I purchased a plastic/acrylic enclosure from HerpCult that I think will help me provide more security and consistant care to my two juvenile tarantulas. (And likely more). They are about 1.25 to 1.5"
The enclosure is 18.5" long by 12.5" wide and 11" high. The acrylic door opens from the front, is lockable and has air holes on both sides. The top has more air holes and a small screened opening. No air holes on the sides.
As well as providing safety from the family cat, the enclosure should make it easier to control temperature, especially in the winter.
I think it may have been designed for semi aquatic animals as there is a stoppered hole on the far right(covered up in the pictures) and has a ramp and raised area to the left.
The enclosure is light but feels sturdy, although I think I would have liked it with a little bit thicker plastic.
I paid $60, but feel it was well worth it. Certainly less stress and worry. Plus room to add tarantulas. The individual enclosures in there are 5x5x5 and 6x4x4.
Anyone have any thoughts of potential issues/problems?
