[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 161918, member: 27444"] They dont need deep substrate...they dont burrow. I keep mine on 2-3 inches of coco fiber. It should be fairly dry except around the water dish. It should have lots of ventilation...this will help keep the humidity down. Even as slings...no humidity. Gbbs dont do well with wet humid enclosures. I have read they are found in the wild as high as a man or at the ground level. So that being said you can keep them pretty much in anything you want as long as you have lots of stuff to web to. I have kept them both as terrestrial and semi arboreal. It doesnt matter. Lots of people in other forums/fakebook will push that they are only terrestrial. They are just regurgitating what they have heard. Ive done it both ways successfully multiple times. As for falling...they are way more agile then any other terrestrial tarantula. I wouldn't put them in a enclosure more then 12" tall though as adults. Ive yet to see one fall when climbing but you never know.
