They need a really good clean, but I have just brought 3 enclosures via Gumtree. Two are 8 X 8 X12 inches & the third is 12 X 12 X 18 inches & the cost? £50, plus an hours round trip & a few £'s on petrol.

Two of the enclosures came with the fake rock foam backs.

Now to fill them. but what do I put in the larger of the three?

I agree- great find.. A huge Pokie female would look great in that big enclosure :)

She is normally found either on the ground or low down. But when she is up & on show, my wifes P tigrinaweselli, is a lovely looking T & a reasonable size, when out & visible. She also has a P metallica sling, but that is tiny.

Our tigrinawesselli are the same as your wife's - we've found they like to hide more than the other pokies... Why not get yourself a nice p. Ruffilata? Or regalis? All the pokies are gorgeous to be honest out of all of ours the regalis is probably the most visable it's always on the glass out and about :)

My wife lost her rufilata sling a few days ago. We are not sure what happened. One day it was fine, the next in a death curl.

Sorry to hear that :( - it's a real shame to lose slings especially ones that seem to be doing well

The rufilata had molted a few days earlier & looked to be fine.
