[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 132892, member: 27677"] Wow! Expensive here, $235.00 AUD! Or I can get one on eBay for $134 plus $141 shipping, hmmn how many should I buy? They do look good though. As you say, extra ventilation could be added to the rear panel but then that's probably where you'd want a heat mat so that it's out of sight. Also it says the main access is the removable back which doesn't sound very practical except for setting up/pulling down. No matter what species you keep I think you will need to add ventilation or mould will be a problem sooner or later. Access through the top must be limited if there is a light built in too, unless it's the light that lifts out for access in which case it might be a too big of an opening. If you can reach the entire enclosure with tongs it might be workable. There's also the fact that neither opening panels are clear, if you can't spot the spider before opening there's the chance of escape if it happens to be on or next to an opening. All that said, I'm only looking at online adverts and haven't seen one in the flesh. Ventilation and access are two potential problems I can see but I'm sure if a row of these is what you want any problems can be overcome. A row of these would be an impressive sight that's for sure!
