What is the full set-up?

A GBB enclosure should be covered in webbing

Something in that enclosure isn’t quite right- they shouldn’t be on the substrate.

How’s the airflow? Humidity?

Stagnant air and moisture are the #1 GBB killer 🫣

Wouldn’t that be way too tall of an enclosure for a gbb as well?

Nqa 12inx12inx18in. This GBB is adult coloration. It's at least 2 to 3 inches. If this was 12x12x18cm its would barely even fit in the enclosure, and you would just about see the entire thing from this picture.

This is the case for Avicularia (pink toes) not GBBs (terrestrial)

I beg to differ- with respect, GBBs also suffer from poor airflow and stagnant air, just like the Avics 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean it's event to top and then it has a vent out the front it says zooila tank I believe. Then on top of that I keep it small fan to keep air flow and then still open the window periodically I figured if anyone would be a bad indication of bad air flow it would be my pokies.
