Breeding Enclosures - Best Types

[dayredfern]

Hey Every1, i am looking on starting to pair up all my tarantulas and breeding a few. What are the best tanks to use. i have a Female G.Rosea in a 'flat' critter keeper/geo tank thingy and breeding really goes well in this, its about 18"x12"x6"
i have my Female B.Smithi in a 18"x12"x12" which is just too bulky! shud i
change her to the shallower tank the same as my rosea?
Also what do all you guys use?

thanks

I have just traditionally put the male in the female enclosure. Its worked well for me so far, but I have limited experience. I house all my adult T's in 20 qt Sterlite brand bins. I have heard of using "neutral ground" for breeding. If I were to use this method, it would still be a bin of the same dimensions most likely.
