Hey all, been lurking around this forum for a while and finally joined!
I currently have two slings (1 Heteroscodra maculata and 1 Pterinochilus murinus) that I love despite their feisty attitudes. :biggrin:
Both are currently in the 2-2.5 inch range and so I am looking to upgrade to the next size up enclosure soon. (Housed separately of course).
I am looking into two types of exo-terras and I was hoping to get opinions on both, as I am torn as to which to purchase.
Enclosure 1: Exo terra breeder box (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B596PI...lid=1K1QRA2BAN6VM&coliid=I3F461OE98Y324&psc=1)
Pros:
Cheaper
LOVE the idea of a little feeding door, especially with these guys
Seems to have good visibility
No screen on the top of the enclosure for little tarantula legs to get stuck in
Stackable
Cons
Not as nice looking
Not as tall as the glass exo terra - I'm not sure at what point the Heteroscodra maculata will decide to be arboreal
Enclosure 2: Exo Terra Glass Nano
Pros
Looks lovely
Taller than the breeder box
Good visibility
Rock formation included
Cons
Screen on top of cage may catch tarantula legs
I'm not convinced it's escape proof
More expensive
What do you guys think? I've pretty much narrowed my options down to these two cages but am open to other ideas as well.
And thanks for having me! Seems like a good forum and I hope to learn a lot to keep my tarantulas happy and healthy.

I forgot to include a link to the Exo Terra Glass Nano cage, so here it is for reference http://www.amazon.com/Terra-Glass-T...qid=1401987283&sr=8-2&keywords=exo+terra+nano
