10 x 10 x 10cm Small Cube Enclosure - Terrestrial Tarantula Slings etc
Our most adaptable micro-enclosure. Handmade in the UK from premium 3mm clear-cast acrylic, this 10cm cube is engineered for total versatility.
Depending on your species' needs, choose between top-opening terrestrial habitat or a front-opening arboreal display. This design is the professional standard for housing everything from burrowing tarantula slings to climbing jumping spiders.
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.

- 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
-
Arboreal "Sling" Habitat (Front-Opening): Perfectly suited for juvenile jumping spiders or arboreal tarantula juveniles. By choosing the front-opening configuration, you can provide the vertical climbing space and top-webbing room these species require.
-
Terrestrial Grow-Out (Top-Opening): The ideal step-up for terrestrial juveniles. The top opening 10cm cube provides a secure floor-focused environment with enough depth for a meaningful substrate layer for burrowing species.
-
Isopod Starter Cultures: An excellent choice for establishing new colonies of "designer" isopods. The 10cm footprint allows for the creation of essential micro-climate, providing the space needed for a moisture gradient to support breeding and moulting.
-
Premium Live Food Storage: A superior option for storing smaller quantities of live food such as Crickets or Roaches. Moving your feeders out of cramped, poorly ventilated shipping tubs and into this cross-ventilated cube reduces die-off rates and ensures your pets receive healthy, active prey.
- Desktop Nature Box: A beautiful way to display a piece of nature on a desk or narrow windowsill is to create a faunarium. It’s the perfect size for a minimalist terrestrial landscape featuring low-growing mosses, fascinating carnivorous plants and interesting hardscape
