[QUOTE="Tarino Palma, post: 219190, member: 39264"] I currently have my terrestrials set up in enclosures that are are 3 times the DLS - height doesn’t make or break me buying it, since I can just adjust the substrate level to make sure they don’t have too much height to fall from, should that happen. I have some enclosures that have the same dimensions as ones you mentioned and I am guilty of going a little big with my best display Ts. About your avics, my girl is a little 4 inch nugget and she is in a 12” high enclosure. I have other arboreals who get around the same thing (3 times their dsl with lots of privacy and anchor points. Mine has to be the worlds slowest Webber, but she eats well. Is always out on display and has a nice round bootie and is super chill. I like to think she appreciates the enclosure set up. I was able to find enclosures that are 14” and 18” tall for my P Cam and H Mac, but they have more size than my Avicularia Avicularia. That might be something to look at if your avics are a little bigger than mine. For the most part, I stick with 3-4 times their size when choosing their enclosures, which I’m sure you ve heard a million times. I follow that “rule of thumb” 95% of time. Like I said though, my big bulky terrestrial display Ts might get a little more real estate (I also like to decorate my display ts enclosure - I like the eye candy) [/QUOTE]
