Jumping Spider Enclosure, Jumping Spider Habitat with Dropper Tongs Acrylic Reptile Breeding Box for Tarantula Scorpion Sling Isopods Invertebrates Insects Mantis Snake Gecko

I ordered these small enclosures because one of our jumping spiders laid a second surprise egg sac, and her enclosure is not baby-proof. I knew that these weren't perfect as is for tiny slings, but I figured that with some modifications, they would work. Here's what I've found: 1) The screens on the sides aren't glued in properly, but a quick round with the hot glue gun fixed both sides. 2) I took the feeding tube and cut it. I didn't know how quickly the fruit flies would find their way out of those small holes, and I wanted it to be easier to feed the slings. Then I moved the thicker plastic ring above the enclosure and hot glued that to the enclosure so there were no small holes for the slings to squeeze through. 3) I ordered a set of 3 small metal funnels that fit perfectly into this tube opening. 4) I taped the edges where the enclosure opens as it doesn't close tightly enough. 5) I did not use the water bowl as slings could drown in them. I am using those for bigger jumping spiders, though. Once I did this, I could capture the slings as they escaped their mama's enclosure and separate them into the new smaller enclosures. The screens make it easy to mist them daily, keeping them humid and hydrated for molting, and with the funnels, it's super easy to feed them. And I've had zero escapees since making these modifications. Note that I did order one for a slightly larger but still juvenile jumping spider and didn't need to add tape along the edges of the enclosure, but I still made all the other modifications, and it's working perfectly for him/her. For the price and speed at which these arrived, it's absolutely worth it, and I will continue to order.

Too small for anything except a pet flea perhaps. Substandard and expensive.

If I didn’t need it for my spider I would send it back without a second thought. My package was opened when it arrived, water bowl missing, tweezers broke, sat at the post office in Florida a week before it left there and delivered 2 days late so who’s to say it all didn’t happen there. However, There is a gap large enough for my spider to escape all around where the top and bottom meet, and he did. Luckily I found him in my window seal. I’ve had to tape it shut. The artificial moss carpet is fuzzy & sheds awful so it’ll need replaced soon. $15 is kind of expensive for something I had to rig up myself to make it work. Maybe this is the way they all are, it’s not the sellers fault it’s cheaply made, but I’ll just go ahead and save you the trouble and tell you to build your kit yourself from products with high ratings.

I bought two of these for my jumping spiders. Pros: Great size for little jumpers. Good it doesn’t open at the top, as that’s where jumpers typically nest. CUTE and stylistic I like the little feeding hole at the top - convenient size for fruit flies. Cons: Obvious super glue left over in places. Also rough plastic cuts around the holes. (Does not affect function at all.) The grass/carpet sheds a bit, and I had to trim it down so the container would close all the way. The grass/carpet fits in loosely, which makes cleaning out dead bugs easier, but also made one of my spiders curious, and he’s determined to climb around underneath the carpet, so that I’m worried he’s going to get crushed if I move it too quickly. One of the included sticks/branches/root? was too big for the container, and couldn’t be trimmed. (I replaced with sticks/decor of my own.) I genuinely don’t know what the hanging down vial is for… To me, it’s an unwanted feature and just gets in the way. It doesn’t have any holes or anything. Seems like it serves no function?

The water dish is small but heavy to stay in place. I have had no problem taking out the plug to insert food. I have been using the cylinder for water, although it says it can be used for food. The branch only fit in one way, and was sturdy. I did swap it out for a flower and a bench to try to liven it up— he really liked the branch so waiting to see what he thinks.
