Found the cutest little arboreal enclosure!

This is actually a candle holder I've seen many times at the dollar store and I've always thought it would make an awsome arboreal sling enclosure. However, it seemed a little too hard to get into and it was made of glass which would be difficult to add vent holes. I saw it again today and looked closer and saw that the top comes off rather easily and the glass inserts slide out..awsome! I can replace them with plex (which I can get free from work). There's a coulple spots I'd have to block and close up to prevent escapes, but that will be an easy fix. It measures about 4.5" x 6" of live space. I only bought this one to try. It was only $6. Worth a shot. Can't wait til my versi slings are a little bigger! I'll get working on it and post some more pics.

Thanks! That's what I thought too. I may only swap out a couple sections of the glass for plex. I prefer glass for holding and distributing heat better.

Careful that they dont crawl down the corners where the glass meets! The view is a little of obstructed for my taste but innovative for sure.

Like I said...I have a few places I have to block up...that was one of them...lol. That was the first thing I noticed.
