Lid for 10 gallon aquarium?

[curiousme]

Here is what one of our doors looks like. It is for an arboreal though, we just didn't divide it and added a handle for our terrestrial.

Still looking for the tutorial...... and I can't find the one I am thinking of for some reason(perhaps I have upset the search function today:?) but here is a thread where I explain how to cut plexi-glass. If you have a drill, I believe Mr. Gone used a spade bit, but he isn't here to ask! The soldering iron is pretty self-explanatory. And just remember to make the holes smaller than the Ts cephalothorax.


(if you happen to try making those enclosures, use screws also, or instead of hot glue. We got a gloss finish spray paint and the hot glue didn't stick well, so we added screws after a couple of months when it became evident that the glue was going to fail. The first set of these we made, we used a different spray paint that was not gloss, but a matte base coat and they have not shown any signs of failing in close to 2 years now; however I don't remember exactly what kind of spray paint to recommend. They have had multiple occupants in that period of time as well, so they have been super useful.)

Thanks for the replies! I may end up doing what Vitaliy suggested and buy a 5 gallon tank from petco and order a lid from him. I only have the one spider (for now) but I have a sneaking suspicion that I may get another one later. I still think I might get the lid for the 10 gallon tank and put something on the bottom of it to take up some space until she gets bigger. Then again, maybe I will buy a home from Vitaliy? I really just can't wait to see the lid for the 10 gallon tank. I liked the way he described what was on it, as it would be the way I would make one myself if I had experience.

I will never understand why the 5.5 gallon tanks are more expensive. Is a 5.5 gallon actually big enough for a full grown redknee? Mine is only 1.25" atm, but if I spend money on one and a lid, I want it to last me
