The HIVE
$79.95
20.8cm x 24cm x 12cm
Ventilation 1.5mm
Suitable for all species
Designed for jumping spiders, with a focus on welfare, usability and long term durability.
The HIVE features a clean magnetic door system, offering a seamless, minimal front profile while maintaining secure closure and ease of access. Cross ventilation is maximised through a staggered pattern, with intentional buffer zones built in for substrate. This ensures airflow remains effective while allowing the enclosure to be used in both arboreal and terrestrial orientations. Constructed from solid 5mm panels, the HIVE delivers strength, clarity and durability without compromise. The internal lip protects webbing during use, supporting natural behaviours and reducing disruption. A wide front opening allows for straightforward maintenance, decorating and full cleans. The HIVE can be used as a standalone enclosure or paired with our removable, switchable coloured panels, giving you full control over both function and aesthetic.
Every detail has been considered to support both the spider’s behaviour and the keeper’s experience.

Enclosure preparation and care
Before use clean the enclosure thoroughly with water and allow to air dry. Particular care should be taken around any magnets. Do not soak magnetic components and dry them promptly if they become wet. Avoid excessive moisture, high heat and direct sunlight which can warp your enclosure. Acrylic enclosures are not suitable for bio active setups due to the high levels of moisture.
Modular background panels
These enclosures feature optional interchangeable background panels, allowing you to customise the appearance at any time without disturbing your spider.
Panels are magnetically secured and can be easily removed or swapped to refresh the enclosure design, adjust visibility, or suit different setups. This also allows for seasonal or aesthetic changes without replacing the enclosure itself.
***when selecting panel colours please ensure the number of colours matches your chosen panel pack. If too many or two few colours are selected, we will contact you to confirm your preferences before dispatch which may result in a delay to shipping.
Magnetic accessories compatibility
The addition of modular background panels introduces an extra layer of acrylic, which may reduce the holding strength of some magnetic accessories.
If your accessories are not strong enough to attach securely through the panel, we suggest the use of extender magnets between the enclosure and back panel. This will slightly increase the gap to facilitate attachment of your magnetic accessories.
Ensure all magnets are kept dry and free from moisture to maintain long-term performance.
Shipping and returns
Flat rate shipping of $25 applies to all orders containing up to two enclosures. If you require additional enclosures, please place a separate order.
We do not offer returns for change of mind. However, you are entitled to a refund, repair or replacement if your item is faulty, not as described, or does not meet consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law. Please refer to our Returns Policy for further information.
