πŸͺ΄ Terrarium not included.

🧩 Design & Construction

Each lid is printed in one solid piece β€” no assembly required β€” and comes preinstalled with an 8" x 10" acrylic panel and built-in mesh ventilation along the front and back.

The mesh is:

  • Tarantula-safe (no toe-catching)

  • Fine enough to block fruit flies

  • Rust-proof, as it’s printed directly from plastic

These lids are designed to be a sleek, all-in-one upgrade compared to the stock versions.

If your tank maintains extremely high humidity, you may wish to swap the acrylic for glass later, as acrylic can sometimes warp under prolonged moisture exposure.

βš™οΈ Functional Features

Each lid includes three pre-threaded holes:

  • One in the front center

  • Two in the back corners

All three holes come fitted with flush, screw-in plugs.
They can be customized for your needs using optional accessories available in our shop:

  • Feeder screw caps – for easy feeding or watering without opening the enclosure

  • Misting nozzle adapters – compatible with standard misting nozzles

  • Cord pass-through caps – for safely routing cables or tubing

  • Solid vent inserts – installed over the mesh to block airflow and maintain high humidity

πŸ”’ Simple Locking Mechanism

The built-in latches operate smoothly and securely:

  • To unlock, gently push the latches toward the center.

  • To lock, push them away from the center.
