Hi guys! I went a bit off-topic with my "introduce yourself" post regarding housing so I'll re-post here in hope of some wisdom from you lovely lot. I recently purchased my first three T's with separate Exo-Terras from a previous owner. They are all sub-adult/adult of the following species: Achantoscurria geniculata, Brachypelma aurata and a Davus fasciatus. But thanks to some excellent tips from user "Cold Blood" I now know that the Exo-Terras are not recommended for terrestrials.

Which brings me to the question(s): I have an unused aquarium with the following measurements: 14" (35cm) tall / 14" (35cm) deep / 30" (77cm) wide. Would sectioning this off into three compartments with 4" substrate be an option? Would it be stressful for the animals regarding each others pheromones, vibrations and so on? Now that I'm doing the math maybe two compartments would be better with the smaller D. Fasciatus in a separate enclosure. Thoughts?Sorry to say, those enclosures, having the front opening doors, are arboreal enclosures and should only house terrestrials if modified so that the front door is on the top. Those are about the most expensive enclosures you can buy for a t, which is why I expect they were suggested by a motivated seller. Cheaper enclosures are not always worse, in fact some of the best enclosures are also the cheapest (sterilite).
