Thank you unclechewy. for the rock formation i carved into a 4" styrofoam board with a fine cutter blade(i also used my fingers to break pieces from the board to make it look more natural), a heatgun to round the edges and .. my imagination:tongue:
I will post some new pics soon with another enclosure.

Not the best picture, but this is the vivarium I just set up for my female Scolopendra subspinipes de hanni. Nothing too fancy, gravel bottom topped off with a sand/peat mix. I put a young spider plant in and surrounded that and the grapewood with some new zealand sphagnum moss.

Jar is 40 oz.

A setup with a 5.5 gallon turned on end for my P. regalis, I used 2 pieces of wood with some vine wrapped around for looks with about 2" of peat moss for substrate. The water dish looks like a leaf and is visible in pics 1 & 2. I used hotglue on most everything to keep it stable.

it aint a comp!!

sick set up tho!!

This setup is for my first T, an A. Avicularia. Originally he was in a sideways kritter keeper, but I decided I wanted something that looked a little nicer.

(The water dish was originally in front of the castle. of course that's where the little bugger decided to make his web, so I had to move it.)

The tape strips on the opening are temporary until i can get my hands on some wire mesh.

The tank comes out of "Lee's Round Betta Kit", as does the gravel. Substrate is Cocohusk, kept damp for higher humidity. The castle came from the fish section of petco.
Measurements: 6.2 x 6.2 x 8 inches

Here is a 18X18X24" Exoterra tank that I just finished to house my newly acquires female Cyriopagopus sp. "blue". She still has a molt or two until she is ready for this tank but it will give the tank time to grow in. The pictures are before and after the plants were added. Set up was the same as for my female Cyriopagopus schioedtei.

are those real plants you put in the enclosure? i am growing a few pothos plants, but are ferns safe like i hear pothos are the most ideal plant that is being used in a lot of humid seeking enclosures.

Woot! I am not the only one who took advantage of the half moon terrarium. Though Noname's, my A. metallica, terrarium has selufane over a portion of the holes on top just to keep more moisture in it. She tends to hang out under the covered side more than the open side. I like it.. I still have yet to get cork background but she seems to climb the tank with ease. It does help that she had a giant tree limb that runs from the floor to the top and them reaches from one side to the other. Very pretty set up I am very jealous >.>

Also I found she does enjoy her little habitat. She has her three main areas and is actively hunting/exploring at night. Just waiting on that molt she is due for. Should be interesting getting the molt out of this terrarium without disturbing her and or breaking the molt.

This is my T. stirmi tank. Perfecto small animal/reptile enclosure with sliding screen top. 36X18X17, 6 or 7 (can't remember) bricks of Eco-earth, cork bark burrow with a couple pieces of drift wood. I have a 20w fluorescent light and use a combination of red lamp amd heat pad when needed to boost the temp. currently, 2/3 of the top is covered with glass to maintain humidity.
