Enclosure/Terrarium Pictures

[JaxsWastedLife]

I had one hell of a time getting my little devil form the deli container to the enclosure. She really didn't want to leave the paper towels.

Nice inexpensive enclosure

I found this on at Wal*Mart for around $6. They also have octagonal ones for a few dollars more. I drilled some holes and instant enclosure. Another plus is there is fish food included that you can feed to the crickets. I like the shape and the included light keeps the enclosure warm. My suntiger is in there now making trouble for anything that goes into that enclosure.

I can't find the Walmart.com link for the one I own but this one looks good too. (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3635106) Great for a DIYer!

I like the way this looks over critter keepers. The KK are so 2nd grade hermit crab.

Arboreal Cage

I finally got the gooty's into something they can finish growing in. These are 7 inches square by 2 feet tall. Drawers come out while the hide provides safe distance and little chance of escape while cleaning water/substrate. This will also come in handy when it comes time to clean without disturbing a mother with sac. Cork bark is mounted in corner with cable ties through 2 holes and top opens to access the spider if need be(hopefully to take a sac some day). Now if I can just get a female or two from this bunch???? 19 more cages and I will be done with the ornamentals. This design can be enlarged to fit any arboreal that stays on the glass. Burrowers would be difficult to deal with. Dave

wow those are awesome looking set ups! did you make those from scratch? i'm gonna start looking into making something like that for my ornata when its larger. definetly would feel safer with a set up like that than just having it loose in an aquarium that i have to open the whole top up to reach to the bottom to clean. :clap: :worship: :clap:

now i just need some metallicas

Very cool idea David

Any chance you could make some close up pictures of one of those enclosures. I wouldnt mind duplicating the idea because of the bottom of the enclosure. I would really appreciate it if I somehow could take a close look at it - it looks very handy.

I just bought this caging unit yesterday. The unit houses 4 individual T's seperatly. I set these up but won't be putting anything in it for a day or so so the glue and all can dry. The enclosure will house a

The T's that will be moved into these cages are
1. P. irminia

2. P. regalis (picking this one up next week)

3. A. avicularia

4 A. versicolor


No Tarantuals have been put into these cages....so if anyone see's anything that needs to be changed or added (other then the water dishes) please PM me or email me at peaches1926us@yahoo.com so that I can make the nessasary changes before rehousing the T's

Hey Amber....that's a very nice set up for arboreals. Did you buy the unit fully made?

 

[Ms. Peaches]

Yes I purchased this the way it is..well other then decorations. They sell them at www.eastbayvivarium.com. The cost is about 77.00. I am not too handy with building things myself and I wanted a nice display so it was worth it to me.

Thanks! I really must head over to Berkeley sometime and check out EBV.

Close ups

Thanks for the compliments. Here are some side shots of the top and bottom for those who are into building. I am going to make these to order for 60 $ plus shipping if anyone is interested. I am not going to have any extras laying around, but will make them as people request them. The only thing mine don't have are ventilation holes. That can be requested depending on the humidity/airflow desired. The edges of the acrylic can be flame polished for about 10 bucks extra per cage also if you really want to kick it off. dave

This is how I keep my Haplopelma species from juveniles up until they need the final enclosure.
These jars are excellent, got them yesterday at an expo here in sweden.

Only four of them are used but this week most of them will come in handy

Cheers!

[redknee_freak]

me? um... i had them made, the enclosures cost me $23 dlls + $8 for the plexiglass to make the covers plus like $4 for the metal hinges...
Of course I had to use power tools to cut and drill the plexiglass plus cement to glue the hinges to the crystal and the plexiglass...
