New Tank for L Para

[Jane Mitchell]

I was looking at the previous thread about enclosures and I don't think it will be long before we need to re-house our L Para. He's in a 12" cube exo terra at the moment but after his last moult he's grown to about 7" leg span and when he moves around it's amazing how much ground he can cover!

What we'd be after is a similar thing but 12"w x 18"l x 12"h (we really don't want any taller because he has a habit of hanging upside down from the mesh and wouldn't want him to fall too far)

Does anyone have any ideas who would sell something this size? Ideally it would be glass as he's in our lounge and the tank needs to look nice.

Look up CustomAquaria , I've a few of their tanks and they are decent quality . http://customaquaria.co.uk/index.htm

Or these , ' House of spiders' not used them but they also say they do custom sizes . http://www.houseofspiders.co.uk/page_1242817363484.html

Or the final option is make your own . if you're good with your hands it's not too hand if your got someone locall that cuts glass to size . I've built one myself and it's not too bad but should of put more ventilation in .

Hi Jane, if it's a male it's unlikely he'll need a bigger tank than what he's in.
