25 x 15 x 15cm Medium Terrestrial Critter Keeper - Isopods, Roaches etc

When housing sensitive species, the quality of the habitat directly impacts the health and longevity of the inhabitant. Our bespoke builds are engineered to solve the common failures of mass-produced, flat-pack alternatives.

 

This section compares our UK-handmade builds against mass-produced alternatives to help you make an informed choice for your livestock.

 

Features	EntoScapes Bespoke (Handmade)	Standard Flat pack (Mass produced)
Material Quality	3mm Clear Cast Perspex Acrylic. Strong. Lightweight. Clearer than glass (>90% light transmission).	2mm thin plastic or styrene. Bendy. Unreliable. Becomes cloudy and warped over time.
Ventilation	Precision Drilled, Cross Flow Ventilation. Variety of Options to suit your exact needs.	Pre-determined ventilation holes. Often insufficient.
Set-up time	Arrives assembled, cleaned and Polished (Ready to use straight out the box)	Requires time-consuming fiddly set up putting the flat pack panels together, sometimes including rubber bands
Cleaning	Seamless interior (Easy wipe)	Dirt and dust trapping joints. Absorbent rubber bands become mouldy and break. Absorbent, low quality acrylic is hard to clean satisfactorily.
Stackability	Reinforced, load-bearing design with non-slip rubber feet	Structural risks if stacked on top of each other. Often uneven surface on top.
Visibility	360° Seamless Clarity	Visible seams and unsightly connection points. Clouding and discolouration common due to low quality absorbent plastic and poor ventilation.
Door System	Clear Hinge & Secure Latch System. Polycarbonate to prevent un-secured edges from warping, ensuring maximum security and longevity	Friction-fit or simple tabs. Doors often fall inwards allowing critters to escape. Doors often warp over time
Durability	Majority of edges secured with strong, non-toxic acrylic-weld cement which prevents warping and fuses the panels together at an atomic level. Extremely strong, clear cast acrylic for high impact resistance. Non-porous and UV resistant.	Prone to bowing, warping and yellowing. Total structural failure likely from small a small impact.
Bioactive ready?	Yes - Deep-base water-tight seal	No - Will leak at every seam

• External Dimensions: 25 x 15 x 15cm

 

• Material: All crystal clear polished cast acrylic for great 360° viewing. Polycarbonate door for reduced warping.

 

• Drilled Air Holes: Ventilation on sides and back, door and lid to provide perfect cross-ventilation. Also an option to swap for a large vent hole if you prefer a 3D printed vent or feeding apparatus.

 

• Access: Top opening hinged lid with a precision-fit acrylic latch to prevent escapes and provide easy access for maintenance and feeding.

 

• Barriers: Features a stationary barrier around the door covering each corner . This is to prevent warping and to avoid web breakage and disturbance if keeping spiders that like to web corners around a lid

 

• Extras: Non-slip silicone corner covers for safe and compact enclosures that can easily stack and still be aesthetically pleasing.
• Stoppers on the hinges of top opening door to prevent over-rotating the latches

• Hole Diameter: Choose between 1mm or 2mm ventilation holes based on your invertebrate's needs and personal preference.

 

• Bore Holes: We also offer the ability to drill larger bore holes for fitting in a 3D printed vent or feeding apparatus if you do not want our precision drilled lines of ventilation.

 

• Colours: Personalise and stylise your enclosure with a coloured acrylic background! Choose from something funky to fit your preferred colour palette, or choose a naturalistic colour to make enclosure decoration even more seamless

• Adult Terrestrial Tarantulas: A fantastic "forever home" for small adult species such as Green Bottle Blues (C. cyaneopubescens) or Pumpkin Patch Tarantulas. The 15cm height allows for a safe substrate depth while leaving plenty of room for web-layering and decor.

 

• Premium Live Food Station: An excellent, long-term solution for storing live food such as Crickets, Locusts, or Dubia Roaches. Replacing cramped, poorly-ventilated shipping tubs with this high-clarity enclosure allows for better airflow and space, significantly reducing mortality rates. The 360-degree visibility makes it easy to monitor food and water levels, while the secure top-opening door ensures no "escapees" during feeding time.

 

• Established Isopod Colonies: Perfectly sized for displaying mature colonies of Dairy Cows, Orange Dalmatians, or Armadillidium species. The 25cm length allows for distinct environmental zones, ensuring your isopods can move between moist and dry areas as needed.

 

• Terrestrial Scorpion Species: An ideal habitat for species like the Dune Scorpion or juvenile Forest Scorpions. The escape-proof latches and rigid 3mm acrylic provide the security needed for housing these active predators.

 

• Millipede Housing: Suited for small - medium-sized species like Bumblebee Millipedes. The sealed base ensures you can maintain the deep, damp substrate levels required for their health and burrowing activities.

 

• Beetle Display: A great choice for housing smaller active adult beetles. The 360-degree clarity ensures you never miss their fascinating behaviours, while the cross-ventilation keeps the environment fresh.
