what are the dimensions? I think I have one about that big for my LP's that are 1.5", and it's a good size, but will be too small in a molt or two.

I'm not sure of the dimensions I just found it around the house I'm trying to find a few containers because I'm going to be getting 3 slings in a few days and only one of them is over a inch.

Oh then it will be fine. Tarantulas live in cramped burrows, and as long as it can at least move and flip itself over, it should be good temporarily. But that also could be a permanent container if it's the right size, too.

You can get a sleeve of deli cups for a few dollars from a restaurant supply store. Much better than scrounging around the house for odd ball containers.

That enclosure is perfect for a 1" to 1 1/2" terrestrial
Straight coco coir is all you need

You lucky man =)
Looks like a good size just don't forget to add air holes to it. A soldering iron is a good way to do it if you have one

Yep, poke some ventilation holes (I generally use a heated nail) and you should be good to go. What species are you going to be putting in there?

Gotcha. I'm more of a Nhandu than a Grammostola man, but that's the sort of difficult, personality-defining decision that all keepers must face. Enjoy your spiders!

Very nice, I have almost 30 Ts and the A. geniculatas are one of my favorite species. As for your question, I start off in condiment cups then rehouse in 16 ounce deli containers, then on to the 'accessory box' from The Container Store, and finally ending at the 'men's shoe box' which is a little bit bigger than the regular shoe box also from The Container Store. They have a website as well as brick and mortar locations. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop now that I own tarantulas.

The last post was 7 months ago, so the genic in question is not likely a sling any longer as quickly as they grow
Your post is still obviously still valid to others reading this thread:smile:
I wonder if there's a container store in Milwaukee?

I'm pretty sure the website is thecontainerstore.com, but Google it just in case. Too much to type, but I'm telling you wait until you go on their website and see their prices. It's incredibly affordable, and I was turned on to the site by another member of arachnoboards. If you don't have a brick and mortar location near you, you can still order online, and with their prices, even paying for regular shipping is still cost effective.
My point was that you were replying to an old post...sorry I didn't meen to make you feel stupid, I can tell by your reaction I did..maybe be less stupid next time...peace bro ham.
