I also just recently found these acrylic boxes from Michaels craft stores, in 3 different sizes, I soldered holes in the sides and top. I just used a metal hanger heated up on my stove. This one is 4" x 3" x 3" I believe...my greenbottle blue is in it (semi-arboreal)
As for substrate, I use either coco fiber or unfertilized potting soil. Terrestrial spiders get deeper substrate, arboreal spider get less
Good luck! I suggest handling a few before you make a solid decision.
there aint no handiling where im at (BFE)LOL,,,, maby ill just go to one of those craft stores and get all of the cubes that they have to offer and then go from there.
quick Q about terrestial and aboreal,,,, is one more seclusive than the other? i gotta be honest,, if i drop a few bills on something,, iwould like to see it every once in a whilw .
thanks
