[QUOTE="Nada, post: 5802, member: 361"] The issues with extra space, is that it may hinder the T in hunting.Ts (especially Terrestrial) tend to conseve energy, and are unlikely to chase a prey item in to large of an enclosure. In the wild there are more prey items, and more oppertunities, in captivity, that is not the case. In addition to that, many Ts will just ignore the majority of the space in a large container. I keep my Brachypelma sp in 10 gallon tanks, and they rarely venture passed their particular corner, unless it's for a drink. [/QUOTE]
