Enclosure recommendations?

I mean the cage I recommended.

Oh.

I agree with miss moxie. Nothing about the price (however the 'Nano' brand are more cheaper) but personally I wouldn't either house an adult arboreal offering not that much of height.

The critter keeper I have him in is about as tall as the 8x8x12 nano.

Yes. And for an 'avic' it's ok. Talking about arboreal T's in general, I do prefer, for the likes of fast high strung ones, to offer a bit of more height.

I have a DIY custom arboreal enclosure, the height is 50 cm, more or less (so + or - 19 inches).

I'm not sure if 8" x 8" x 12" is a suitable forever home for a full sized tarantula

They're fine for the smaller arboreals, there are a fair few that don't get much beyond 5" (A. minatrix/pretty much any Tapi/P. pulcher/etc.)

I haven't seen these offered for sale yet, even at the reptile shows, but they look interesting. The optional humidity panels for the top are a great concept, its about time a bigger reptile/terrarium company made such an option available with their tanks. Its something that Exo terra and Zoo Med should've started including with their terrariums years ago.

I went and bought a 12×12x18 zilla starter kit! It looks pretty suitable for my 3-4 inch Avicularia.

I'm pretty excited!
