For those of you on a tighter budget, check out Dollar Tree (in the US).

In their back to school section, they have mini plastic containers with locking lids. Each is $1. They are about 5in (L) x 3in (W) x 3in (H). Good for larger terrestrial slings and small juvies. Just drill some holes as needed.

They also have glass tea light candle holders. These are thick and heavy and can be used as water bowls. Difficult for Ts to flip over! 😅 They are about 2.5in in diameter and 1.75in tall. They come in a 4-pack for only $1.

Who doesn't wanna save some money, right? 🙃

40%-60% of all my T.'s are on Dollar Tree store enclosures. I'm glad people are being resourceful when it comes to budget as well. :D

Here in good old Blighty you can pick up 3 coir bricks for £1 in Poundland!

Honestly it doesn't matter if you spend so much or too little on their home as long as it works and great size for the spiders you're rehousing them into :) you can even find long plastic jars that works perfect for arboreals :)

Took the dremel to one of the extra containers I got to test out making some 2mm holes in the sides and lid. Came out okay. Can't wait to have spiders in these! 😅

Popped in to my local store today and saw they have a bunch of plastic succulents. Some are hard and sharp (no good), but several are soft and flimsy. Perfect for T enclosure decor.
