Terrestrial Sling Crib
The Terrestrial Sling Crib by Tarantula Cribs is a compact, thoughtfully designed enclosure made specifically for young terrestrial spiderlings (also known as slings). At just 3 x 2 x 2 inches, it offers a secure and manageable space tailored to your smallest invertebrate companions' unique needs.
Perfect for early stages of growth, this enclosure features laser-drilled 1 mm ventilation holes that provide steady airflow while preventing even the tiniest slings from escaping. The crystal-clear acrylic construction gives you full visibility from all angles, making it easy to monitor your sling’s development without disturbing their environment. A magnet-secured top lid ensures quick and easy access for feeding and maintenance while staying firmly in place when closed.
Whether you’re raising your very first sling or managing a collection of spiderlings, the Terrestrial Sling Crib offers a simple, effective way to keep them safe, visible, and secure as they grow.
Best suited for: Terrestrial spiderlings up to 1–1.5 inches in size. This enclosure is ideal for early rearing phases and helps maintain consistent conditions while reducing the risk of escape.

What types of pets can I keep in this enclosure?
This acrylic enclosure is the perfect Terrestrial habitat, designed for creatures needing space to roam. Our Terrestrial Terrain enclosures are ideal for tarantulas who want to explore and wander or hunt for prey. This cage was designed to prevent our pets from climbing too high and getting hurt. We highly recommend this enclosure for terrestrial tarantulas such as the Mexican Redrump, Assassin bugs, or Beetles.
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!
