Introduction
Whether you keep spiders, scorpions, or other exotic invertebrates, the enclosure you choose impacts their health and your peace of mind. At Frogfather, we’ve developed 3D-printed enclosures that prioritise security, ventilation, and observation — all without the weight or fragility of glass.
Why Use 3D-Printed Terrariums?
Traditional glass tanks are heavy, fragile, and often poorly ventilated. Our 3D-printed vivariums are lightweight, escape-proof, and feature precision-cut vents to balance humidity and airflow.
Security First
Each unit includes a sliding front door for secure feeding and spot cleaning. The fit is snug to prevent escape while allowing fast access when needed.
Habitat Setup
Whether you’re housing a tarantula or a tail-less whip scorpion, the depth of these enclosures supports layers of substrate, hides, and decor. Consider using:
- Organic substrate with leaf litter
- Cork bark or vertical driftwood
- Bioactive cleanup crew like springtails
Lighting & Heat
While many inverts don’t require lighting, some heat may be beneficial. Always monitor enclosure temperatures and avoid direct contact with heat mats. We’re developing mountable heat-safe light clips for these use cases.
Cleaning Tips
Spot clean weekly and replace substrate monthly. You can rinse the enclosure using lukewarm water — the materials are waterproof and safe to clean.
Conclusion
Our 3D-printed range is the modern choice for invertebrate keepers. Check out the base display vivariums if you’re looking for affordable, stylish spider housing.
