You mean you got an iPod on your sons birthday? What did he get? Lol jk. Anyway if anyone gets crystal light, I noticed those would make good arboreal containers.

I'm hooked on snapware and lock & lock containers for my arboreal spiders, escape-proof lids and hold humidity very well!
LOL. Thanks for pointing that out. My son got the ipod...I got the container!

I like to keep slings in vials until they pass an inch or an inch and a half,
once they pass that size mark they go into these smaller 5"x4.5" octagon shaped containers
with blue tops.
Once they are almost 3" LS or in that range, (which by the way can be 3 months or 3 years!),
I move them into the containers with the green tops, for the next few molts,
and once they outgrow these I put them in medium or large breeder boxes,
which usually make their homes for the rest of their time, except in special circumstances,
(ie: t. blondi sling, p. regalis adult)
Sometimes when I'm not able to get the breeder boxes in bulk just yet,
I'll use the plastic shoe-boxes seen here, in the mean time.
Arboreal juvis are kept in the plastic containers with navy blue tops,
until they reach 4"-5"
My arboreals that are on their way to leggy adulthood,
will soon be in 5gal glass aquariums, placed on their ends.
These are bought containers, but modified tarantula enclosures nontheless,
so I thought to add my pictures anyway.

Cheap... hell yeah...
Just made a few new cheap container's.. with the vent's i got from ForrestP,
Sorry about the pic's... Their not the greatest....
The containers are still empty... havent had a chance to decorate them...
The cost for each of the container with the vents, is 5 dollars each... so 25 bucks not too shabby for five neat arbo enclosures...

Anyone have some more for sub-adult ~3inch terrestrials? Preferably ones that are pretty clear.

Here is my son's little spider I put in his Ipod container. I wanted to add something bright so it looks like there is something inside from a distance.
A few dried flowers, some old jewelry, a cut down cap for some hair care product...and an Ipod container. It will be good until next molt.
I think I'm going to take some dirt out of it. It can't touch the ceiling but it's close in some spots...

i love this thread, such good ideas in here. here's my contribution:
target market pantry cheeze balls $4.99. a ridiculous amount of sort of yummy cheesy snacky goodness and a great arbo container for free!
anyway, i've got to go steal an ipod case now, lol.

Those holes look a little big depending on what size slings you have in here.
