20 x 20 x 30cm Extra Large Arboreal Enclosure - Tarantula, Mantis, Stick Insects
Our largest and most versatile arboreal enclosure, designed for keepers who refuse to compromise on space or quality.
Handmade in the UK from rigid 3mm high-impact acrylic, this 20 x 20 x 30cm display provides the ultimate vertical arboreal habitat for adult invertebrates. Whether you are creating an intricate bioactive landscape or housing a high-energy hunter, this enclosure offers the structural strength, 360-degree clarity, and precision airflow required for a thriving long-term environment.
This enclosure is the perfect affordable home for medium / large mantids, arboreal tarantulas, spiders, and small to medium stick insects.
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.

- 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: 20 x 20 x 30cm
- 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: Front-opening hinged door with a precision-fit acrylic latch to prevent escapes and provide easy access for maintenance and feeding.
- Substrate Barriers: Features a 9cm deep-base seal, allowing for bioactive layers, drainage, and moisture retention without the risk of leaks. Also a 2cm barrier above door to avoid web breakage and disturbance if keeping spiders.
- Extras: Non-slip silicone corner covers for safe and compact enclosures that can easily stack and still be aesthetically pleasing
- Ventilation: We offer two precision-drilled ventilation profiles. Our Standard Ventilation is 9 rows on the side and back and provides maximum airflow for larger invertebrates and critters that prefer high ventilation, while our Reduced Ventilation is specifically designed for critters that require less airflow and higher humidity.
- 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 one large hole on each face for fitting in a 3D printed vent or feeding apparatus if you do not want our precision drilled lines of ventilation.
- Door Direction: Choice of side opening (R-L) door or a downwards opening door, depending on what invert you are keeping and how likely their are to try and escape. This may also be useful depending on what type of feeder insect you need to drop into the enclosure as fruit flies can be trickier with a sideways opening door.
- 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 Mantis Specialists: The ideal permanent home for larger species such as the Giant Asian Mantis (Hierodula membranacea) or the Dead Leaf Mantis (Deroplatys). The 30cm height ensures ample space for safe moulting and active hunting.
-
Arboreal Tarantula Display: A premium home for many adult arboreal tarantulas, such as Pink Toe Tarantulas (Avicularia sp.) or Caribena versicolor. The precision-drilled cross-ventilation is a critical feature for these species, maintaining the fresh airflow they need to thrive.
-
Stick Insect Colonies: The generous vertical space is perfect for small groups of small or medium-sized phasmids like the Leaf Insects or Pink Winged Stick Insects, allowing them to hang and moult without obstruction.
-
Highly Versatile: Also suitable for small climbing reptiles and amphibians, such as dart frogs. The extra volume allows for elaborate enrichment, including multiple climbing levels, hideouts, and a deep substrate barrier allowing for live plants or a damp layer.
-
High-Volume Bioactive Setups: Thanks to the 9cm deep-base seal, this enclosure can support a significant substrate layer. It is perfect for establishing robust bioactive clean-up crews (isopods and springtails) alongside larger tropical plants and cork bark branches.
-
Professional Breeding Display: Due to its 360° clarity and escape-proof latch, it is a favourite for professional breeders who need to monitor mating pairs.
-
Bespoke Botanical Terrariums: Its size makes it a stunning "Living Art" piece for larger tropical flora. The UV-stable acrylic creates a perfect microclimate for climbing vines, orchids, and complex moss walls that would struggle in standard open-air pots.
