40 x 30 x 30cm Extra Large Terrestrial Enclosure - Snails, Millipede, Beetle 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	4mm 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: 40 x 30 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: 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

• 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.

 

• Hole Diameter: Choose between 2mm or 5mm 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.

• Adult Terrestrial & Fossorial Tarantulas: The ultimate "forever home" for large species like the Salmon Pink Birdeater (L. parahybana) or Brazilian Black (G. pulchra). The 30cm height allows for substantial substrate depth for burrowing while maintaining a safe distance from the lid to prevent fall risks.

 

• Giant Millipede Communities: A spacious habitat for the larger colonies of medium species, like ivory millipedes. The expansive floor space allows for a complex forest floor setup with rotting wood, leaf litter, and moss, and ample above ground space for semi-arboreal species. 

 

• Large Snail Habitats: Perfectly suited for Giant African Land Snails (GALS). The 4mm acrylic is incredibly durable and easy to clean, providing a clear 360-degree view of these fascinating gastropods as they explore.

 

• Apex Invertebrate Predators: A secure and impressive display for centipedes or scorpions. The top-opening hinged door and lockable latches provide total security for fast-moving or medically significant species.

 

• Small Reptile & Amphibian Bioactive Displays: An ideal, lightweight alternative to heavy glass tanks for small species such as Pacman Frogs, Tomato Frogs, or juvenile terrestrial geckos. The water-tight base supports complex drainage layers and live plantings.

 

• Large-Scale Isopod Colonies: For the serious collector, this enclosure allows for massive, thriving colonies of Porcellio or Cubaris species to be displayed in a landscape-style environment.

 

• Cockroach Colony Displays: A premium way to house and observe large communal groups of Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches or Peppered Roaches, with ample room for climbing structures and bark hides.
