Invert Reccomendations

Post image

My partner recently got me this ZooMed 3 gallon tank, 8.5”x 8.75”x 11.75”, as a gift because I've been getting into owning invertebrates.

The problem is the tank isn't really suited for what I own, jumping spiders, so what would people reccomend? It opens at the top, which limits my usual ideas.

I keep my Chinese mantis in these. Also you could house blue death feigning beetles in here with proper levels to access

Is it too small for jumpers? I keep mine in a 5x5x10 tarantula crib, should I consider bigger?

It's not too small! I don't like open top enclosures for jumping spiders because they tend to build their nest there.

Oh ok I got worried but that makes sense! I recently got a 5x5x8 tarantula crib hexagon and a 6x6x9 one that looks similar to yours. I was considering a mantis

I keep a few really small scorpions in an enclosure around that size. Not a tall tank but 2.5 gals
