsoma.
You can make that work, but you will need a lot of dirt which will essentially be wasted space. On the other hand, it could be interesting to see how deep those species will burrow if given a chance
I think the glare on the side is fooling people into thinking there is a door.

My posts are "hate" ? Definitely not. See, I care deeply about the wellbeing of the animal, hence why I wanted to give you advice. If I don't agree with something, you'll know why. It's always a good reason for the safety of the animal in mind.
