Tarantula sling housing

[Ddoyle23]

Hi everyone, so I've had my B.smithii/ hamorii (not 100% sure which it is) sling for about 1 & 1/2 months now, it molted for the first time with me last week and is now considerably bigger so I've rehoused into a larger container, just wondered if anyone could help and tell me if this is suitable or whether it's too big for a spider of this size? The first picture was the temp container it came in and the 2nd is his new home, thank you in advance!

Container is fairly large for that size T.

Quick question; are those water crystals in the lower right corner? Tarantulas can't really use those very well. They can drink from a water dish easily though.

Plain water dish with tap water will be perfect.

I would keep it in a 16oz deli cup for a few more molts.

Awesome thanks so much! I've now rehoused into a 16oz container or a very similar size anyway so should be okay hopefully
