I can't find recent enclosure size standards for Ts anywhere. What are some recommendations for each genus/species? Answer in gallons, please
I was asking about enclosure sizes for some of the more common (adult) tarantulasEnclosure sizes vary and change with life stages. There is no absolute standard size for all tarantulas in gallons. We have dwarfs and semi dwarfs, and terrestrials, and large terrestrials, then smaller and larger fossorials, then larger amd smaller and even smaller arboreals. All with different max sizes and different size enclosures as they grow.
can you be more specific on what exactly you want to know?
Okay so which species exactly, there’s a lot of common adults?I was asking about enclosure sizes for some of the more common (adult) tarantulas
That was helpful. The enclosure sizes i was interested in were:Okay so which species exactly, there’s a lot of common adults?
here look through some of this this will likely answer some of your questions. threadhttps://arachnoboards.com/threads/enclosure-terrarium-pictures.48951/

Okay so that is a highly variable list, just to give you an example you have 4 different size arboreals Avicularia, Psalmopoeus, and Poecilotheria, yea these are all arboreals but there are sir ranges between the genera and size differences between MM and MF and between species in a single genera. Just as an example Some arboreal may do okay in something sized like the Exoterra Nano tall 8x8x12 and other may need the Exo mini tall 12x12x18.That was helpful. The enclosure sizes i was interested in were:
Grammostola rosea/porteri
Grammostola pulchripes
G. pulchra
Lp
Gbb
Brachypelma sp.
A. geniculata
Aphonopelma sp.
A. avicularia
Psalmopoeus sp.
Caribena versicolor
Poecilotheria sp.
H maculata
Nhandu sp.
Theraphosa blondi
etc.
I have broken your list down to similar species and needs L x W x HThat was helpful. The enclosure sizes i was interested in were:

Where are you getting these numbers from you are not honestly suggesting someone should have enclosures that are 2in shy of 4ft either long or tall.......BIG 46x 30 x 18
excuse me what??? 89inches........?
He's in Europe - those are in cm. I am giving him/her sizes they understandWhere are you getting these numbers from you are not honestly suggesting someone should have enclosures that are 2in shy of 4ft either long or tall.......
an arboreal does not need something 2 1/2 feet wide and deep and almost 4ft tall??
excuse me what??? 89inches........?
Ohhhh I knew you were in the US lol so I didn’t think you were in CM lol hahaha I was like dude......those are huge....He's in Europe - those are in cm. I am giving him/her sizes they understand
Arboreal
30 x 30 x 46 (cm) is 12" x 12" x 18"
the REALLY Big (for T blonde, T stirmi, LP) The one with 89
35 x 18 x 7, (@Schiem was pretty close)
Yeah, I'm American but because of my occupation I'm pretty versed in both.Ohhhh I knew you were in the US lol so I didn’t think you were in CM lol hahaha I was like dude......those are huge....
