Here are two of my A. diadematus in their enclosures. Caught both of them on there webs tonight. I've kept these girls in these enclosure since they were probably 0.5".
I keep these enclosures on a door of an outdoor building. I use thumbtacks to attach them to the door. Holes are also punched throughout the container with a thumbtack. Floral wire is used to attach the sticks to the tacks to make that frame. If the stick on the bottom doesn't have enough moss or lichen I add more to act as a padding in case the spider falls (it prefers to cling to the moss/lichen instead of leaving its home). Clear tape is used on the bottom of the lid to act as a hinge. The lid can hang vertically down or open just part way. When I open the enclosure and let the lid hang, boluses fall right out of the container (which works great for me since they're outside). The landscape photo in the background is just a cutout from a magazine which is kept outside the enclosure, between the wall and the back of the enclosure. The tacks keep it in place.
