4.5" x 4.5" x 10" high. What size arboreals can you put into these? what is the smallest and biggest size that should be in these enclosures. It's about 3.5 liters, which is about 1 gallon. Here is a picture.

It really depends on the spider but any arb at/over 2" and under 4.5" should do ok in there

Sorry, yeah I did mean to state arboreal. Clearly with that much substrate it would not be viable for a terrestrial. Thanks Mr.Kenny.

So my buddies H.Maculata would strive in that enclosure for the remainder of it's life? I think he said it was 2.5 inches max, 2 inches min.

H.Macs get to 5.5" I wouldn't keep an adult Mac in there. 4.5" is really the absolute Max I would keep in there, I'd more likely be more confortable with 4"
