20 x 20 x 20cm Cube Enclosure - Tarantula / Mantis / Millipede / Snail +more
The EntoScapes' Cube Enclosure 20x20x20cm is the perfect habitat for a wide variety of invertebrates from smaller tarantula species and velvet spiders, to snails and cockroaches. The choice in ventilation makes this enclosure even more versatile! It is also one of our more aesthetically pleasing enclosures with all the sides being the same length.
Made from high-quality clear acrylic and a polycarbonate door to ensure it remains warp-free, this bespoke, handmade enclosure is sure to provide an ideal home for your pet invertebrates. With plenty of space to move around, this is the perfect habitat for your pet to explore and thrive.
NOTE: as these are made to order, we plan to get these produced and dispatched within 10-15 working days but there is only two of us running the entire business and sometimes we get swamped!
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.

- 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: Choice of top or front 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

- Stoppers on the hinges of top opening door to prevent over-rotating the latches
- Ventilation: We offer two precision-drilled ventilation profiles. Our Standard Ventilation is 6 rows on the sides and provides maximum airflow for larger invertebrates and critters that prefer high ventilation. The Reduced Ventilation is 3 rows and is specifically designed for critters that require less airflow and higher humidity.
- Door Positioning: Choose from either top opening for a more terrestrial enclosure, or from front opening (downwards or sideways) for a more arboreal cube.
- Hole Diameter: Choose between 1mm, 2mm or 3mm 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.
- Terrestrial & Fossorial Tarantulas: In top-opening mode, it provides an excellent home for juvenile to sub-adult terrestrial species. The watertight base ensures you can pack in plenty of damp substrate for burrowing.
-
Arboreal Tarantulas: In front-opening mode, it is the perfect intermediate home for species like Pink Toes (Avicularia sp.) or Caribena versicolor, offering the precise cross-ventilation they require to thrive.
- Terrestrial Scorpion Species: Ideal for housing a juvenile Forest Scorpion or smaller adult species like the Dune Scorpion. The secure top-access door means you can safely maintain hides and feed your scorpion from above with zero risk of them darting out.
- Terrestrial and Arboreal Beetle Species: A fantastic display area for a community of beetles. Fruit beetles, sun beetles, Blue Death Feigning Beetles etc would all thrive in this size.
-
Large Praying Mantids: An incredible display for species such as the Ghost Mantis or Orchid Mantis. The vertical room allows for safe, hanging moults, while the 360-degree clarity ensures you never miss a hunt.
-
Showcase Isopod Colonies: A beautiful display size for establishing a dedicated focal colony of high-end isopods, allowing you to build an intricate, bioactive landscape with a distinct moisture gradient.
- Display Cockroach Species: A brilliant size for housing a small colony of fascinating display roaches, such as Dominican Roaches or juvenile Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. In top-opening mode, it provides excellent depth for a damp leaf-litter substrate layer.
-
Exotic Land Snails: Perfectly suited for small to medium snail species or as a nursery setup for growing Giant African Land Snails. The 3mm non-porous clear-cast acrylic is effortless to wipe away slime trails. Tip: Use in top-opening mode to safely hold a deep, damp substrate layer for egg-laying and burrowing.
-
Small Phasmids & Nymphs: An ideal rearing environment for smaller stick insect species, such as black beauties or early-instar nymphs of larger phasmids. When you choose front-opening mode, the 20cm height provides the vital vertical clearance they need to hang downward and shed their skins safely during a moult.
