Does anyone know anything about the nano exo terra wide enclosure?

[new2tarantulas]

Just bought this on amazon for $30 for my chilean rose hair! It measures 8" square! Was wondering if anyone has used it and if they liked it!

good enclosures for small dry species. But at 8x8 it's not large enough for most adults

 

[new2tarantulas]

so it wouldnt b good for an adult rose hair? She is so inactive I thought it would be ok?

 

[Nada]

8x8 is a bit small for a 5-6" rose. I keep all my Adult in 12x12 or larger.

it is like 3-4" I just know the web said to keep them in sml enclosures so they can find food! but when it out grows it ill just use it for something else lol

Gives you an excuse to get another T...

Yea hahaha! Iam trying to find a store that can order one for me round here! I named my cilean rose Shelob off of lord of the rings lol But iam sure a store will charge me an arm and a leg lol! Iam looking for a species that is more colorful, inexpensive and still easy to care for! Also something slow moving (fast movments scare me lol)! Any suggestions?

Another thing about those enclosures is because they have a door on the side, you can't really put enough subtrate in for a terrestrial t. Something to think about.

Yes I thought of that! I have read that chilean rose tarantulas rarely burrow in captivity??? I know mine hasnt shown any signs of doing so!

It's not just about burrowing, It's to give them padding if they fall. They're very fragile, and can easily die if they fall

O i c dummy me lol! Well the top opens as well so maybe I could just never use the door on the front lol!

 

[Tgirl1010]

That is true. I once recieved a Haplopelma in one. The subtrate was almost all the way to the top of the enclosure, so it worked, but I couldn't open the door. A waste of a very nice enclosure in my opinion. You could just get another t better suited for the Exo Terra and put the G rosea in a large kritter keeper or 10g aquarium Any excuse to get another t is a good excuse.

 

[new2tarantulas]

LOL that is true! Any advice on what species woul[d do well in this and still be easy to care for?
