About this Habitat

  • Capacity: 576 cubic inches, about 2.5 US gallons
  • Material: 5 mm clear acrylic
  • Lid: ventilated locking lid
  • Orientation: horizontal, floor-first, built for ground dwellers

Compare both sizing lanes

Hobby-practice target

Outside-floor ceiling: about 4.0 in DLS. Tarantula Cribs publishes about 3 × DLS long by 2 × wide for a ground dweller. Provenance C: published commercial practice, not a proven minimum.

Veterinary-clinic guidance

No exact clinic capacity is claimed from this outside shell. Tree of Life Exotic Pet Medical Center publishes terrestrial floor space of about 3–4 × DLS and interior height no more than 1.5 × DLS. The clinic does not define which floor axes take the multiplier, so verify the usable inside dimensions and finished substrate instead of treating this product as clinic-cleared.

Not a verified fit: the product title states supplier outside dimensions. Walls, lips, openings and build tolerance reduce usable space. Measure the finished inside enclosure and leave margin; an exact-edge equality does not count as a fit.

Measured candidates at the listed sizes (verify inside fit):

  • Brazilian White Knee (Acanthoscurria geniculata), 1.5 to 2.5 in juvenile
  • Mexican Fire Leg (Brachypelma boehmei), 1.5 to 2 in juvenile
  • Mexican Bloodleg (Aphonopelma bicoloratum), 1.5 to 2 in
  • Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola pulchripes), 1 to 1.5 in

Looking after the acrylic

  • Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Acrylic scratches more easily than glass.
  • Skip abrasive pads and ammonia-based glass cleaners. Both haze the surface.
  • Keep it out of direct sun. Heat build-up is a risk to the animal before it is a risk to the box.

Enclosure only. Substrate, cork and water dish are not included. Check your species ventilation and moisture needs before you set it up.
