Depends on the size of the spider I got an empty 20 gallon long are used to house a salmon pink Bird eater that could also fit a goliath adult. I housed a goliath in a 10 gal once but I couldn’t save it from a cyst it came with.

Exactly- but the OP didn’t know how to ask that simple question

Rubbermaid (or generic) tote.

Semantics...you knew what I meant

Read my mind about what? Every time I ask a legit question you always give me a hard time for some reason

I was looking at 10 and 20 gallon glass tanks but my concern is lack of cross ventilation. I also looked at tarantula cribs, nanezoo, and reptizoo as well but I feel like there isn't an acrylic enclosure big enough

What size would you suggest for a full grown specimen

What size would you suggest for a full grown specimen

I use something like this for similarly sized critters. Might be a little overkill since a tarantula is less active than a centipede. It's not the prettiest, but you can drill holes easiely and it is cheap.

Wrong- you’re not a mind reader

do you know how many peeps ask a generic question, but really need a specific answer due to some reason or another— almost everyone.

so when I see a generic question, I provide a generic answer

the detail you left out- what SIZE is the animal maybe you own a sling who the hell knows

So you choose to sarcasm and a condescending response when you don't like someone's question or the way they stated a question. Got it. How come you're incapable of supposedly comprehending my question but there are a few other people that responded to my question with proper responses? I guess they ARE mind readers?

Your question was fine, and I provided you a fine answer.

If you provide a question with more detail you get an answer with more detail from me. I’m not in the guessing game of what anyone needs

I can’t speak for others’ motivations

That size linked above would be good. The good thing is these are relatively inexpensive, so if you get one that ends up not working well, it's not usually an issue to scrap it and try a different one. That's not usually the case with glass or acrylic enclosures.

If you're getting an adult specimen, I highly recommend ordering a custom enclosure if you're able to splurge. I ordered a custom 18 gallon acrylic enclosure with both side and top ventilation. It wasn't exactly cheap, but in my opinion was worth every penny. My AF is thriving in it, it looks nice, and it's good for a moisture dependent species. Of course there are less expensive options if you're so inclined and want to go the DIY route, as others have mentioned.
