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!

An absolute beauty and a good webbing species to boot! Sling arrived alive, well-packaged - even the packaging was beautiful! Friendly, patient customer service. Will absolutely return the next time I am in need of spiders or supplies. :)

This enclosure made setting up and caring for my net-casting spider a breeze. Great design, easy access, and holds humidity well. I also recommend getting the mister—gives a perfect, fine mist every time.

Beautiful and fascinating, this female net-casting spider has been a joy to watch. After a brief feeding strike, she’s now eating well. Can’t wait to see her catch something!

They communicated well and they shipped the little ones safely and with care.

The customer service was amazing, they answered all my questions promptly and kindly. They helped me every step of the way and I would/probably will in the future get another spider from them! She arrived safe and sound and is settling in quickly. Such an awesome thing to be a part of!

I recently ordered 2x unsexed Juvenile Western Black widows. Both came alive and well, they're doing great!!!.Living off a diet of flightless fruit flies and small crickets. Thank you Marshall arachnid

This is my first time purchasing anything from Marshall Arachnids, and it was by far the best experiance. The customer service team had emailed me asking me to watch a husbandry video on caring for my ogre spider, and to help find a FedEx location closest to me for pick up. They were very professional and kind at the same time. I ordered a female Cameron Net-Casting Spider and an L.Fallax (not sure if i spelled it right), and then the setup for the Ogre Face spider. Everything came packaged securely and healthy. My spiders are PERFECT. Even the Ogre Faced Spider is a decent size! I will definitely be buying more from Marshall Arachnids. Maybe a male here in the future! Thanks again for such a wonderful experiance!!

You can tell they really take care of all their critters and do amazing with shipping!

If you’re reading this and were on the fence about ordering a spider online, hop off that fence. We placed our first order for an ogre-faced spider and were reached out to within 24 hours. They were very courteous and friendly and even changed our delivery date on short notice to accommodate our schedule. We began this hobby with research and very quickly found them on YouTube, listened to the journey, the knowledge, the respect, and the open mindedness. One can really tell these animals are cared about and they just want that care to spread in their best interest. Our spider came well packaged for the weather overnight and arrived in the morning, very healthy and started netting right away. We ordered a second one a as soon as the first arrived and will definitely be ordering from them in the future!

Spider came healthy and is doing great, will be happy to do business with Marshell Arachnids again😁👍🏻

My beautiful girl arrived safely, very throughly and delicately packed! I was so happy with her as I’ve been waiting close to 2 years to finally be able to grab one! I can’t wait till she gets bigger and shows off her lovely lady bumps.

I received a healthy pair of Ogres from you guys packed amazingly and are surviving well both have molted

I recieved my Ogre Face Net Casting Spider today, along with the enclosure set up for her. I also received my L. Fallax spider and they are both healthy and incredible! I am absolutely in love with my new Ogre Face Spider! Shipping was super fast and the spiders are healthy and exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend Marshalls Arachnids, and will buy from them again.
Good communication, great packaging and I love the purple!
