Message: <blockquote data-quote="Poec54" data-source="post: 42610" data-attributes="member: 3524">Looks nice, but 32 oz deli cups are much easier to work with arboreal slings in (and I have 34 species of arboreals).  When that one's opened up (above) there's only half the cage left, and a fast,high strung arboreal can be over the side and out in the blink of an eye.  Or up the branch and easily jump to freedom.  I'd have escapes on a regular basis.  It's much better for a cage to have high sides, so the spider is more contained. Nice artsy design, but not practical for most arboreals.  They're just too fast and wired.  It would work for Avics if the branch is attached to the top half, not the bottom (otherwise you'd tear up the Avics silk every time you took the top off.</blockquote>
