I wanted to design something for an arboreal sling that was at least tolerable to look at, but still inexpensive to make. There is cross-ventilation via air holes along the top of one side and in the lid of the same side, and a row of holes about 2" from the bottom on the opposite side. I used PVC hoping to avoid mold, and used a wye connector with a slight curve in it (don't know the technical term), having taken inspiration from the bamboo tubes often used for pokies. I hot glued plastic plants to it to give the slings anchors for their webs and to help with the look of it. I have bottle cap water bowls hot glued to the side, directly underneath a hole in the top. The hole is closed off by a water bottle top that's been hot glued to the lid. I'm hoping this will allow me to drop in crickets and change water without actually lifting the lid because this species is known for VERY heavy webbing. They're set to arrive tomorrow morning so please let me know what you think. (I removed about .5" of substrate after these were taken to make it more arboreal)
