Hi,

Our latest terrarium with live plants. (45 x 45 x 60 cm = 17.7 x 17.7 x 23.6 in).
It was made for 3 specimens of Avicularia versicolor, but is still unoccupied till the plants grows up.



And 3 small terrariums (12 x 12 x 20 cm = 4.7 x 4.7 x 7.9 in) made for juveniles of A. versicolor:



Cheers,
Tom and Aga

Hello,

@Marce and epiphone: Thanks :D

@massmorels: I put the moss into deep and cold water and wait for about 24 hours till all "bugs" swim up to the surface :) Just after that I use it in my terrariums. I have never had any problems.

Cheers,
Tom

Small display "cubes" - purchased at an arts and crafts store such as Michael's.

Some have 100% peat moss substrate, some have 60/40 peat moss / vermaculite substrate (recommended), small piece of cork bark, and/or small flowerpot hide.




Becca i have a very big question...
You have buyd those plastic tanks,the simple ones or made it by yourself?
Here,in Romania,i cant find nothing,not even a good substrate! and i what to make some terrariums. I saw yours and i like them very much...
Explain me how you made the,from where you have buy that clear plastic...
They are very nice...

Hi!

You can make terrariums at home. You must buy some glass and a FBS glue. I made all of my terrariums at home.

I also have those "Display Cubes"
I've bought mine from a craft store, (specifically "Michaels")
They only come in small sizes.. 4x4" is the biggest I think.
