Lasiodora parahybana

I have a juvenile l.parahybana, about 3.5". Would it be ok if i put it into a 24" tank because i keep upgrading its tank and its really expensive. The thing does,nt stop growing.

[Jamie]

It will grow to around 10" so be prepared for that!

I would say 24" would be ok tho provided the depth of the tank was good as well.

[herpzane]

yh i know. cant wait. this is why i was going to put it straight into a 24". so in your oppinion do you think it would be ok.

My smaller Para is 3 1/2" and is in a 18"x12"x8" faunarium and seems to do fine, and will stay in there forever now. I would've thought it would be fine in a 24" one

[herpzane]

ok. thanks alot i will have a spare one as i am selling one of my leos.

itl get lost in all that space at that suize!
just stick it in an icecream tub or something til its atleast twice that beofreputting it in such a big tank.
i keep my Theraphosa sp. (goliaths) in 18inch cubed tnkas at adult. plenty of room for growth still. theres more problems than benefits in putting the spider in such a big tank when so small

Was gona say! The spider won't know where it is! Lol It's best in a smaller one for the time being.
