Kukulcania hibernalis enclosure size

[fried rice]

Could a kukulcania hibernalis live in a terrestrial juvenile enclosure kit from Jamie’s tarantulas? in the description it says it is recommended for slings under 2 1/2 inches. Kukulcania hibernalis can get 2 inches. The enclosure is 4x5 inches.

According to this study, juvenile Kukulcania Hibernalis tend to select crevices of its size.

Adult females that produced the eggs for the study were kept "in plastic jars (9 cm diam. × 10 cm) in the laboratory at ambient temperature (21–24 °C) with a 12:12 h L light cycle. Each jar contained a 10 cm long inclined stick to serve as a perch and a 1 cm3 moistened sponge on the bottom for hydration. I fed spiders a few mealworms (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Tenebrio molitor L.) or domestic crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Acheta domestica (L.)) 1–2 times weekly. Additional water was provided at feeding by misting."

IMO, that would be on the small side for an adult Kuk -- they web a lot -- but is doable in a pinch.

I believe a 32 oz should be good
