Imagine if someone bought a dog and did the equivalent :/
yeahh like for real.....This is messed up people would be flipping their tops if this was a dog or cat or something cuddly....but thhis happens cause of pet stores for life sake....
whoops sorry I wasn't paying much attention to the thread lol, she seems to be doing fine but I spotted her dragging her abdomen on the substrate. Here's the new enclosure.

EDIT: She's been in her for a week and 2 days now I noticed her dragging her abdomen 2 days ago.

Did you even listed to what was said,im sorry but I have to be direct?? This is just as much of a death trap. if that T climbs up and falls it will likely be dead!!! :mad: You are on a death march withh thhis T. Fill that up ASAP with 75% substrate if you are going to use this or get a kritter keeper and house it an a more approriate size enclosure with no more than 1.5x DLS (diagnol leg span) from substrate level to lid!! Like please for thhe love of life, take thhis animals life and well being serious!!!! It does not deserve all of this!!

Add more substrate, and burry the water dish into the sub so it’s leveled for easy access.

Would some of us showing you photos of our terrestrial species enclosures help you to get a better visual of what kind of enclosure setup would be better suited for your spider? Because multiple people have listed lots of husbandry issues between the first enclosure and now with the second. If a visual would help you understand it better, I can some photos of my own setups when I get home and track down and link to threads of other people's setups as well for you. I really don't think we can understate how badly even the second enclosure needs corrected and I will gladly help with visual aids if that's what you need.
