About this Habitat

8 x 8 x 12 in Arboreal Acrylic Enclosure, 5 mm for sale from Big Z's. See the product description for dimensions and included items.

The first Arboreal size in 5 mm acrylic. Twelve inches of height on a broad floor.

5 mm clear acrylic with a ventilated locking lid. The thicker walls hold their shape at this size instead of flexing when you lift the lid.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 8 x 8 x 12 in
  • Capacity: 768 cubic inches, about 3.3 US gallons
  • Material: 5 mm clear acrylic
  • Lid: ventilated locking lid
  • Orientation: vertical, height-first, built for climbers

Compare both sizing lanes

Hobby-practice target

Outside-shell ceiling: about 4.0 in DLS. Tarantula Cribs uses total box dimensions of about 2 × DLS long, 1.75 × wide and 3 × high, with substrate handled separately. Provenance C: published commercial practice, not a proven minimum.

Veterinary-clinic guidance

Outside-height comparison: about 3 in DLS. Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital publishes total enclosure height of at least 4 × DLS and substrate of at least one-third of enclosure volume. It gives no numeric arboreal footprint. This is a height-only comparison from the supplier outside dimension, not a verified inside fit.

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):

  • Indian Ornamental (Poecilotheria regalis), 2 to 3 in juvenile
  • Ornamental Baboon (Heteroscodra maculata), 1 to 3 in juvenile
  • Florida Bark Scorpion (Centruroides gracilis), 3 to 4 in adult
  • Trinidad Chevron (Psalmopoeus cambridgei), grown on from a 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.
