I decided to bought another Pterinochilus murinus DCF, this time a 3.15', but I wanted to ask about the recommended size enclosure for this speciment.

You would have no issue putting them in their final enclosure. I have mine in a 10x10 and they'll likely stay put. Your post makes me want to get a DCF. Gorgeous T!

Yea I agree at that size fine to just put into an adult size enclosure so you don't have to rehouse it again. Never had an issue with this species settling in they're very hardy, adaptable and good eaters

I also agree that Stu needs more color forms of P. murinus! 🙉

final home. 4-10 gallon. I like 14 x 8 x 10 with about 6" of substrate so they can burrow if they want

We had both Kigoma and Mikumi DCFs at the last show. The Mikumis have some gold on the carapace and on the femur fur, the Kigoma have burnt orange of the femur fur. Both good looking
