Is a 10 gallon tank suitable for an adult Phormictopus sp dominican purple?

Or would a 15 gallon be better?

Ten should be fine.

I've got mine in one of those acrylic numbers that you assemble yourself... decent size, I've got to think is at LEAST the footprint of a 10gal, maybe even a little larger, but roughly a third the hight... I'll get back with exact dimensions, but I'm pretty sure it was from one of the big guys like ZooMed, or exo-terra; I see them even at the chain pet stores, & they're cheap. I'm not a terrestrial guy, but I like these, because they have a HUGE clear lid, you can see everything in there quite nicely.

Ouu I didn't know those guys made acrylic enclosures. Right now I'm looking to get exo terras 10 gallon 20x10x12 enclosure but I would prefer an enclosure with an acrylic lid so I don't have to install one. Where did you get it?

I got mine at a local, but I HAVE seen them in a couple chains...

That'll work just fine and dandy.

I used a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium for my 7" P. atrichromatus and it was very adequate. I got some great video of her crawling all over the enclosure at night webbing it up.



My first attempt at a custom acrylic lid. It's ugly, but worked. This was a strong spider.

Are you in the U.S.? Have you looked at the Reptile Growth terrariums you can find on Amazon? (https://www.amazon.com/stores/ReptileGrowth/page/BBE8C2E7-901A-4EDD-9871-2EA4007798BA). They used to come in only two sizes, but they have a bunch now including 10 gallon and vertical ones. I've been using these exclusively lately and have had no problems.

Im in canada but we still are able to buy these online. I was looking at the 10 gallon one but the only thing is I'd prefer to have a clear lid on top and it looks like it would he hard to replace the mesh lid on that type

I use 10 gallon tanks for most but 3 of my adult Ts . Good size plenty of space .
