[QUOTE="Lady J, post: 137543, member: 28300"] Yeah you kinda need that, its the same with skidish terrestrials. Here is another material alternative and likely the one I will use Polycarbonate sheet - polycarbonate sheets are as clear as glass, and they are 250 times more resistant to breakage than standard glass and 30 times more resistant to impact than acrylic sheet plastic. UV and weather resistant. They're also non toxic unlike acrylic 10 gallon Terrestrial Terrarium (accommodates Tarantulas 5-6", Larger T's will need a larger enclosure. I am going by the 3x rule) - 4 polycarbonate sheets 12 x 20 - 2 polycarbonate sheets 12 x 12 = $52.95 total with other materials = $ 65.00 DIY Kit: $65 plus shipping Built: $75 plus shipping included in Kit: ( 6x polycarbonate sheets cut to size "7 if your including the hatch, doesn't effect charge", 2x acrylic hinges, 1x handle/knob/pull, 1x magnet lock. 2x sliders cut to size, 4x adhesive furnature protectors,1x tube of aquarium safe silicone adhesive ) [/QUOTE]
