I like the carpet Selaginella species, or spike mosses, can make in moist tanks. That's also another low-lighter.

Love my Ts. And I love my booze (but tarantulas still take priority). :biggrin:

Food for mommy and babies! :) If you're wondering why they're all on their backs, I prefer to feed pre-killed prey to these guys. :)

Don't hesitate to let me know if my pictures are getting boring/repetitive! :)

Updates! :) I've been growing some mistletoe cactus from seed for a few months now. They seem to grow ridiculously slow.

Eventually the galleries will get pretty large. I think I've got a few years before my plants are this size. http://www.myrmecos.net/ants/Hydnophytum.JPG

Looks great! But won't the Sansevieria outgrow it? And the bulb appears to be the wrong color temp.?

Ebay! I got mine from this guy. He lists stuff almost every week.

Very cool! I'd love to see one with some H. gigas/H. incei too! :)

Thanks! And yeah, I was SHOCKED at how expensive it was. But it was a fun build, and I'd love to do it again if I can ever afford to. The brom in the center is browning up a bit, unfortunately. I added a Neoregelia 'Fireball' and Microgramma lycopodoides cuttings recently.

Just for decoration. It does complement the plants rather nicely. :)

I'll second this. Selaginella erythropus is a pretty cool one.

In nature, I'm pretty sure it's selective. But in the confines of a terrarium, I'm sure it's possible to force some species to inhabit them. Cross-sectional shots of the galleries these plants grow look extremely similar to some of the plaster formicaria I've seen. At the National Botanic Garden...

If I did it right, there should be very little maintenance. It should be self-sustainable. Maybe a few mistings per day until everything has rooted. Daily misting if I decide to do frogs. :)

Thanks Jason! :) Joey Deluxe - Itsy Bitsy Spider

A little video: SrfGfR7fgj8 I feel like these guys are underrepresented considering how often they are discussed. :)

None yet, unfortunately. I'm living in an apartment this year, and frogs are a bit more conspicuous ($500 fine for unapproved pets) than tarantulas or small geckos, especially in a tank this size. :(

There's a thread floating around regarding a vivarium contest. This would be my entry if I could find it. I was enthralled by some of the amphibians' vivaria at the National Zoo. And then I was even more enthralled by the awesome tanks on the internet. I joined and browsed a dart frog website...

I've had good luck starting burrows next to the glass of a vertical aquarium. They're entire burrows are visible for a few weeks before they get webbed over completely. Here are the enclosures I keep my burrowers in. I wish I had a shot of my late H. vonworthi's visible burrow...
