Hi Spidey people - just wondering what the most common viv/tank/tub, is for adult terrestrial/burrowing spiders? Would it be a faunarium? I like Chaco Golden Knees, Grammastola Sp: 'Northern Gold', and Giant White knees. Whats the adult size of these and what would I need to house an adult? (size-wise?) thanks, Ben

A flat faunarium would be fine for a terrestrial. For a burrower I'd get a normal sized faunarium so it had plenty of room to burrow.

How big do these spiders get, and are they okay for a noob?!?

Which of these burrow, and which are terrestrial?

[Poxicator]

Chaco Golden Knees, 6" or larger
Grammastola Sp: 'Northern Gold', 6"
and Giant White knees 8-9"

All fine for beginners although the White Knee can be fast and a little aggressive, but nothing to worry about.
All will make good display Ts, especially the White Knee although the Chaco is more likely to burrow than the others. You should provide enough substrate for them to do so or a good hide, but I'd guess all three of these will be very visible.

When they are adults, what would they need to be kept in?


What is a pink zebra like?

I suggest you read the stickies as these questions have repeatedly been answered.
As a general rule, an enclosure 3 times the legspan is suitable for most species.
I usually start off with film pots, move up to ASDA pots, into Tesco pet pals & IKEA tubs for arboreals, followed by faunariums, glass tanks or Exo's for my main displays.
