Just finished

Just finished a new pokie cage. Wanted to show off the nice conversion lids I got from jungle box. Great stuff and coco fiber BG.

Very nice....looks great...ive used about 60 of those conversion kits from junglebox for my pums...

Be careful with that no-see-um top vent panel, its amazing at keeping FF's inside but a curious spider would be able to easily tear thru it

Have you ever had any problems with the vent with spiders? I was impressed, shipping took a while so he hooked me up with some free stuff. Will order some more for sure.

I havnt used them for spiders because Ive been worried about them chewing thru...ive seen big ones chew holes in alum screen...i thought about replacing the screen with acrylic with holes drilled in it tho...

Seeing yours done up like that looks 100 precent better than acrylic vert kits...

I was doing my own out of acrylic and ended up having some hinges pop off of a fat tail enclosure. So I started getting paranoid about the ones on my pokie cages. I was having problems with it warping a bit anyways. I hate cutting that crap, so much goes into making these things sometimes it's easier just to buy it.

I always get a new pokie for fathers day so I am making an extra one just in case. Hehe. My wife is awesome.



Good to go. Glue gun, moss, coffee, smokes. Heh.

Those are really nice. I like enclosures that open wide like that so you can get your hands in easily when you need to.

Nice.

 

[grayzone]

haha.. smokes make the enclosures look better honestly lol..
I know when i do them, i will rush through them... but i find that if i can do it while smoking, i take more time on them and everythin works out.
Those look real nice Btw.. makes me wanna make some new ones

Nice! I want to make a real nice enclosure for my versicolor when it's full grown. I think that's going to be the only T ill go all out for, though. haha I don't know, we'll see.

Put a Fasciata in the 2nd one I made. It was fun rehousing her... She is crazy.


They look pretty good side by side. Got them all ghetto rigged with tape until I have time to cut some acrylic to go over the screen.

 

[jarmst4]

Got another conversion lid, just finished a new one up.

 

[jarmst4]

Also did an exo terra split for my last 2 burrowers.





Made the rocks with pink foam and some grout. Detailed them with my dremel tool.

Very nice, those enclosures look like home to me.

 

[MarkmD]

Thay are very nice enclosure designs. I was tinking something along thay lines when my Avic becomes a juvie or sub adult.

Where would I got too purchase the conversion kits you guys are talking about in this thread?? These tanks look amazing I'd love to do the same to my 5 gallon tanks I have laying around!!

 

[jarmst4]

It says where they were bought.

Can you use that foam for humid environments? is that how you used the coco background in your cages?? just foam and added silicone or something on top and then add the coco fiber? can anyone make this any more clear please i'm a little lost :/ i want to use this for my singapore blue tarantula which i will need to rehouse in a few months and was wondering if this foam is okay with humidity?

 

[jarmst4]

The great stuff is fine in humidity. I use titebond III wood glue, not silicone for the eco earth. Silicone always leaves too many bald spots. You have to get # 3, it's the one that is water proof. You can get it at home depot. This is what the dart frog guys use and those enclosures are sopping wet. It will hold up forever. Just make sure you cut a piece of foam to fit in the aquarium. Then put the great stuff on top. It will not stick to the glass by itself.

Looks fancy.

Just got 15 slings rehoused. What a pain. Just got a case of new amac boxes. I love those for slings.
