[Inquiry] Tarantula Cribs

[maddog1219]

Has anyone here bought form tarantula cribs before?

Is it worth the high price point?

I got them as gifts, but I have two of the large terrestrial ones. They're fine. Decent display enclosures. I wouldn't have bought it myself. I don't love the slider lids. They both have slightly warped, which makes putting them back in more rough than it should be. I have super docile Ts in them, so not a big deal, but anything with any spiciness might be a problem. The pullout seems backwards to me also, so the logo is on the back of mine. Maybe that's just me...

Clicked on this thread with high expectations and a thoroughly different definition of "crib" in mind; Left this thread with a multi-million dollar idea for a National Geographic: MTV channel and show, and a healthy dose of "I am clearly not cool enough to buy this stuff"

In my opinion, if you're going to spend $70+ on an enclosure, get one with material that doesn't warp, and I've yet to see or experience an acrylic enclosure that doesn't warp to some extent. In that case, get the cheaper one for $50 less and add your own ventilation if necessary.

I received two sling enclosures but haven’t used them yet. Clarity looks nice compared to some others.

Acrylic is my primary for juvinile+ mostly for weight reduction on shelves and haven’t had any issues with warping over the past two years; I have 24, some used and some unused. I don’t have extreme temperature changes, so that helps.

My opinion is not worth it I bought crapelles on Amazon glass with plastic sliding lid for my pink toe works great and btw bought there mini for my jumping spider and yes it lid is warped not worth the price don't let them sponsored YouTubers waste your money

Here are some pictures

So I haven’t used them, for the sheer fact that there’s no reason to pay that much for what they are. To me, not worth the price point.

There are so many cheaper options, this hobby doesn’t have to be as expensive as .com companies want you to believe.
