Tarantula Enclosure XL (10”x7”x14”) Reptile Terrarium w/Sliding Magnetic Door-Great Reptile Tank for Terrestrial or Arboreal Animals- Acrylic Terrarium for Juvenile or Adult Spiders- Hermit Crab Cage

Tarantula Enclosure XL (10”x7”x14”) – The Perfect Home for My Arachnids!I’ve been using the Tarantula Enclosure XL from Authentic Joy to house my medium-sized tarantulas, and I absolutely love it! It’s a versatile tank that works for all types of tarantulas—arboreal, terrestrial, and even fossorial species. The high-quality acrylic is thick, sturdy, and clear, making it easy to see my spiders without any obstructions. I've got around 10 of these enclosures now, and I plan to continue using them for my growing collection.What really stands out to me is the design. The sliding magnetic door is such a smart feature—it makes opening and closing the tank effortless, and I never have to worry about accidentally squishing one of my spiders or not securing the lid properly. It's a huge relief knowing the enclosure stays sealed, preventing any potential escape or accidents.I also appreciate how durable the acrylic is. None of my enclosures have ever leaked, warped, or bowed, even with long-term use. It’s clear Authentic Joy really prioritizes quality with these tanks. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, secure, and easy-to-maintain enclosure for your tarantulas, this is definitely a winner!

Right now I am using it for my pink toed tarantula and I absolutely love it I will update on the wear of it and how long it lasts but so far everything is great I've had it about a week

I bought one of these and liked it so much I bought a second (and will likely buy a third).Pros:* The acrylic is thick, and quite clear. Craftsmanship is good, with no rough spots or unfinished seams.* Can be used as either a terrestrial or arboreal enclosure. With enough substrate and a smaller spider, you could even use it as a fossorial enclosure.* Can be stacked when using the included rubber feet.* Strong lid magnets, closes securely.Cons:* Not enough ventilation holes for many species that require more ventilation.* The lid on my second one sticks, and needs more force to open and close.* Since the lid only takes up half the top, maintenance and cleanup on one side of the enclose is difficult without long tongs.

This habitat is worth it well designed and with animal needs in mind. Will be purchasing another one soon.

I got my first sand spider and needed an enclosure that emphasized to all that she is not a spider for holding. Acrylic enclosures in general are kind of expensive so was happy to see this for the same price as a nice tarantula enclosure. Very sturdy, I trust it to contain mid-sized venomous spiders and thats saying a lot. This would be a really great enclosure for jumping spiders(or other arboreals) too because its tall and you can fit a lot of things to climb in it.The only thing to consider is how you are going to place it-- it has a narrow base and could be top-heavy if knocked the right way. You could also put it on its side for different critters. It does come with little sticky silicon feet you can put on to make the bottom a little less slick, which helps quite a bit- I've not ever had an issue with the enclosure tipping but I can see a stupid kid knocking it over.

Everything about this enclosure is good except for ventilation.I love the design. It's roomy, seems sturdy (time will tell), and durable. It's not made from that cheap, thin acrylic so many cheap enclosures are saddled with. Overall, almost everything seems great.Unfortunately, the ventilation is lacking. As the photos suggest, there are holes on the sliding door, on the sides, and on the top (depending on how you're setting it up). Many arboreal tarantulas demand and require excellent air flow. The holes provided seem to be inadequate to provide proper air flow for many arboreal species unless the spider likes to hang out near or on the sliding door, which would present its own problems, or unless you're planning to fill 4/5 of the enclosure with substrate which, while more substrate is usually a good thing, would be ridiculous. If I ran the zoo I'd extend the lines of ventilation holes halfway down all panels that currently have holes.Were it not for the ventilation issues, I'd give this 5/5.

My daughter talked me into letting her get spiders! I agreed but only if she buys good enclosures because if one gets out, they go! Luckily for her, these work really well. She still has her spiders and these enclosures are well made!

It's a great design idea but poorly made. In under 6 months the acrylic warped and the enclosure walls started to separate from each other at the seams. I had to brace it with a ton of clear packing tape. Manufacturer needs to work on the adhesive used to bond the acrylic sheets together or switch to a solid one piece design
