    thanks for the replies guys n gals! I'm already gathering ideas for my next build, most likely an arboreal enclosure :-) the grout most certainly would work for any species of tarantula in my opinion.

    My first sling enclosures

    each arboreal enclosure is made of two acrylic craft boxes purchased from Michaels. I cut a large hole in each of the lids with a soldering iron w/ a blade attachment. The lids were glued together to form a coupling for the two boxes. Add a little substrate, cork bark and decor. Hope this...
