New enclosures, first timer.

[Ello it’s Ellen]

I got these 3x3x6 herpcult enclosures since I really liked the design. I have no tarantulas but have been researching for the last few weeks and want to get some for my birthday in about a month. Would these be alright for adult C. elegans or other dwarfs that like to bury?

3cm or 3in?

3cm no.

3in should be ok.

For an adult that may reach 2" in size a 3"x3" is too small regardless of depth. Average C. elegans adult is 1.5"+ I'd be looking for a 6" cube or 8" round with about 4" of substrate.
You can start a 3/4" to 1" sling in that enclosure but you will most likely have to re-home it some day.
