Damon sp. housing?

I'm wondering what acceptable minimal requirements for container dimensions are for a Damon sp. adult... you guys seem pretty good at keeping big bugs in small containers.  Very Happy

If you only have 1 you could get away w/ a small K.Keeper but stack alot of hides I used sandstone/ flagstone that was about 1/4" thin and stacked them and they used all of it. even had babies once. but if your gonna house more then 1 use a bigger size sometimes they will fight and kill each other if its too crowded....W

Hello ALl,
Pulk vertical space is more important than ground space.
They love hiding in non lightthed areas, they hate bright light.
They like humidity and temps in the 80s

Small KK set up as you will set up an arboreal spider.
regards.

make sure you cover some of the ventilation to increase the humidity.

Yeah, I'm wondering for individual housing. What dimensions is a "small" KK in inches? Would it be better/necessary to keep it on its end?

Thanks.

I've got three right now living communal. I found this:


which I know is a spermatophore. Anyway of knowing if has been used already? I'm not sure on sexing these, but comparing the end of the abdomens, I'm guessing I have two males and one female.
