    This is (fortunately) why there’s a maximum size on insects. The environment is less oxygen rich today than in the eras of giant insects in the past. They reach a size where oxygen can’t penetrate deeply enough onto their bodies.

      maybe once I have money for hobbies, but I really want to make oxygen rich terrariums, and selectively breed tarantulas to see if I can make them larger.

          Keep in mind it will be inherently escape proof.

          if I manage to make meter wide spiders, they would suffocate as soon as they leave the enclosure.

              although If they get big enough, I could have oxygen breathers I could attach to their tracheas.
