I need to re house my P. Cambridgei, P. Irminia, B, Albopilosum, C. Cyaneopubescens. The are all in the region of 7 cm and the cage they are in is 150 x 150 x 150. Cage below

I have been playing with some ideas and getting some tips from everyone on the forum regarding enclosures.

What I know so far is that a cage should be 3 x 3 x 2 the size of the spider. For arboreal the cage should be higher and for the terrestrial and burrowers the cage should be wider.

I came up with the following design that I can change between Arboreals and Terrestrials.

I have one thing to add. Make sure your sides fit inside the other perspex otherwise the doors wont have anything to rest on.

I'm here to offer advice on what I know...

I were thinking on the idea since we started with keeping T's. I also looked at every post on the forum regarding enclosures and stole ideas from them

The doors will have small latches that will keep them in place. See sketch

The latches will go through the door and will be kept in place with a peg.
