What's in this enclosure

About this Enclosure

3 x 3 x 3 in Terrestrial Acrylic Enclosure, 5 mm for sale from Big Z's. See the product description for dimensions and included items.

The smallest box we stock. A three inch cube in 5 mm acrylic, stiff enough that the walls do not flex when you pop the lid off a fast sling.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 3 x 3 x 3 in
  • Capacity: 27 cubic inches, about 0.1 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 1.0 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):

  • Mexican Rose Grey (Tliltocatl verdezi), 0.25 to 0.5 in sling
  • Widow Jumping Spider (Phidippus ardens), 1/4 to 1/2 in body, adult
  • Rubber Ducky Pill Millipede (Hyleoglomeris cf. bomba), 1/4 to 1/2 in
  • Regal Jumping Spider (Phidippus regius), 1/16 to 1/8 in sling

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.
