Marshall Arachnids has collaborated with Tarantula Cribs to BRING BACK the original purplebox acrylic enclosure, only this time with a few improvements! This model of the popular purplebox features 5mm acrylic panels, our signature purple bottom and 2mm "hexed" ventilation slats. New features include a polished and more robust door track, as well as a low profile integral pull tab. Front opening, magnetic sliding door.
This enclosure is ideal for spiderling - juvenile arboreal tarantulas, mantises and other invertebrates under 5". We also find it useful for rearing gecko hatchlings.
**CAUTION** Anything 2mm or smaller (size of a Melanogaster hydei fruit fly) CAN fit thru the ventilation slats.

Absolutely love this product. It was the perfect new addition for our caribena versicolor. 100% recommend.
I think the box is high quality nice thick clear acrylic with good cross ventilation just what I needed for my Caribena Versicolor but I do wish the top opened up
Product - 10/10
I know they are manufactured with Tarantula Cribs now, but the Marshall enclosures are much prettier and the doors slide WAY better (esp. with some T poop gumming it up). I really have to force open the standard TC ones and it stresses the spiders, but the Marshall ones slide open like butter and I'm still confident they are magnet secure when closed.
Service - 10/10
Bought a much smaller boxy enclosure from a popular (but now I’ve realized) overpriced brand before I discovered Marshall Arachnids. MA has my business from now on! I’m very pleased with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!

Very impressed with Marshall Arachnids! Excellent, quick communication and were very helpful. Excited to be part of project safety net.

Absolutely delighted with the customer service, communication and the C. versicolor slings I received! Ordered first thing in the morning and they were on their way to me that afternoon. The slings are bigger than I expected and arrived well packaged. They are settling in nicely. Can't wait to make more purchases from Marshall Arachnids!!!

The bundle is worth so much and you pay an extremely reasonable price. The business is professional and has great communication. Fast shipping. Couldn't be happier. Absolutely will shop this business again

Everything went well. Little guy is FAST!

My very first T and probably not my last! handled with care. And very very beautiful T

Awesome spider! great vial along with it ,packed professionally will purchase again highly recommended

I purchased two Caribena versicolor slings from Marshall Arachnids and they arrived, among many other Ts, in excellent condition. Both slings have been growing rapidly, have extraordinarily vibrant colors, and huge appetites. I highly recommend Marshall Arachnids’ tarantulas to all!

T is great customer service is better. Definitely recommend!

My first time buying tarantulas and they came in perfect condition. They answered all of my questions. I will definitely be purchasing from them again!!

So just got the megamix. My first impression is that soil is a wonderful organic mix. You can see, smell and feel the difference in this substrate compared to any others ive used. I really love that a complete list of ingredients is given. I fully believe this will be a great mix for my bioactive enclosure in the long run.
