It's plastic, should I get a different tank?

Screens are where problems can occur. Your top looks fine.

I use crickets as well. I haven't had a T yet that dislikes crickets.

That setup is fine for Brachypelma species.

Baumgarteni arent seen very often. You got a great T.

No problem! I would expect it to mature soon. Maybe with the next moult. If you get some good photos of the T can you post them in the gallery? I would like to see if can figure out the species

If he matures, i would search for a lady for him, B.baumgarteni are a more rare species, so any offspring he produces is more than welcome.
