Did you put holes in the top and back as well?

Aslo also add a big piece of cork bark instead of the leaves and sticks. It's easier for the T use as a hide and incorporate it into their sock web burrow.

No I have not. I was copying another users design on the forum and I noticed they didnt. So i didn't either. Should I?
I always give my arboreal's a large piece of corkbark. I also usually add holes to the front and back or each side for cross ventilation.

Ok cool. I can grab a piece of cork bark and add some holes to the probably the back. Thanks for your help. Always nice to have a second opinion.

Right, twigs and sticks are great for chameleons and mantids...but not for ts. The purpose of the wood is a stable platform for the t to anchor web from, hunt from, stretch out on and move around on safely.

Just add a nice broad piece of wood and the set up will be much better.

I also agree on adding ventilation to more sides (not sure how possible that would be with glass though).

edit: sounds like you're on the right track.

So should i remove the sticks and put just wide piece of wood in or just add to what i already have in there? YouTube is going to be my friend to try to figure out how to drill holes in glass.

As long as you add the new wood, I don't think it matters too much.

I would keep some leafy cover, especially in the top half of the enclosure.
