Full Product Description
One Enclosure. Every Setup.
Most enclosures are built for one animal, one setup, one use case. The Tarantula Cribs Cube SWITCH was built differently.
At 12"x12"x12", it has the footprint and volume to house a wide range of terrestrial and arboreal species comfortably. But what makes it a SWITCH is the system — interchangeable lids, customizable backgrounds, and dual access points that let you configure the enclosure around your animal, your rack, and your setup rather than working around its limitations.
Whether you're housing a large terrestrial tarantula, building a planted bioactive display, running UV for a gecko, or creating a showpiece enclosure for a prized specimen — the Cube SWITCH has a configuration for it.
Key Features
-
Front-Sliding Door — Clean, low-disturbance access from the front for feeding, spot cleaning, and maintenance without disrupting top-anchored webbing or disturbing arboreal setups.
-
Top-Opening Lid — A secondary access point for deep substrate work, rehousing, and full enclosure access when you need it.
-
Modular Lid System — The defining feature of the SWITCH. Swap lids in seconds to change ventilation, humidity, and lighting compatibility without replacing the enclosure itself.
-
Customizable Backgrounds — Swap in a colored acrylic background panel to personalize your display. Your enclosure, your aesthetic.
-
Premium Acrylic Construction — Crystal-clear panels on all sides for full 360° viewing. Durable, scratch-resistant, and built to last.
The SWITCH Lid System
This is what separates the Cube SWITCH from every other enclosure on the market. Choose the lid that fits your animal and your setup — and swap it any time things change.
| Lid Option |
Best For |
| Standard Lid |
General use, balanced humidity and airflow |
| Max Vent Lid |
Arid species, high-airflow setups, drier conditions |
| Aluminum Mesh Lid |
Reptiles, geckos — supports UV lighting and heat lamps |
| Canopy Roof |
+6" of vertical height, arched roof extension |
| Canopy Flat Top |
+6" of vertical height, flat clear acrylic top |
| Canopy Flat with Mesh |

The Canopy lids effectively convert your 12"x12"x12" into an 18" tall enclosure, opening the Cube SWITCH up to larger arboreal species and more elaborate planted builds.

Why Pre-Order?
The Cube SWITCH is produced in runs based on pre-order volume — this is how we maintain quality control and keep lead times honest. There is no sitting warehouse stock. When you pre-order, you are getting an enclosure built for your order.
Estimated ship date: 6 weeks from end of September. Orders are filled in sequence, so earlier pre-orders ship first.
Why Tarantula Cribs?
Every enclosure we make is designed by keepers, for keepers. The Cube SWITCH came from one question: why should a keeper have to choose between a display enclosure, a functional habitat, and a species-specific setup? Now you don't have to. Shop online or visit us in store at www.tarantulacribs.com.
