15 x 15 x 20cm Arboreal Jumping Spider / Mantis Enclosure
The definitive professional enclosure for arboreal invertebrates. Designed and handmade in the UK, the EntoScapes 15 x 15 x 20cm Arboreal Enclosure offers 360-degree optical clarity and a secure, hinged-door system.
Engineered for species that require vertical space and superior airflow, this handmade enclosure is the gold standard for mantises, jumping spiders, juvenile arboreal tarantulas and smaller phasmids.
NOTE: as these are made to order, we plan to get these produced and dispatched within 10-15 working days but this depends on our acrylic supplier and how busy we are. 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.
