tinnie tiny mini exo's for slings

[ch4dg]

hey everyone,

i dont know how most of you do it but i get really fed up with the containers for my aboreal slings as the slings just make webs going from the sides to the lids so everytime i go to feed or water them i have to really disturb them

these are the types of pots i use with pop off lids

and as you can see this one's at the top

and so is this one

and this one

and one opened...which leave a disturbed T

so i created these....

and now they open with no mess with the spider

this was just a test piece to see if they work, but i will defo be making more
the battery is a standard AA just to give you an idea of the size
all the black has substrate in a mixture of moss and eco-earth
i even done a little background :biggrin:

I use these. Same principle. Spider webs in the top, I can lift the top off and set it to the side to feed, water, clean, etc.

I need to start making my own enclosures! Every penny I spend on enclosures could go towards another tarantula! :biggrin:

If you make a lot, I'll buy some from you.

Those are amazing and very appealing to the eye!

I don't get it. :?

So the habitable part of this enclosure is everything from the center up?
Have you ever actually put a spider in there to see how it behaves?

I'm pretty sure anything you put in there is just going to web everything up anyway, and it won't really fix the problem you describe.

i've edited the original post with pics of examples of the prob,
but they're very simular the the aboreal vivs for larger t's like the one's formerphobe posted.

aboreals more than likely make their webs in the top corners (as you'd expect),so if you use pots/tubs with screw lids or pop off tops you keep disturbing them and/or destroy they're webs so having it open at the bottom means i can still open it water the soil pop a cricket in and leave their webs alone....hope that makes sense

thanks agian everyone:biggrin:

Put me down for a few of these, if you make some. With my crappy crippled hand, I have a lot of trouble making my own cages, now.

Hey, those are pretty cute. Did something come in those little containers? Formerphobe's look awesome as well!

oh! duh! These are only made in the UK! I have tried websites, but they have minimum orders, out of stock, or shipping is too expensive. Plus its in the UK.
