enclosure question

Sheazy, what are you planning on for thier enclosure when they get bigger? Or if anyone else has advice, it would be much appreciated. I have a little P. cancerides, I know thier terrestrial...but thier big and don't seem as heavy bodied as some of the other terrestrials. I have to buy a new enclosure soon, and I'm looking for ideas. I've had a great deal of difficulty on finding care sheets on these guys.

Phormictopus Cancerides

This is my p. cancerides, Athena. I may change the name if I find out it's a male.

I bought it as a P cancerides.
It is going to molt very soon, probably any day now. I have some doubts as well, but I will see what comes out of the molt:) It's still just a little guy, about 2 1/2".

P. Cancerides

I bought her back in 2005 at 5 inches and she was sold to me as P. Cancerides by a lady in Carrollton, TX.

Here's nothing to ellaborate indeed.
This is typical not P. cancerides at all...
