Hey guys.

So I've never posted a thread with proper pictures of my T's and today most of them were posing alright except for that darn B. vagans of mine thats always underground.
So here are a few pictures of them and how my tanks look at the moment;

Pamphobeteus sp Machalla sling (2cm)

Unfortunately Mr vagans did not feel like coming out today. So.... No photo :(

Aren’t those tanks a little to high?
Other than that I think your tanks are beautiful.

Hate to say it, but they're DEFINITELY too high. Exception being maaaaybe the leftmost one in the last photo, depending on the inhabitant. Nice spiders though.

I personally would add more substrate, my own rule of thumb is always at least 1/3-1/2 way of the enclosure for substrate for NW terrestrial T.'s.

I usually don’t get as excited about ceiling height as everyone else, but in this case I would add more substrate.

Great setups! They look fantastic.

You know that SNL skit about NEEDS MORE COWBELL? I want to make a meme from it that's like GOTTA HAVE MORE SUBSTRATE!

Or I wouldn't really make it, so someone else should.
But yeah, throw some more dirt in those lovely enclosures and then you are good to go!

Don't think so.
I would add more substrate for sure... Way too much vertical height and honestly just not enough sub, even without the vertical height. That LP needs like 5" of sub with how much height you have...

I love your LP though, can't wait until mine starts showing full colors like that.
