Thoughts on terrestrial enclosure

[Aracnoenthusiast]

Thoughts or criticism on my terrestrial enclosure? Any input is appreciated

That looks to be the same size as an Exo-Terra enclosure I have sitting empty at the moment. 30 X 30 X 30 & if mine looks that good when I need to use it, I will be very happy.

You have a lucky T.

I keep arboreals in those...not the best terrestrial enclosures.

Looks great!

I was going to use the Nano Tall 8x8x16 for my arboreals...

I use to use these for terrestrial Ts but gave up on it. The 12x12x12 exoterra enclosures become a huge pain in the butt. As you see in the photo you need to slope the dirt up so it's not too tall for a falling spider. The problem with this you can see substrate already coming out of the cross ventilation. In time the spider...especially most Tliltocatl, Brachypelma, Aphonopelma, and Grammostola are going to burrow and dig. Guess where all that substrate is going to end up???? Down hill against the doors. Huge mess and a pain in the butt. Also with the cross ventilation being at the substrate level I've had roaches/crickets escape.
For glass enclosures for my terrestrial Ts I use Zoo med creatures low profile enclosures. 10x8x20 with a fully ventilated top. Simple and perfect for all terrestrial spider.
