    Cage opinions? X. Immanis
    So, getting a 1" Xenesthis Immanis in two weeks, getting the enclosure ready to fumble with before it comes home.

    Basically I took a large plastic faunarium and filled it up with lots of clutter, because I want to have to move it as little as possible given their jumpiness.

    Here is a picture of the enclosure, just imagine it with substrate about halfway up the mouth of the pot, kind of built up so that the inside of the pot will make a little burrow lower than the level of the substrate. To give you an idea, the pot's diameter is about 4". Is this alright, or should I put it in a smaller faunarium/"critter keeper" that I have? Sorry about the newbie question, and any advice is much appreciated. My main concern would be losing crickets among the fake plants, but I hear these guys are great eaters so maybe the cricket won't make it that far...?

    For a 1" T personally the biggest size KK I would put it in is a mini KK with a water bottle cap as a means to drink from.

    This is a 1.5" X. immanis in a mini KK and it had plenty of room. Sorry I don't have a pic of the whole thing to give you a better example.

    Thanks for the advice, the more I think about it the more a smaller enclosure makes sense. I think I'll go pick up a mini tomorrow, I always keep overestimated the size of the spider if I don't have a ruler on me haha.
