For adult terrestrial T's like T. Albopilosus, G. Pulchra, G. Pulchripes, G Rosea would an exo terra large flat fuanarium suit?

I really like the look of these, they offer great floor space plus they are stackable, only thing going against them is height...you can't offer an awful lot of substrate.

Anyone use these for terrestrials?

It would work. I’d prefer something with some more depth however. Just to give them the option to burrow if they desire. My T.albo is a burrowing machine

I think those are 6.5" (16.5cm) deep so probably 3.5" (7.62 cm) of substrate is about as deep as you can go. I have sub adult Grammastolas in the smaller versions and they are doing great.

I would probably want deeper for super fossorial species

Should be fine for the Grammos as none of them really burrow much (if at all) IME, I'd give the albo something with more depth as they do sometimes like to dig though.
