URS Micro Spider Terrarium (30 x 30 x 20cm) - In Store Pickup Only

Dimensions:

• Metric: 30 cm (length) x 30 cm (width) x 20 cm (height)
• Imperial: Approximately 12 inches x 12 inches x 8 inches

Key Features:

• Full Glass Sides: Provides excellent visibility of your pet from all angles. This is crucial for observing the animal and monitoring its health and behavior.
• Secure Mesh Lid: The top is made of a secure mesh, which allows for optimal ventilation. This is important for preventing stagnant air and mold growth, especially in humid setups. The mesh lid also provides an attachment point for accessories like heat lamps or lighting. It typically latches securely to prevent escapes.
• Compact Size: The "Micro" designation highlights its small footprint, making it suitable for limited spaces or for keeping smaller animals.
• Terrestrial Design: The low height (20cm) makes it ideal for terrestrial species that spend most of their time on the ground, rather than climbing.

Common Uses/Suitable Inhabitants:

• Spiders: Especially smaller tarantulas (juveniles or dwarf species) and other terrestrial spiders.
• Scorpions: Most small to medium-sized terrestrial scorpions.
• Hatchling Pythons/Snakes: Suitable for very young, small snake species as a temporary enclosure before they outgrow it.
• Small Geckos: Certain small, terrestrial gecko species (e.g., some knob-tailed geckos).
• Hermit Crabs: Provides enough floor space for a couple of small hermit crabs with appropriate substrate depth.
• Other Small Critters: Various other small invertebrates or amphibians that don't require significant height.

Considerations:

• Limited Height: At only 20cm tall, it's not suitable for arboreal (tree-dwelling) species that need vertical climbing space, or for very active animals that require a lot of room.
• Heating and Lighting: While the mesh lid allows for light and heat penetration, you'll need to select appropriate heating and lighting systems (e.g., heat mats under a portion of the terrarium, low-wattage heat lamps, or LED lighting) based on the specific needs of your animal.
• Substrate: Ensure you provide an appropriate depth of substrate for burrowing species (like many tarantulas) or for maintaining humidity.
• Enrichment: Despite its small size, it's important to provide appropriate hides, decor, and water dishes to create a stimulating environment for your pet.

This terrarium is a good entry-level or dedicated enclosure for enthusiasts keeping smaller terrestrial invertebrates and reptiles.
