Tiny terrarium. Still deserves proper design.

Oddball can scale the same custom-thinking we use for reptile enclosures down to the little stuff — without simply shrinking a chunky reptile rock wall. Micro habitats need thinner features, tighter tolerances and much more attention to moulting, webbing, burrowing and escape gaps.

01

Micro backdrops

Thin rear and side panels with bark, soil-bank, stone or natural textures. The goal is usable grip and visual depth without taking over a small enclosure.

02

Anchor points & branch systems

Removable twig sockets, web anchor points, tiny ledges and plant supports can make arboreal insect and spider habitats easier to maintain and rearrange.

03

Burrow-friendly pieces

For burrowing cockroaches, tarantulas and scorpions we can create lightweight starter hides, retaining faces and stable removable structures that do not rely on heavy loose rocks sitting over substrate.

04

Small routine-care accessories

Food-branch holders, tiny bowl recesses, feeding ledges, access panels and other “I wish this little thing existed” pieces are exactly the sort of custom problem we want to solve.

05

How to enquire

Send the enclosure brand/model if known, internal dimensions, clear photos of the vents and door, the exact species, and what you want the habitat to do. For a tiny enclosure, millimetres matter — so the more accurate the measurements, the better.

Quick answers

Common questions.

Can you make pieces for acrylic jumping-spider enclosures?

Yes, provided we have the internal dimensions and door/vent layout. We would generally keep the design thin and removable where practical.

Can you make scorpion or tarantula hides?

Yes. We can make the physical habitat piece, but we will design it around containment and safe tool access rather than encouraging handling.

Do you need the enclosure in your workshop?

Not always. Small removable pieces can often be planned from accurate dimensions and photos, though fit-critical work may need extra measuring or templates.

Have a tiny weird enclosure problem?

Good. Those are fun.

Send the species, enclosure photos and internal dimensions. We can work out whether a micro backdrop, hide, branch mount or one-off accessory would actually improve the habitat.
