[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 166956, member: 27444"] I use to use these for terrestrial Ts but gave up on it. The 12x12x12 exoterra enclosures become a huge pain in the butt. As you see in the photo you need to slope the dirt up so it's not too tall for a falling spider. The problem with this you can see substrate already coming out of the cross ventilation. In time the spider...especially most Tliltocatl, Brachypelma, Aphonopelma, and Grammostola are going to burrow and dig. Guess where all that substrate is going to end up???? Down hill against the doors. Huge mess and a pain in the butt. Also with the cross ventilation being at the substrate level I've had roaches/crickets escape. For glass enclosures for my terrestrial Ts I use Zoo med creatures low profile enclosures. 10x8x20 with a fully ventilated top. Simple and perfect for all terrestrial spider.
