Opinions differ, for me personally a small rule was always about 3 times the size of the spider in each direction... Sometimes more, sometimes less...

id like to get bigger ones for them but loads of big enclosures would cost a fortune

I always use cheap plastic cups till they are fully grown... No need to buy expensive modern nonsense. The spider doesn't care...
I speak about body length not the leg span

Well now we need some pics after you’re done setting up the new enclosure! I love all nandhu so much!
