I recently reserved a P. auratus from a local breeder that I'll be picking up on Wednesday. Originally, I had believed (without verifying) that I was purchasing a sling just based on the price. I messaged the breeder over the weekend inquiring if the spider had arrived yet. They ended up sending me a picture, and it is actually a 3.5" T. Turns out they were surprising me since I have made so many purchases in the past. I'm not complaining as most of my 17 Ts are slow growing slings around 1-2". It's also a verified female, which I am extremely excited about. The problem is that I need to find a good enclosure for it ahead of time.
With the growth rates of the species in mind, what size enclosure should I roughly be looking for to ensure I'm not having to rehouse again very quickly? Does anyone have any suggestions that are not a plastic tub? I really like to display my T's at every size, so I was looking for good acrylic or possibly glass enclosures I could convert.
I appreciate any responses.
