50 gallon!? I am about to order a T stirmi and I always read 20 gallon was about the max space they needed. Am I wrong, or are you just into bigger enclosures? I'm not judging, I just want to make sure I do things right when I get her home. ordering a juvie and figured i'd start her in a 10 and move her up to 20 later. maybe i should start a different thread but this answer just surprised me so i had to respond.For my T stirmi I usually introduce about 25, then watch to be sure the population doe not get too high. She is in a 50gal enclosure.
Besides the pointless reason for doing it...How do you watch that the population doesn't get to high?For my T stirmi I usually introduce about 25, then watch to be sure the population doe not get too high. She is in a 50gal enclosure.
I have built a natural vivarium in an effort to recreate her natural habitat. It is a beautiful display and she uses every inch of it when comes out at night. Does she "need" a 50gal, no not really, but I want her to have it and I enjoy creating and maintaining a micro habitat. A 20gal will be fine for yours.50 gallon!?

I do not find the simple enjoyment of observing my tarantulas "pointless". As for the isopod population, they are out and active at night so, easy to watch.Besides the pointless reason for doing it...How do you watch that the population doesn't get to high?![]()
