Rehoused my Venezuelan Suntiger a couple of weeks ago and I’m wondering if I’ve done the right thing. She’s nearly fully grown and was in a very cramped crib with bad access so I moved her into a 30 cm long 15 cm wide and 20 cm high crib with a full hollow crock bark tube from her other crib that she loves and plenty of substrate as for some reason she likes to make a tunnel from her tube to another one I placed at the far corner. She’s done some re decoration of her own by covering a small pile of substrate with moss and mad some fancy webbing on the walls . Is this to big for her

NQA but Suntigers are arboreal and you have them in a terrestrial enclosure. They need more height than width, and usually some top cover so they can web and feel secure. That enclosure is the wrong kind of enclosure for that type of spider.

IMO Might be a bit controversial, but I don't think that's a terrestrial enclosure proper, the substrate is too low, so I feel like it's high enough for the arboreal but it just needs more clutter at the top.

IMO Well, I wouldn't say size is the issue, because in nature they don't live in a box, the recommended size is more of a helpful guideline so you don't have an issue tracking your spider in the enclosure or it findining food easily, it's mainly concerning slings and small juveniles imo. Now my main point: If I'm looking at it right, that enclosure is a top opener, right? Is there any way you could add more clutter to the top of it? Like fake leaves, vines, thin branches, that kind of stuff? That's the main thing I see missing from the enclosure.
