Arboreal Enclosure Idea! (Picture Heavy!)

[Redneck]

Alrighty... If you are anything like me.. You hate messing with those enclosures that are top loading.. I hate them! So.. I had these laying around & did some cheap modification to keep the substrate in..

I mostly hate dealing with the top loading enclosures with OW tarantulas or the not so nice NW tarantulas.. SO.. This makes me happy.. These are going to be for my P. ornata, P. formosa, & P. irminia slings...

Its nothing special at all.. The plastic is leftover plastic I got from cutting a hole in a plastic tub lid to put screen for some vent.. I use hot glue to hold it in place.. Then to keep the lid closed I am using a rubber band..

*Note* I know I misted the enclosures to much.. But it will dry out in no time..

Here are some pictures..

Like I said.. Its nothing special.. Just something I thought of & threw together.. I prefer front load enclosures.. So.. This will work for me!

YOU STOLE MY IDEA:}

I was thinking the exact same thing, except mine is a little narrower than what you have.

im not sure i trust elastic bands that much they tend to just snap at some point. I wouldn't trust it to hold any OW like that. You might want to find something else to keep it closed I think.

Well.. Since I do use rubber bands on almost every enclosure I have.. I believe I can tell when one needs to be replaced.. Also.. Since they are only there for a little extra safty.. I dont think I will need to replace them for a while.. The container I am using does snap closed.. I just want the added comfort of keeping it closed..

Yeah! My duck tape.. LoL! Whats wrong with duck tape?

On a side note... I will not replace a sling if your rubber band breaks! ;P

I thought that was the point here.... After all it's no fun unless we're able to chase escapees every once in awhile ...........
