Enclosure size recommendations:
A flat Tupperware like enclosure, about 2in tall, and 3 to 4 inches wide for babies.
If you need one, just ask it in the notes and I will include one for free during shipping.
After several months, they can be rehoused into a slightly larger tupperware container. Add a few holes across for cross ventilation.

The GBB is a staple in the hobby.
It’s a must have, and one of the most recognized tarantulas.
Its relatively calm and docile behavior make them a very popular beginner species.
Although on the docile side, this species still can kick urticating hairs when threatened.

Occasional misting inside the enclosure is recommended.
