Anyone Have these enclosures?

[Mattyb]

Just bought this enclosure because i want to purchase my first pokie. Does anyone have any of these? If so how well do they work? Dimensions are 8"w 8"d and 16"h.

I paid $45 shipped. I love the tanks that tarantulacages.com makes but that are too rich for my blood. $45 seemed like a nice price.

 

[Arachnoholic420]

I here you on that one!!!!!
Say what $45.00!!!
That's not bad at all....

The only thing i would like to know.
What is the thickness of the plexi glass?

I just don't like that the top on those is a full screen. You won't be able to hold humidity as well in it. I think it is the same price as the tarantulahomes medium one with close to those dimensions.

They don't tell the thickness.

The large aboreal cage from Taratulacages.com with the same dimensions is $65 which isn't bad but then you have to tack on shipping. Though i'm sure the cages from tarantulacages.com are better quality.

Easy solution tape it from the inside...
Until you get the proper ventilation you like....
So that it would hold humidity.....

They don't tell the thickness.

It just looks a little thin....

I'll let you know how thick it is when i get mine in the mail.

What kind of pokie are you thinking of getting?

 

[Mattyb]

Just a couple of things that ran through my mind:

will it yellow over time
will it haze over time

wish the door were larger
Cheaper to get a local 10 gallon tank and make a door yourself???

Cheaper to make them yourself out of acrylic if your handy.

If it were say $25.00 a piece, then I would buy some myself.

Let us know the quality of these when you get them.

I would make them myself but i don't much the time. 6 day work weeks suck. I'll let you know the quality when i get it. I should get it either tomorrow or monday.

I would need about 50 of them in various models. But.........I would be so broke...............at the end.

Well i'm just getting into aboreals (after 8 years in the hobby) other than a.avic. So I can buy these as i go. Its hard to find a nice cheap cage these days. I'm getting tired of buying 10gal. at the pet store. They are heavy and take up too much room.

If you like it, that's all that matters! Now go get yourself a nice pokie

I'm searching the classifieds right now lol.


I just bought a juvi P.regalis and a juvi G.pulchra from Paul Becker!

 

[Mattyb]

I got the enclosure today just in time (getting a 3" P.regalis frm Paul Becker tomorrow) and the enclosure is 1/8" thick, it seems to be pretty good quality. I'll let ya'll know how it holds up.
