Just went simple with these...think I will house my juvie Lp's in these. I got them for half price at a craft store a few weeks ago so I grabbed a bunch.Its hard to see but the cork bark actually has a lot of room under it.

Very nice! I love the backdrop.. And the plant.. Well, actually the whole thing. What are the measurements of the cube if you don't mind my asking?

Oh! Nice! What size are they and what craft store? I'm always looking for economical terrestrial containers.

I like those, I bet if you cut the lid you could fashion it for an arboreal?

They are actually pretty big 15.5 x 7 x 6. normally $20.00 but it was half off at michaels that week. (although they may be like 12.00 right now not sure) They have a buy in bulk where you can order a few or ton in store. I got the vents from this site http://roundvents.com/main.sc


And yes you could easily make it an aboreal set-up it sits pretty well standing up. I have a few that I'm doing for a couple pokies.

Great looking enclosure there, I would use all acrylic enclosures if I could, very happy with the two I have.

Did you have to fit the soffit vents yourself, or is this intended for tarantula housing? Looks great :)

Thanks for that, I understand the process involved in making a hole in acrylic though ;) I was just asking was the enclosure bought as is, or did you modify it, cheers for clearing that up. Again, looks great how you've set it up, good bargain too!

Very nice! I like these so much more than Kritter Keepers, although KK's are a lot cheaper off of eBay.

What did you use to secure the vents?

I am going to get the Michaels coupon from tomorrow's newspaper and go shopping?

Thanks for the post!
