Petco seems to be running their half off tank sale in the Southeast

[Jenniferinfl]

Hi, I know the Petco sale is more regional now, but, it looks like they are doing their half off tank sale now through end of July.

The prices are already updated online for my area and in my area you can order for pickup.

I know most people are using more tarantula specific enclosures, but, I still like a glass tank for terrestrials, so thought I'd share.

Perfect. Thank you. I use them to build my terrariums for tree spiders (arboreal) as well.

Better than $1 per gallon sale they usually run where 10G tanks are excluded... I snagged a new 10G for $10
Thanks @Jenniferinfl

Show us one of those, please

I am building one right now. I am taking pictures and will post them here in a few days! 10 or 20 gal are perfect to use.

Here the first picture. It is a 10 gal. aquarium. I use screen, glass, silicone and a u-profile. I do cut the glass I need, but you can get that done at the store as well.

Those are interesting, but, at that point might as well just buy an exo-terra or zilla when they're on sale. I feel like the easiest way to do this is to silicone in a glass substrate barrier and then either make a sliding door using some kind of plastic angled trim, or use hinges. Unfortunately, the problem is whether or not you can actually source the glass. I hear about everybody getting glass cut to size for sub $8 and I'm here in Central Florida getting quotes of $54 for a piece to fit a 10 gallon aquarium.

The stuff at Lowes/Home Depot is just a smidge too lightweight. 4 mm would be better. Even bulk ordering glass, I'm still getting quotes over $35 for a small piece of glass. I envy anybody who has access to affordable glass.

The door and screen are on. I wait a day before I cut off any silicone from the side of the hinges.

And here is the final product . Too bad I ran out of soil…
The thin glass is thick enough for any spider. I bought 4 more, so some more of our residents can move!

My P. cambridgei #3 is moving in!

 

[menavodi]

She moved in.

 

[menavodi]

She is waiting for more food!

I finished another one. A C. versicolor moved in. Here some pictures. Easy to stack too if you want to go that high.
