My enclosure

This is a 120 gallon aquarium with 40 gallons of water and an upside down 55 gallon aquarium to add height for plants. The tank was originally intended for plants, fish and amphibians, then I added my giant diving beetle, now various large spiders from my basement have made the 85 degree humid enclosure their home and nesting sight, some within inches of the 250 watt heat bulb.

I cant seem to get the pic to work heres a link

Antique (late 1800's) 5 gal. aquarium with gothic decor and G. Rosea. 80/20 vermiculite/peat. She has since dug out a nice webby nest behind the pot and never leaves .. .. pet rock indeed.

OMG THAT ROCKS!!! if i didn't have over 20 T's, i'd make a cage like that for every single one of them. :clap:

Here is the vial I used for my Versi before he had a really bad molt:

Just used peat for the sub, and cut apart some reptivine and hotglued them how I wanted. The top (not shown) I cut a square out, and hot glued mesh cut from a silent practice drum head.

Avicularia avicularia... Sterilite box on its side with holes melted on sides and top... a bit of peat moss, to water containers for humidity and a log I got at the river... and coconut shell on the side hoping it will web there...

hey bananaman,can i have details of how you did the enclosure?like the door, etc etc...

I cut the cover at one third with a pair of strong scissors (first mark the straight line)... so the bottom part (the 1/3) i glued to the sterilite box... that is the one that goes on the bottom, using hot glue i sealed it, and prevent water, dirt or whatever from escaping...

Then the top part i temporarily used tape, to hang it from the top...but then I used hot glue and put some velcro on it...and some on the top of the box (the top is actually the side, but im assuming you are looking at it standing on its side)... so to open the enclosure you flip open the top 2/3 of the cover...

I took an ice pick, heated it with fire from the stove, and melted holes on the top and the sides of the enclosure (not the front)...

I also removed the coconut hide, didnt like it...i put some plastic plants in there, looks much nicer...

Thats it... I hope i made myself clear

Cost:
Sterilite container: 3 dlls
Log: Free
Fake plants: 1 dollar
Hot glue: Practically free
Velcro: 2 dlls

Total: 6dlls
Cheapest avic enclosure ever! And it looks quite nice... just be sure to melt the holes evenly...follow a pattern...

Later!
