Hello,
I'm a newbie from Denmark with some experience with adult and sub-adult New World ground species.
I have taken the leap and have recently purchased some spiderlings of Poecilotheria metallica and Avicularia versicolor from a German breeder. I will receive them in the end of July. Size of spiderlings (body lenght) is approximately 0.4" (1 cm).
I have a specific question regarding the best size of enclosures for these arboreal species. I have some plastic boxes (see photo) that I will equip with appropriate side and top ventilation using metal mesh. The dimensions of these boxes are 7.9" x 4.7" x 3.1" (H x W x D) or 20 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm. Are the dimensions suited for these arboreal species? Too tall or too small footprint?
I will appreciate any comment in relation to the enclosures or the mentioned spiderlings. Thanks!
Greetings,
Dan
