[Sharing] Show Off Your Enclosures

Finally, here are the pictures! I was procrastinating doing this because I knew it would take this long

My main rack and my roach box I made on the right. The roach box was made from extra materials I had and I basically framed out a closet/wardrobe and insulated it. I just hang a sheet of insulation as a door and it stays a few degrees warmer than room temp which is normally around 70 F.


My 2nd rack in the living room with my Ball Python and H. Spinifers underneath.


H. Spinifer 3/4i had ordered adults and ended up with babies so they got this set up temporarily


This was set up for the H. Spin adults and is now awaiting the babies to get big enough to go in here, that's why I have let the substrate dry up. The bamboo peace in the back right hides a gatorade bottle with the bottom cut off and put right down into the false bottom. Looks a little more natural then just having a plastic bottle sticking up


Sparticus the Ball Python (My 4 yr olds name for him), had to add a picture in there as he was sitting so perfectly when I decided to include his enclosure for kicks and giggles!


Sparticus's tank


Hoffmanius/Vaejovis Spinigerus split tank


My maternity ward, I have 5 of these set up if I need to quickly rehouse something temporarily


Hottentotta Trilineatus Communal set up. They seem to love it and have now given me 3 broods so I think their stress level is down Can't wait to move them to a 30 or 40 when some of the babies get bigger


H. Trilineatus enclosure from a different angle


Some P. Irminia (Venezuelan Sun Tigers) and H. Maculata (Togo Starburst) sling enclosures - put forth a little extra effort and time with some extra bark I picked up one night, they seem to really like it!! Soon may be time to move to a new tank. If I can find or get to them most will tong feed


Babycurus Jacksoni Sling enclosure, the 3 that made it seem to be doing great! Got scared last week though cause I couldn't find one for a day and then later found him hiding under his water dish!


P. Murinus (OBT) Sling enclosure 1 of 9. My beast is in here, I love her!!


Parabuthus Transvaalicus Enclosure 1 - still waiting on inhabbitants

My sons rack in his room, he's so proud!


My sons G. Rosea Enclosure with self made back drop, 'Percy' is currenlty chilean (get it Chilean, instead of Chillin' lol!!) in her hide.


As you can see I like the little projects and research, here's a shot of a random corner of my kitchen as proof of the supplies laying round the house!!

iitodomachi1... your setup for your collections is absolutely stunning, Though I feel your enclosures for Heterometrus could be more moist... just an afterthought. Anyway here's a preview of my update on my Homelab


The Invert Rack

You can still see the old Emp tank under the Millipede Vivarium. Will post the udated version on my Borneo Homelab thread soon...

I'm so jealous of you guys your set ups are amazing!
wish I could have a room purely dedicated to scorpions and such! Our collection is growing quite fast though I will have to get a pic up of al the enclosures together soon, at the moment I have been playing around with one for the scorpio maurus we had missing from our recent order (order 3 and got 2 S. maurus and a H. Mysorensis lol) so got a few weeks to wait as seller has gone on holz.
I decided to play around with black sand for this one (Hagen Exo Terra Desert Sand Terrarium Substrate black) but I'm not sure that I like it tbh, here's some pics let me know what you think and all ideas are welcome as I've got time to play around with it and I'm stuck for ideas, or I could just leave it as it is nice and simple lol, just thought a Scorpio maurus would look awesome on a black sand background, gonna get some slate chippings sone and have a play around with them, stick some together see what I can make lol, anyway here's the pics.....

My scorpions enclosure


bye!

In your photo here I was admiring the lid that is inset into the tank. I work in a petstore and can't find lids like this. I am designing a new shelving unit using all 10 gallon tanks and would love to use the lids like this. Where did you get them?

Thanks.

I was going to post these in the south east arachnid show thread because alot of the stuff came from there but seeing as there's alot of pictures and they're all enclosures may aswell go in here.

My ever changing rack.


These two new tanks are for the male and female adult Het. madraspatensis.










Typically the female didn't burrow inside the tube


But the male played ball


Liocheles waigiensis in here.


Baby Het. madraspatensis in here.


Baby H. paucidens in here.


B. smithi in here.

Wow they are awesome! Now I really wish I had bought some from the show, where did u gt the round log bits from??

I just finally got my baby emp enclosure to look the way it can be how around, so here it is

That's cool!! Good job!! Where did you get the scorp on the skull, what's it made from?

Local petshop. They also had the same but with a tarantula on it.
It looked like from a clayish type of material, but the label says polyresin.

It's from a Belgian company called flamingo.. HERE

Great set ups everyone! Love the new enclosures Jamie and Dolby nice set up, thanks for posting up the link to the skulls, I dig the one with the pede too!

Part of my extremely unorganized setup

Scorpion breeding group rack. Currently have Babycurus gigas, Mesobuthus martensii, two pairs of Parabuthus transvallicus, Leiurus quinquestriatus, Babycurus jacksoni, Androctonus australis and the two empty enclosures are for my Rhopalurus junceus and Hottentotta judaicus.

A various mix of Tarantulas, Scorpions, true bugs "platymeris sp." and roaches

I didn't even bother cleaning up the mess to encourage more to show off their setups

Nice set up Bro! And you made me feel a little better with the mess although I think mines a bit worse off at the moment Hey let me know if you have any luck with those breeding projects and need to find some homes Especially the B. Gigas! I'd love to get my hands on some of those! Very very nice collection!

when i look at some of your collections i always wonder how do you manage to take care of all of them xD it seems almost impossible to remember when to feed all of the things you have int those tanks. i have three scorpions and i cant remember when was the last time i fed them and which one i fed xD

If you have problems remembering when to feed etc. I would recommend Exotic Keepers Record 2.0. I use it sometimes. Besides, it's also nice for keeping record of molts etc.

wow thanks i didnt know there is software for that xD

small cubes:

left - Iurus Dufoureius Asiaticus - 0.0.1
right - Heterometrus Laoticus - 0.0.1

Big cube: P. Imperator - 0.1.0

Biggest enclosure: Pogona Vitticeps "Red Morph"- 1.0.0
in front of it: Pogona Vitticeps - 0.0.1

nice enclosures can you post soem close ups of the small ones at all?

why doesn't your Pogona Vitticeps have anything to climb on/ basking area? Bearded Dragons are semi-arboreal (they like to climb, but they don't live in trees), so they need climbing furniture as well as floor space.

Closeups:

Cool nice setups, did u make them yourself?

Thanks.
Yep, I made the cubes. The beardie tanks I bought.

That's cool, we have been thinking about making our own got to be cheaper that way

Definitely cheaper. Here for the price of one ExoTerra PT-2602, I could buy 10m2 of 4mm glass (or 6m2 5mm or around 5m2 of 6mm glass). I don't know how the prices are in the UK though.

It's been awhile since I posted updates on my facility. I just installed some makeshift lights for night time ambiance. So this is the latest on my Arachnid rack.


Here is the nursery where I raise various juveniles, and smaller inverts



Cheers & best regards
