Loving my Acanthoscurria geniculata

That's the one thing I like about the species too. They can gain a large amount of size in just one moult. Mine went from 4" to ~5.5" in one moult. I think housing them in an enclosure that looks a bit too big or their final enclosure is a good idea once they reach 3-4" if you want to avoid rehousing.

I agree. This is her third or fourth molt in this one - I'll be looking to buy a nice display enclosure soon enough.

Why...is that T in an arboreal enclosure? I'd use that for raising Avics or something, or a Psalmopeous sp. instead and put her into a smaller sized shoebox-type enclosure.

Rule of thumb for terrestrials = 3x legspan in width, max 2x in height.

To me that looks like you tossed Pikachu into the batcave - no offense

It's not in an arboreal enclosure if you're talking about mine. She dug that giant gap in the side out herself.

When I put her in it she had 4x the legspan and plenty of substrate with a little headroom to grow.

This is the only place where people will understand just how happy and excited I am to finally have gotten one of these slings to raise, haha
