Is this enclosure too small?

[alf89757]

I started keeping T's not too long ago, and I've been keeping my G. Rosea in this enclosure, but it seems kinda small for her, so I was wondering if it's necessary to get a bigger one. I actually have a slightly larger one setup, but its ventilation is not as good, so I'm just wondering if I should use it?

its looking a bit on the small side
i would upgrade its home to the other one
you could solder of drill some holes into the lid of the other enclosure for more ventilation and it would be ok i would say

I'd agree, it's a little small. The other one should be fine, don't worry too much about the ventilation.

I don't know if this is due to bad ventilation, but today I just saw a little white insect in the large enclosure that looks very much like a grasshopper. It was trying to climb the side and when i disturbed it, it started jumping around, so I'm pretty sure it was a grasshopper. Do you have any idea what it is?
And I'll drill some holes on the lid so there'd be better ventilation for future housing T purposes.

If you feed your tarantula crickets, it could be a cricket that molted.

As for the size... any other spider I would say it's on the small side for, but an average G. rosea does not need a lot of space. They don't really move much... well, most of them.

Rose Hairs are weird.

I'd say its not too small for that rosie.it doesn't need much extra space.

You should provide more dirt for your rosea - they can be burrowers if they choose too mine was however, i also kept mine is a enclosure twice as wide as that... along with a proper hide. The length is fine, so my only suggestion is you fine a critter keeper or tub that is wider. Woo

I've kept G. rosea for years in similar sizes and setups without any issues at all. I say you are good to go..

+1 Not much space needed for rosie's. They are practically pet rocks.
