Hi guys, totally new to this, and have a real question. Please don't hate on me, I really just want to know.
Why do most people recommend small enclosures for Ts? I know that they do fine in smaller enclosures, but this seems cruel to me. Think of dogs/cats in small cages, birds in cages, etc. Wouldn't they do better having a larger enclosure to wander around or hunt? Do they just not do that? How is their behavior in the wild? Imitating their natural habitat seams the best solution in my opinion, including the size of enclosure, heat, humidity, substrate/plants/water scenarios.
I just bought a 15 gallon enclosure for my T and just couldn't see putting her in anything smaller. I am in the process of designing a vivarium, complete with live plants. I think she is a Haplopelma Vonwirthi from Vietnam, but not sure. Since I live in Bangkok Thailand, the climate is similar so not much maintaining to keep the temp/humidity ideal.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to the feedback.
