Hey there, Well....so much for waiting 6 months lol... I'm now on my 4th tarantula lol - a Grammostola pulchripes
It's a little bit bigger than my other spiderling, and it's one of the ones I've had my eyes on before I got Mystery...but it's so cute.
I have called it Zoe and the reason behind that is because...it was originally reserved for a girl called Zoe and her name was on the box it was in...but Zoe's father didn't allow her to get it...so naturally I bought it lol.
Zoe seems to be very explorative as "she" (have to name them in my house - doesn't feel right otherwise), has been doing laps around her pot. I am a little worried though as s/he's currently in a clear "take-away" sized box, but Smidge is in a slightly bigger, what I would call, sauce pot. I'm now not sure what is right considering it was the same company I went to for both spiders...so is it Smidge's sauce pot or Zoe's takeaway box? I am fairly sure that the container should be Smidge-"sized"....but watching Zoe doing laps around her box and seeming very happy by it...do I transfer her into something smaller and Smidge-"sized"? Since I have bought Smidge home, "he" hasn't really moved much at all, so was wondering if moving Smidge into another take-away box would give "him" something to explore a bit more?
Here are some photos of both Smidge's little pot and Zoe's longer box and I have done a comparison photo at the end.

Any help with my question would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks in advance,
