Hi all.

I have decided that I am going to obtain some T's (I was forced to sell my previous collection due to moving).

I am going to be very selectiive in the spiders that I choose, they will be display spiders that i REALLY like. Including a couple of pokies, a singapore blue and an avic versi.

I am looking around for housing ideas for arboreals (Avics and Pokies) and some burrowing species too.

I have previously used exo terras but dont want to fork out £30+ per spider for housing.

I have also used plastic cereal dipensers but the ones i used werent COMPLETELY transparent, almost a lightly frosted white plastic.

Do any of you have any other ideas or suggestions of tubs etc to use?

Many Thanks

Gary

Hi, Hope this helps.
I had a nasty habit of going through window company/fitters skips for bits of glass, veritable treasure troves to me Laughing
I made these from 4mm glass all you need is a glass cutter the rest is basic maths.
They lend themselves perfectly for arboreals, burrowers and burrowers with a elevated tube web:







I was keeping Hystocrates hercules in this, they look fairly rough in the photos but are about ten years old in the shots Smile
