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...?

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.
