Is this enough substrate for a juvenile P.auratus and A.geniculata?

Is this enough substrate for a juvenile tarantula? I just got 2 juveniles, one P.auratus and A.geniculata.

No

Substrate to lid should be 1.5x the diagonal leg span of the tarantula. Also, you’ll need a row of vent holes just above the substrate level and the lid to create air flow. I’d also put a few on the sides as well.

The species in question have no such requirements. Avic needs should not just be applied across the board.

Independent of physical requirements for survival, I believe anything that breathes deserves fresh, flowing air.

But tarantulas don't actually breathe.

You make it sound like the OP is using a sealed box...lol

Depends on how big "juvenile" is. How long are the tarantulas?
