Curly hair Tarantula enclosure size....

[benson1990]

Would an adult curly hair be okay in an enclosure that measures 12.4 inches long x 8 inches wide x 10 inches high?

I was going to use a large Exo Terra flat fuanarium but this really lacks height, it's only six inches high but there are vents on the side going all the way round that limit height even more, so realistically you'd only get a max of 2-3 inches of substrate in it, but it is longer and wider 16 inches long and 10 inches wide.

What are your thoughts on which best to go with?

For my adult curly hair and other adult ones I use 20” long, 13” high and 10” wide. Seems to be enough room for them to be happy.

A little on the narrow side for an adult new world terrestrial.

So be better of going with the exo terra flat and sacrificing the height?

What kind of enclosure are you using? Im finding it hard to find one with the right dimensions.

I am struggling to find one too for my adult Sericopelma Angustum (I am in the UK) and had also considered the Exo Terra flat fuanarium. I too am confused whether sacrificing the height for the length of that is best to do or not. The biggest plastic one I could find is the Exo terra large one > https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00025YVUI/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1PH60OYR84OEQ&psc=1.

Then I found this one which is about the same size but cheaper, so have gone for this for now. It arrived today and seems to be the same quality as the Exo terra ones > https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015OD9OSQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am wanting plastic as anything bigger that isn't plastic, with more height than the exo terra flat one, is like over £100 > https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exo-Terra-...pplies&sprefix=exo+terra+larg,pets,175&sr=1-1

I may eventually have to get one of those when I have more money.

P.s. I just found this - is this any larger that your exo terra flat - is
yours a medium version of this? This one says

Product Dimensions	46.99 x 34.29 x 25.4 cm; 1 Kilograms

If you don't mind something that is not too fancy, the "really useful " plastic boxes 3L and 9L are good
