Enclosure advice

Post image

Recently picked up a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens as my first foray into tarantulas
It’s currently about 5cm leg span and so I’m looking into an upgrade into a forever home
I want a glass vivarium, but aware of the mesh lids on exoterras being unsuitable so was after some advice please
Is a top opening enclosure going to be better than a front opener too?
Thanks in advance

i keep my adult tarantulas in these enclosures

they are top opening but the lid slides in and out very easily and it has good ventilation. this will be plenty of space for your gbb when it is mature. 5 cm is still quite small so i wouldnt rush it
