8 x 5 x 4 in Terrestrial Acrylic Enclosure, 3 mm

Built wide and low for the ground crew: more floor than height, so a terrestrial tarantula, scorpion or beetle gets room to roam and only a short drop if it climbs the walls. A long low box. Eight inches of floor with only four of height, which is the shape you want for a ground hunter that never climbs. The ventilated locking lid keeps air moving and the lid shut, and the clear acrylic gives you a full view of the animal and everything it builds. At 8 x 5 x 4 inches it is sized for animals up to about 2.25 inches of leg span (body length for scorpions). Grab one with your next animal and it is ready to set up the day it lands.

Why keepers pick this one

• Floor First: horizontal layout with low height, the shape ground dwellers want and the safest one for a heavy-bodied tarantula.
• Locking, Vented Lid: it latches shut and breathes, so you get airflow and peace of mind in the same lid.
• Crystal Clear: 3 mm clear acrylic: light, crystal clear and far harder to shatter than glass.
• Sized for Real Animals: matched to real species and sizes (list below), so you are not guessing.

Build it out

Pair it with a piece of Small Cork Bark as a hide, a bottle-cap water dish, and Multipurpose Mix or Semi-Arid Mix underfoot.

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 sold separately. Sizes are outside dimensions, so measure your animal against the inside and leave a little room to grow.

Lifestyle

Terrestrial: a ground dweller. Floor space and a hide.
