    This is a great little enclosure for small pets and looks rly nice for a display. For me it looks perfect for a small arboreal/semi arboreal tarantula but I would change one thing, the mesh on the lid, tarantulas can sometimes get the hooks on their feet caught in the mesh and get themselves stuck which can result in losing a leg. A plastic lid with holes drilled in would be more suitable. Maybe mantis den could add the option of choosing which type of lid u would prefer.

      It also opens from the top, which isn’t ideal for mantids or small spiders because that’s where they make their home

    do you have to take (a lot of) care of the plants other than just watering them every day? i have an orchid mantis and would like to create an enclosure like this but i am REALLY bad with plants and keeping plants alive.

    Thanks for the inspiration! But 1 thing. This terrarium is not suitable for tarantulas because of the mesh lid.

      @@NORTHERNEXOTICS I know, they are also not suitable for tarantula's. We as tarantula owners always need to demount the terrariums to get rid of that stupid mesh and replace it for something else (plexiglass).

    Aren’t you worried about the biocides in the silicone you’ve used?

    • @NORTHERNEXOTICS

      Nope. Not with 100% silicone

    • @timreptile

      But that product isn’t 100% silicone!!! Everbuild general purpose silicone contains biocides. Here is a link to the product.
      www.everbuild.co.uk/product/general-purpose-silicone/
      The same manufacturer does an aquarium safe silicone called aquamate which would be appropriate to use. Please, please, please use products that don’t contain biocides. It’s a shame, because this little setup looks really good!
