Insect terrarium?

[jordanhunt]

Hi, so it's almost spring when all of the creepy crawlies start to come out and I was thinking of setting up a super mini terrarium for keeping small creatures (zebra spiders, sheildbugs). I could just use a jar but I thought it would be cool to have a tiny terrarium with a small light, so any help or suggestions?

I get small wolf and jumping spiders here but the largest ones are around 7mm, I saw a lil 4.5 inch cube tank with a lid and single led light, that would be really cool for a zebra or wolf spider

Well the largest spider in the uk is the raft or fishing spider, they get around 4 inches, recently a few thousand captive spiderlings were released into the wild because they are an endangered species

Here's a pic of a raft spider
I think they're closely related to wolf spiders, they are extremely aggressive and won't hesitate to bite.

Second largest is the giant house spiderthese guys live all around the uk but only in small areas of the USA, they can get almost 4 inches and I've seen them in my house about 3.5 inches long.
But that's only legspan, we get some pretty fat orb weavers here

Giant house spiders are pretty similar to wolf spiders just less chunky.. Found a solid 2 incher while playing ps3 the other day, wish I would have kept it.

I've seen some pretty gnarly wolf spiders in the midwest, some around 2-3 inches.

Look what I made, perfect for small spiders/insects

I used a tin from lynx/axe deodorant


Here's a link to a youtube video that I made http://m.youtube.com/channel/UCiy_YHmHzSldNNBJwTU7ctA?feature=guide#/watch?v=qETHW_3zth0
