Hi everyone, I just joined the forum because of some concerns about the enclosure I'm building.
I've had (and I still have) a few pedes, mostly S. Cingulata and S. Oraniensis and I'm about to get a S. Dehaani 'malaysian cherry red', for which I've already set up the terrarium.
It's a plastic tub measuring 34 cm (13 inches) long, 18 cm (7 inches) wide and 15.5 cm (6 inches) tall. It is practically completely escape-proof but I'm aware the ceiling is very very low, considering i've put a few inches for substrate, so I assume it would take a second for the Dehaani to escape if I were to leave the enclosure open for a while. I also have another plastic box, much taller and slightly bigger in general. I'd stick to the smaller one just because the pede is not fully grown and i'd prefer to keep it in a more restrained enclosure until it completely grows up. What would you recommend me to do?
This is the smaller box compared to my hand to get an idea of its size.
