Spiderling enclosure question

[Stephanie]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a terrestrial spiderling habitat for cheap. I have a 1 year old B.Smithi, shes almost as big as a silver dollar (including legspan) and right now shes cramped up in her little bowl. I found a place to buy them for like 7.00 but the guy wants 15.00 and up just for shipping and I find that a little... meh..... any suggestions on what I could use? And if possible could you post pics of some good habitat ideas for a B.Smithi of this size? Thanks

I have been using totes for my T's. I just burn airholes in them by heating up a paperclip. I would look in the tuberware and tote sections in local stores. You can usual find something pretty custom to what you are looking for.

I use plastic critter keepers. They are cheap and work well for juvi Ts.

Check a craft store for acrylic doll boxes.. Make sure you don't get a tall one get one more suitable for a terrestrial. I use 32oz delis for my slings that size.. so also check your local butcher shop/deli.. I get mine 4 for $1.00
