Avic enclosure
Well after that tank I almost don't want to post mine. WELL DONE Cerbera!!!! :clap: Well here is my 1.25" A. Avicularia tank. Made it from a cotton ball container I found at BedBath&Beyond. (Who says shopping with your girlfriend is a bad thing; I found this great new tank for my T's);P

Started out with bog standard aquariums, and then went a bit nuts with the plexi, building various panels and sliding bits. Lots of drilling. Did take quite a long time, and if you'd seen the amount of cock-ups I made along the way, you'd know there was nothing 'pro' about it !syndicate said:those tanks are nice cereba.u built them yourself?they look pro
thanks for the comments tho...

got these 1 gallon rubbermaid jars at walmart. still need to put in the potting soil. it's temporary housing for two mature male a. avics coming to woo my girl, so i'm refraining from hot-gluing the sticks or water dishes (because it will only make it harder to catch them).
great thing is that i can use it in the future for raising more arboreals. i still prefer putting my "keepers" in glass aquariums.

very nice! i dont use substrate in my avic's enclosure... just large water dishes on the bottom for humidity... its not like they ever use the substrate and it could lead to mites plus the crickets like to burrow in it... just a thought... later

My newest project terrarium for the subterrain tarantulas.
From the side it looks quite typical - 35x25cm
From the above 10 x 25.
After removing the cover:
And the hole of the inhabitant
Now the whole strange thing about this enclosure. The terra is C shaped. There is a top and bottom chamber. The bottom chamber has a removable glass lid. One can manipulate and do what ever wanted inside the spider chamber (for ex. one can take the cocoon form the female - just like that.
And the resident of the enclosure after the lid removed - female Ornithoctonus aureotibialis
The terrarium can come in different sizes - this one is for smaller species.

It's all glued glass - aquarium silicone to be exact. Only the lids are loose - I'm trying to think of some kind of lock.
The burrow is semi spider made
I made the begining of the tunnel using the water system pipe The rest, including the underground chamber is purely spidermade . At the moment the terrariums are in the dark room for spiders to accomodate to the new enclosures. When I will move them to the dedicated place I surely will make a shade or something similar.
