    The only thing that would make this tutorial better would be links to the products. I'm having trouble finding exactly what I want for my first jumping spider, so I'm DIYing one. This helps so much!

    Thank you! It doesn't has a brand because it is a local product and the drill bit size is around 2.2 mm, but I suggest you to use 3 mm drill bit, for a better air circulation.

    Wow this looks really good. I'm hoping to build something similar. May I ask if the drill bit you used is one of the nail drill attachments or the long protruding thing that comes out of the nail drill that the drill attachments fit onto?

    I don't really get what you mean by drill attachments but here's what I can explain 😂 The nail drill comes with several drill bits that are used for sanding, not for making holes. So I bought a new drill bit and a drill collet that matches the drill bit size. I attached the drill bit by putting the collet in the nail drill.

    So i was thinking of making one of these for my pet spider when i get it, but i searched up "acrylic glue fuse toxic fumes" and it said it takes months for the glue to stop giving off fumes, and i think it will kill the spider, so i want your opinion on this because you make these enclosures for your spiders. Will the fumes kill my spiders?

    Some pieces need to be bigger, of course, if you want to have it glued nice and tidy. Some part of the sheets you have to add the size by the thickness of the sheet. Also, if you want to make the enclosure taller or wider.
