    How big is the spider? The general rule of thumb is 2-3 times the legspan in length, 1-2 times the leg span in width, and no more than 1 1/2 times the legspan for the distance between the substrate and the top of the enclosure.

    So in other words, a spider with a 2" legspan would be fine in an enclosure that is 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. A 1" spiderling could be kept in a jar or a display cube that is approximately 3 inches accross, etc....

    Do you have a link for this caresheet you're looking at? Many of the invert caresheets posted on the web are wrong.

    Could you please NOT use all capitals, and more importantly try using only one or two smilies? It makes reading your posts very straining.
