Yea, that would look a lot better than a bland enclosure. For me, since I plan on housing a couple, some might go in tubs, others who tend to stay out of their burrows more/arboreal species will be put into acrylic enclosures. Just need to figure out the sizes of the tubs for adults...
From what I've seen most species (like up to... just say, 6" leg span) don't need more than a 12qt tub or shoe box sized tub/critter keeper. For arboreals a 5gallon or maybe 10gallon tank flipped on its side would work.

From what I've learned from my research, they're kinda like bps in that sense. If you give them extra space they'll probably use it, but it doesn't hurt them if you don't give it to them. I'll probably do something similar. I wanna give my GBB a big cage with decorations to see her web it all up. But for the terrestrial species or non webbers ill probably keep them in tubs. Maybe if i have the room ill give them a display enclosure. Not sure yet.
