Default What do you keep your inverts in?

Hiya all, as the title says, what do you all keep inverts in? i know a lot of you guys have quite a lot of em, so how do you find space enough for em?? Particularly you large invert keepers! (giant giant snails and mahhussive millipedes anyone?)

I'll get us started, I have... 10 millipedes in a large fish tank, and lots (too many... if anyone wats some... lol) of GALS in faunariums (babies) and RUB's. And 2 larger snails (not yet adult) in a 50L RUB.

Ah you mean the bigger ones. Well in that case most bigger ones are in large fauns, and fish tanks. I have a double 3 ft viv stck waiting for when my Apophs get to adult size ( bearing in mind i haven't even picked up the spiderlings yet lol) i just like to have stuff in advance. I have about 8 big empty tanks waiting

Sold my 5 millies (A.gigas) recently but they were in an 80litre plastic tank
Snails, propagators, RUBs, tubs, faunariums and glass tanks
T's, they're all under 4cm so in small plastic pots
Scorpion, large faunarium
Roaches, big tubs and might put some in a big glass tank

lol awesome. i don't have T's so have no idea what kinda housing they need, but that sounds mahhussive. Got me some huge millipedes and way too many snailies, but cant seem to find a easy space saving way to house them... Trying to get rid of some of the snails before they get too big... Atm it's faunariums lol. but 70-80 GALs fully grown wont live in a few faunariums lol.

I have some of the larger species of Tarantula so they need a bit of space, maybe the tanks are a little bigger but the Apohs can get to dinner plate size so i wanna make sure lol

Most of my bigger Ts are in the faunarium type thingys, although I have a couple of arboreal tanks from House of Spiders and a couple of Custom Aquaria arboreal tanks. My AF king baboon is in an old fish tank with a mesh lid, my AF blondi is in a 2 foot glass tank, and my youngsters are in various plastic tubs from IKEA, ASDA or the pound shop.
