I recently read up about a "lund cage" in the Tarantula keepers guide and thought it would be a great idea for some of my Pet hole slings that I have.
Now cages are expensive here in SA, and after looking at RobC's enclosures and Adams at TC.com I really wanted some of those. Of course I couldn't get them as shipping to SA is stupid, So I had to make do with what I had, or make my own out of acrylic if I wanted them. (So I have tried my best to make them look the same, and "borrowed" many ideas from them)
Its taken a while and a lot of learning new things. But I finally completed my first lund cage tonight. Its no where near as good as my other cages and I messed up with the solvent where I had certain pieces laser cut (Which I now also know, cant be used directly with solvent due to crazing, but thats for the next one I try)
But I would like to know what you all think, and if it will work?
Finished cage with its sheath (used to make the sides dark all the time so the T will burrow all around):
Enclosure with substrate in:
An idea of how it looks from the bottom, showing how you "SHOULD" be able to see all around inside:
