Dolichothele diamantinensis

I've just got myself this little beauty. It's about 1/2" in size. I'm wondering what size of enclosure would be best suited to her? Thinking a 4" cube ?? Thanks in advance!

Will work for now, I keep them in something smaller at that size.

They move really fast! Just a heads up.

Seems good to me. This T molts a ton and gets blue VERY fast, they are also very talented webbers. You’re gonna love watching it grow

I keep mine pretty small but it will web near the top lid so be careful when you open as they are fast. They grow quickly. Mine is about an inch now and eats alot. Give it anchor points. The colour even at small sizes is astonishing. That blue. I also have the Rufoniger and Exilis slings so interested to see how they grow. Very similar behaviour.

This may be what yours did, but this is not the norm for them.

Yes I think I agree with you especially after seeing her! Maybe my 2x2 after she molts in her little cup. Thanks

I had a sling around that size when I first got him.
I put him in a acrylic box around 2.5"x5ish. Tall because they LOVE to web up. They are super fast, so I didn't have an issue using an enclosure that size, as they will grow quick as well.
