hahahaha, welcome to the hobby !! You will experience many "buy for love/sell for space" moments

Well Vanessa, I guess the fun never stops... :starwars:

200x250x400 (WDH)
x max 4 per 1m shelf (otherwise, weight issues with the material I use)
x 4 shelves per unit
= 2 units of 2m Wide x 300 deep
= (plus another unit for the other big arboreals) basically the whole other 3m wall : D

Yup And it's NOT hoarding! No matter what the family, significant other or shrink might say!

My cabinet that I have just built, can house 30 arboreal tanks, 250 X 250 X 400, 6 per shelf with 5 shelves, the cabinet will stand 2370 high by 1552 wide by 280 in depth, that is with a 50mm air gap above the tanks to the bottom of the shelf. So it takes up a fair amount of space to house 30 Arboreal's.

You don't need to give your larger spiders huge tanks.

The size I have decided to use for my larger tarantulas that are 20cm legspan and up will be 330mm squared by 450mm long. To be honest it could be 50mm to 100mm smaller but I have the space at the moment, when the times comes and I can't fit them in I will make the tanks a bit smaller.

Nice! Do you use 4mm or 3mm glass for the size? And what material is the cabinet? Any re-inforcing?
