Coffin Crib
The Coffin Crib by Tarantula Cribs is a uniquely shaped enclosure designed with both function and style in mind. It is ideal for terrestrial or arboreal invertebrates that prefer a cozy, low-profile space to call their own. With a footprint of 10 x 5 x 5 inches, this enclosure offers just the right amount of room for your small tarantula, isopod colony, or other small critters to settle in, explore, and display their natural behaviors.
This model features a solid black backing to create a sense of privacy and contrast, helping your animal feel secure while still allowing you to observe their daily habits through the clear acrylic walls. Like all of our enclosures, the Coffin Crib is made from UV-resistant, pet-safe clear acrylic and includes laser-drilled 2 mm ventilation for consistent airflow. The secure, fully removable lid offers easy access for feeding and maintenance, while the clean, minimalist design makes it suitable for display or stackable storage.
Whether you’re creating a shadowy lair for a web-spinner or just love a bit of flair in your bioactive setups, the Coffin Crib is a solid starting point for keepers who want their setups to look good and work well.
Best suited for: Juvenile tarantulas, small invertebrates, or terrestrial species up to 2–3 inches in size. The coffin shape also makes it a fun, eye-catching addition to any collection—without compromising on animal welfare or functionality.

What types of pets can I keep in this enclosure?
This acrylic enclosure is thoughtfully designed for hobbyists who appreciate versatility and style in their habitat setups. Ideal for species that thrive in both arboreal and terrestrial environments, the enclosure can be positioned vertically or horizontally, allowing for a customized layout based on your animal's natural behavior. Moving beyond the conventional boxy designs, this enclosure adds a touch of visual interest while still prioritizing function and space. Whether you're housing an active jumping spider, a charismatic hissing cockroach, a striking Mexican Redrump tarantula, assassin bugs, beetles, or a Pinktoe tarantula, this enclosure offers ample room for movement, exploration, and enrichment. It's equally suitable for plant-based setups, providing space for roots to spread and thrive. With its adaptable orientation and clean, modern aesthetic, this enclosure is an excellent choice for those seeking both performance and flair in their invertebrate or botanical displays.
What is the benefit of acrylic over glass?
Acrylic enclosures offer several advantages over glass when housing invertebrates, making them a preferred choice for many keepers and hobbyists. One of the primary benefits is their lightweight nature, which makes acrylic enclosures easier to handle, move, and position, especially in setups involving multiple or stacked habitats. Additionally, acrylic provides superior clarity compared to glass, offering better light transmission and a more vivid view of the enclosure's interior, which is ideal for observing invertebrate behavior or showcasing display species. Durability is another key factor; acrylic is significantly more impact-resistant than glass, reducing the risk of shattering in accidental drops or bumps. Finally, acrylic provides better thermal insulation than glass, helping to maintain stable temperatures with greater efficiency—an essential consideration for species requiring consistent warmth. These qualities make acrylic a versatile and practical material for invertebrate enclosures.
First bioactive, what else should I add to the enclosure?
Creating a bioactive enclosure is an excellent way to provide your reptile or arthropod with a naturalistic, self-sustaining habitat. By mimicking natural ecosystems, bioactive setups utilize living organisms to help manage waste, support plant growth, and maintain overall enclosure health. For beginners, setting up a successful bioactive enclosure starts with choosing the right substrate tailored to the species’ environmental needs. We highly recommend you check out our guide, which is all about Bioactive for Beginners, before taking the plunge into the world of bioactive arthropod keeping!
