[QUOTE="Rosey_Slingster, post: 189178, member: 33424"] [USER=33125]@Coradams[/USER] ah, so this enclosure I am thinking on getting, would be ideal for her, my understanding is they do not usually (including females) get over 6 inches? As, ideally, this would be her adult enclosure, with the intention of not increasing the size. It seems the one she is in now, needs to be taller and wider... I think I should get this bigger enclosure for her. This one she is n now was only temporary till she molted a couple more times and hit her adult size. Just measured her molt an seems to be 4inch DSL although she looks maybe at most about an inch bigger now. I would be surprised if she's over 5.5inch. I've had her about 6 months and she's molted recently, and before I got her, she molted I would say a from this molt about 7 months ago. An she was a juvi-sub adult. So I would geuss se is about sub adult size now. I am not certain as I am new to Teranchular keeping. I have the loose spagnum moss in their, currently. Really referring to potted moss plants over loose moss. I was hoping too have a few hides in place to keep them entertained, if they get dug up, I will just stick with fake plants. Although really would be benifital too their health and hopefully the spider to not dig them up. It seems some species are more prone to digging up plants and doing more renovation? Yeah, that is also why I was going to get a bigger enclosure and have many more hides for her at difrent levels. Just an idea, would it be possible to say have a potted plant suspension in place or fixed to a wall in a raised elevation l, would that Determine the plant to be less likely to be dug up? I suppose its just finding a plant they like enough to not dig up, maybe they have a preference for a certain plant ♀️ Failing that, I can just have a Planted globe or something. I find they tend to burry their water bowls... And hat send the hairs flying Aller the place and I end up super itchy! Hence wanting to get a larger enclosure where I have a wall mounted dish or something that they can't burry. I find my Albo spends a lot of time in her burrow and has attached the leaves aorunfd the entire entrance in an almost archway formation, looks rather nice and will probably have that transplanted as her main/starter burrow. She seems to dig the burrow and not much else, apart from her runway entrances. [/QUOTE]
