I have been absolutely terrified of any kind of spider out there no matter how big or small but a while ago I started to get into learning about insects and only recently came across your videos and exotics videos. I have to say that the combination of my new interest in bugs and both of your guys’ channels (since you guys do such an amazing job showcasing these beautiful creatures) I have almost absolved entirely my fear of arachnids. I absolutely cannot wait until I am knowledgeable enough to get my own first tarantula!!

I agree each enclosure needs its own lid so they can be independent if needed, but the only way to come up with great ideas and designs is to go for it and take the chance, finding out the ways to improve on your original idea.

    Put a piece of glass underneath your bottom when you silicone it so that it’s slightly raised. Then glue that same piece onto your lid. This way you can still stack the enclosures while still having separate lids for each of them.

But it most definitely does save on space though, plus they're all very beautiful, really lovely display of all your Tarantula's, looks better because you can see T's clearly. Definitely looks way better than plastic containers. Great inspiration video especially enjo the DIY part. Beautiful. Thanks Petko. 😁😊❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

      Also get there really really early. Like, arrive at 8:00 to 8:30. Even then the line is going to be full and parking lot will be full as well. Although if you've been there before you already know this bit. :p

    Here’s a tip I learned from building enclosures. Buy some 90° brackets from your local hardware store and line up all your glass and glue the brackets on to the outside of the glass for each side and once it’s all together with the brackets and hot glue, silicone the inside joints of all the glass and let cure. Then you can use hot water or a heat gun to remove the hot glue and brackets. Saves a lot of time for me.

    I think using the bottom of one enclosure as a lid for another is a good idea in theory, but a bit impractical, at least with larger enclosures. Also, maybe you could make a jig (a device that holds a piece(s) of work and guides the tools operating on it/them) to help with making enclosures. It will help you keep everything squared up and also hold the parts in place while the silicone cues. Would save you a lot of time as well.

  • @surtu9221
    @surtu9221 5 років тому

    It's like a great idea that creates more problems than it solves XD
    If you want to be able to stack big enclosures like this, each one still needs a separate lid because the spiders can climb glass as soon as one is removed, Ideally the lid of one should fit in the bottom of the other tank to prevent slipping and sliding. What you can do is silicone some decorative molding or a strip of glass, etc around the top of each cage that creates that little 'lip' you need. Alternatively you can use pegs or circular glass insets on the top lid that match the bottom of the other enclosure.
    I still get the impression you'd be much better off with a hinge door on the front of the enclosure, because it's annoying having to take them apart one by one to feed them, especially past a certain size.
    Also I'm mildly concerned that as you scale up, the silicone on the bottom glass panel's going to give out under the weight of the substrate and the whole enclosure will plummet through the bottom XD

(I do not know if it is possible to cut glass so you can make a door but if there is a way I think it would be awesome idea). Love your channel, please continue, I really enjoy your videos! ❤🕷
