Some new enclosures

David VB · Mar 9, 2015

Today i bought 5 new terraria for some subadult arboreal species :

2 of them are for P. metallica :

Other 3 will be for H. maculata but are still drying (glued some wood together to make hollow branches against a wooden back wall) :

More pictures tomorrow

nice always kinda liked those slide enclosures.. the wood looks great, is it field collected?

David VB · Mar 10, 2015

Yeah, almost a year ago. Has been drying all this time. Don't know what kind of wood it is, but did use some before which did great in a moisty enclosure (meaning no mould).

Bought them at my local pet shop (in Belgium that is). Don't think the owner will ship out to the US, it would cost more to ship than the enclosures themselves, i think. It was 12euro for 1.

Great deal if its glass. Thats most likely just slide guide chopped up. Probably €9-10 to make too! Especially if was chopped from large sheets or bulk

Very cool. Looks like fun to design them. Can't wait until my slings get bigger and i can design a naturalistic looking terrarium

Very nice my man! I love naturalistic enclosures...

I setup my cages similarly to yours however I never thought about attaching my bark tubes to the backdrop... I might give that a try!

Haha i have heard so many people refer to them as pokie launch ramps and newb tubes but I haven't had a poec attack me from one.. Yea they sometimes throw threats in them and will bolt out from them but I've ever had one jump from one out of aggression...
