You can use a normal glass terrarium like this:

Or a special safe terrarium like this:

For smaller species, there is also the possibility to use plastic containers such aus braplast or firstplast....

A 19 qrt rubber container works well too.

It all depends on the pede you get really. Just make sure the tank is 1.5x higher than the individuals BL and 2x as long as it. 5-10 gallon tanks work great but there are alot of other ideas and ways to house a pede. Here is a pic of a setup for a larger pede.

@cjm

So you're saying that I should be keeping my 9"+ pede in a tank that's 14" tall?

Unless you want a 9"+ pede roaming your house it's a good idea. they find any and every possible way to escape and will jump on the opportunity if given it. If the enclosure is taller than the pede's BL there is no chance of it escaping.
