My custom GBB tank

[HungryGhost]

My GBB molted last week and it's time for her to move to something bigger and better than her deli cup. I used a 2.5 gallon glass tank for this set up. I made a custom cover with a piece of plexiglass, two 2" metal vents, and a plastic handle. In each corner of the cage and lid I glued some heavy duty magnets to secure the lid. After she eats a meal or two post-molt, she'll move into her new digs.

What's the dimension on the tank? Looks like the perfect size for a lot of mine.

Great job! Looks like an awesome enclosure!

Can you share your techniques in cutting out the circles and the affixing the vents?

 

[Grammostola in my heart]

hole saw. its a drill attachment. the vents i belive are a kind sold by jamiestarantulas and are affixed via bendable tabs

 

[Denny Dee]

May have to try that sometime.

Yes Jaimie's sells the vents. To cut the holes I used a dremel tool with a multi-purpose cutting bit.

To bad after a While you won't see bottom of tank. it will be completely webbed I have one of those little tanks it was always to moist it didn't occur to me to use spacers like you did. I am going to have to pull it back out of the closet and give it a new purpose
