These guys web like crazy. I give them slightly more head space than the usual fossorial with some cork bark placed vertical, there not long in covering the whole enclosure with web. Give them slightly dampend substrate and provide a water dish, although it will get webbed up constantly. Here is a photo of my Chilobrachys Sp Kaeng Krachan sling, just moulted last week.

It's in a 6x6 cube container with holes drilled for ventilation has roughly 3" of substrate and is now around 1.5" so will be getting rehoused after the next moult.

I'm a big Tarantula Cribs cube guy. Like the fact that lid sits on top with no sliders so when doing maintenance you can move the lid where you need to. I find that important when dealing with things like Cyriopagopous males or extremely likely to bolt T. Lid locked in by sliders you go one way...no matter where the spider is! Chilobrachys, while old world, some can be extremely mild. I adore the species! Have some serious holes in the collection I need to amend though! Happy Spoodering!!! BTW come in several different sizes!

I use a variety of different enclosures. What is good for one T is not for another. I have a couple of fossorials in arboreal enclosures, with deep substrate. I have a largish fossorial in a large clear plastic storage box, which weighs so much it sits on the floor. I use kitchen storage tubs. The 5.8 litre & the 4 inch, by 4 inch, by 4 inch braplasts for larger slings. But what I do not normally use for my fossorials are conventional tubs, which simply do not have sufficient depth for substrate, plus head space, once you get past small juveniles.
