I really like this enclosure, just rehoused my roatan purple into it! I plan on getting more soon!
Title says it all. You get great air flow. Plenty of room for the type. High build quality. My spiders love them. Easy viewing as well.
These cages are very well made. Thick heavy and spectacular. I purchased three terrestrial and one arboreal cages. All arrived well packed and flawless. Shipping did take some time, but it was so worth the wait.
I purchased two of the new 7x4x4 purplebox enclosures and they are absolutely gorgeous. My purplebox arboreal enclosure is one of the few acrylic enclosures I've been satisfied with. Other brands have all experienced lid warping. With that in mind, I was excited to try out these new terrestrial appropriate enclosures.
I have not put them in use yet, but I will say that the acrylic for the lids is very thick (it appears to be roughly 1/4" - I did not measure). Other brands I've tried have lids that are about half that thick.I honestly have no concerns that it will warp. The sliding mechanics are also much smoother than any other brand I've tried. The taller handle is a nice touch.
Another feature I really prefer is that the acrylic that holds the magnets is one long bar along one end, and do not create a lip either all the way around, or blocking each corner, like other designs.
And of the course, the purple color of the base is amazing :) I recommend adding the feet as they are high-quality, soft, and sit square. There is no rocking if you're on a flat surface.
Awesome craftsmanship, great price, and exactly what I was looking for!
Let customers speak for us
from 262 reviewsHave a replacement tank since original was cracked on arrival. Fast response and positive thank you for great customer service
I ordered two unsexed juvenile Western black widows spiders and was lucky enough to get two females. They were shipped same-day and arrived overnight, well packed and in great health. They've both molted and eaten and everything seems to be going well! Thank you to Marshall Arachnids for my little companions! :)
I love the color and you can never go wrong with Tarantula Cribs. I like the ventilation slats, it's different
Simply the best on the market.
Received the cutie not too long ago and it's already molted! It takes down it's prey with vigor, such an amazing and rare tarantula for a great price! Marshall's is now my go-to for inverts
Amazing people who raise great, healthy animals! Couldn't be happier with my Tarantula!
They clearly care a lot about getting you your animals healthy, safe, and happy. They check your local weather, look for local pickup locations that will work, and coordinate the pickup date/time. And on this order of 3 widow spoods, they made sure to pick me out at least one definite female, possibly 2.
I just wish they'd get some of those awesome enclosures back in so I can buy more!!
Super fun to watch grow and has become one of my most impressive pets. Every time I’ve asked care questions, I’ve received helpful answers. I named her Muffin, photo is after a recent molt and feeding
Bought a 1/2 unsexed that died in 1.5 weeks. Ordered this one after and everything is good so far.
Spood is a cutie, communicative service.
Both came alive and beautiful
I really like this enclosure, just rehoused my roatan purple into it! I plan on getting more soon!
Loved that they were communicative. And if any problems arise, they were solved quickly. Fast responding and the spider came in perfect health! Definitely ordering again.
I’m so excited about my new addition. Customer service was great and very helpful. I highly recommend Marshall Arachnids. Thank you! I’m so happy.
Exceptional customer service. I contacted them back in January to check their show schedule and they were super communicative as to which show they'd be at and if they had anything I was interesting in. They let me know what they'd have in stock which helped me plan which enclosures to get. At the show they were super patient while I picked and the spiders themselves were super well started. They were also larger than expected and amazing value for the price! Both settled in and ate within days of arriving home. The first one just molted yesterday and they've only been with me for about two weeks! Between the customer service and the health of their animals I would definitively recommend them any time! Don't hesitate to reach out to them if you have questions too! They're super friendly!
