The Container Store

[mark e sic]

A few days ago I grabbed some of thes at the Container Store. Just wanted to share my findings.. if anybody wants a nice way to show off your T.s this store is the place to go! (exclude the 2.5 gal tank) they have from small dime size containers to Football size. these particular ones are called AMAC containers(or AMA.. something )

I used to use these containers and ended up not really liking them in the long run. I know a few peopel who still like them. My favorite from the container store were the gumball containers and the other cheap containers that were with them. They were all discontinued though. Your cages look great though, good luck with them.

I had those short square ones for my G. pulchripes slings and liked them quite a lot. They look nice!

I also used to use these types of containers. I like them for terrestrials, but not so much for arboreals as they always web the top, and make it difficult to open without ruining they're hard work. But as far as viewing is concerned, they look great. I love what you've done with them too, nice!

Thats why you have to put the lid on the bottom , glue a piece of wood into the top corner , now when you open it you wont have to destroy his home (aboreal set up)

oohhh...nice ! and for those of us near an IKEA store, they have containers also, for very little money. sweater size is under $5...its amazing.

I was thinking of doing that but didnt only becuase the fake leaf that i put in was allready webbed up from its previous container.. I hoped it would stay in the leaf and it did.. It doesnt venture to the top very often actually the only time it ever did was during that pic but only becuase i had just put it in. but if i was to do the whole lid on the top.. do you still use substrate?

I would only recommend this for Avicularia species minus A. diversipes.

Nice containers! I use them also!

I forgot Iridopelma. In my experience these genera are the only arboreals that always stay at the top of the enclosures. Other arboreals will make homes that you would destroy with an upside down enclosure.

ahh I see...most of my semi aboreal love the tops and middles usually but each specimen is not the same

Well my versi stays in its leaves all day.. and only comes to the top when i mist it (maybe to drink?)

heres a few of the ikea containers i uploaded from my camera. im going there to get mine. and maybe the container store too. theres one in bellevue.

this one has a flip top. lol


these have slots for separating sections, and are fairly well sized too. the little slides that go into the sections do not go all the way to the top of the container tho. was bummed about that.

 

[nikki9093]

ok, so i broke down and went to the container store out here. we have only one, and its in bellevue washington. lol. i did go a little crazy in there...heres what i got for under $25...

 

[mark e sic]

:biggrin:NICE

I love the container store but can never find containers like those you have the avics in. Great find.

 

[nikki9093]

i saw those there too...taller and thinner , without the big lid..i know that they have the online store, and you can order then to pick up at your local store. i LOVE this place. rows and rows of lil homes for baby Ts...lol..great prices also.
