Good they ship it with the liner still on. Keeping costs down using cast acrylic. Slots are faster to cut than holes so that too is keeping the price down.New enclosure arrived, roughly lxwxh 10”x15”x7.5”
should be plenty for the next couple molts. Ran me 30 quid (EU)on the big river. The ventilation slots look quite big though, I think I might have to seal them with something from the outside. The red runners I got atm would squeeze through for sure. Adult crickets might not fit. So I might switch to locust for the time being.
anyway the spider is not ready to move out anyway, I am going to give it another week to recover from the molt and see how it reacts.
but the rehousing is absolutely necessary, the poor thing needs some air to breathe. I never would have expected it to grow so rapidly. The last two feel like it doubled in size. Also looking forward to provide more space for digging and a better hide than that coco husk.

Sex the molt if possible.Spider is looking super lanky, what do you guys think, male or female? From all images I have seen I strongly assume it is going to turn out as a male. View attachment 484553

Post that second from the last picture in the sexing forum for confirmation of your female. I’m seeing a pouch opening there.sun!
Looks like that's female from the 2nd last picSoo I build the new terra, but I have not moved the spider yet, as I am beginning to have second thoughts about the size of the new enclosure.
I felt it might be too big for the spider and also I wanted to first feed all the red runner roaches I had been breeding in a big box, as I think those will be able to escape through the vents, which are kinda big.
The new box has a looot of space and I tried to make it interesting with providing cork bark for a possible burrow entrance and some more stuff for enrichment.

I am waiting for the spider to make another molt cycle before rehousing, at this rate it should have eaten all the roaches by then.
The spider seems insatiable, sucking those roaches dry like capri sun!
