Different sized enclosures can be housed on each level, allowing you to keep and display specimens of different sizes as seen here.

And now for the costings:

Display Unit: R85 each
Large Enclosure: R29 each
Heating Pads: R35 each
Lighting Unit: R60 each

Total cost for 12 large enclosures and units to display them in with heating and lighting:

R980

which is less than R100 per enclosure. Not bad if you ask me...

Looks like a handy setup! For tarantulas it could be problematic to have the heat pads directly underneath the enclosures. T's burrow frequently and would place themselves directly on top of the heat source. And if they feel hot, the only direction they would instinctively go when trying to find relief would be down.

The safest option to put a heat pat is along one side of the tanks.
