Message: <blockquote data-quote="AdamG" data-source="post: 189228" data-attributes="member: 34940">I personally prefer acrylic over glass due to weight/visibility and I've never found a glass enclosure that I was happy with specifically designed for tarantulas. I believe these use a more expensive type of non-warping acrylic too so that's a factor.I'm quite happy to pay more for the design customisations around ventilation and allowable substrate depth on these. I'm not one for retconning or refitting enclosures in DIY projects (I understand loads love this, no disrespect) so it's just nice to have something designed thoughtfully for purpose that I can knock together in 10 minutes and know it ticks all my boxes for recommended species husbandry.</blockquote>
