Awesome! However, is your G(reen)B(ottle)B(lue) (a.k.a. C. cyaneopubescens) a big time webber? That can cause problems with the plant getting enough light. We put a snake plant in our P. murinus enclosure in anticipation of that being a problem.Well, I got my paws on some small plants today that I planted in with my GBB and my G.rosea.. I love the look of them, and the rosea seems very curious about it.. I only had some dry substrate left, and I decided to put it with the rosie, as the GBB usually sits on top of her rock anyways... I had my rosea in a bigger tank, and she seemed very jumpy and unsure in the big enclosure.. Moved her to a smaller one, and she instantly seemed alot more.. Well, confident is a rubbish word, but the only thing I can think of at the moment.. She's strolling around, exploring.. In her previous enclosure she sulked in her hide all the time, flicking hairs at anything. So I'm thinking she's more comfortable in a smaller enclosure.. I built a hide thing with substrate and some sticks.. Looks really neat, I'm proud of meself today!
aqua ~ if you want the cooler enclosures, but are on a limited budget, you have to get things to complete the projects an item or two at a time.(we are always on a tight budget) Spend $5 on a plant one week, then a week or 2 later get some cork bark, get a hot glue gun the next and so on. You can also go hunting for wood.....then it's free! I recommend a forestry, or something like it to do so though. They shouldn't be using pesticides there, but don't use wood from coniferous trees.
All of our enclosures have been done on a budget, so it is possible if you want it bad enough.
