After seeing in this tread people had gotten some nice boxes from Michael's, I swung by there this week. Unfortunately, they only had one left and it was on clearance. A brocklehursti inside. Sorry about the condensation, fresh substrate and sitting by the lamp.

Terrestrial/T. stirmi set up - Updated pics

Here are a couple new pictures of my fem. ~8in T. stirmi tank. It's a 50 gal Perfecto reptile habitat w/ sliding screen top, 8-10 bricks of Eco-Earth, live plants include three types of moss a creeping ficus and a Brazilian broad leaf plant the name of which escapes me. I have a 20w Plant bulb, a 100w red heat lamp, heat pad on one end of the tank and a Zoo Med Reptifogger.

The heat lamp and Reptifogger are plugged into a Zoo Med Hygrotherm which is set to keep humidity at 85% and daytime temp at 80 degrees (gets about 5 degrees warmer right under the bulb) and has a photosensor that allows for a night time drop which I have set to 8 degrees below day time temp.

I apologize for the water droplets on the front glass. I had just got done setting up the Hygrotherm and had sprayed the moss while I was in there and neglected to wipe the glass because the pics were an afterthought.

That little hole in the ground is one of two entrances to Shelobs burrow. She has spent the last week or two doing a lot of excavation which was fun to watch! Anyway, she blocked up the hole, then unblocked it and now she's blocked it again. I am wondering if closing off the burrow could be some sort of pre-molt behavior? as she has made it big enough, I think, in the front half of her burrow to molt in there.

By the way, there's an L4 Spiny Flower Mantis in the deli container on top of the light strip(which serves as nice gentle "under tank" heat for the mantis.

T. stirmi habitat

36x18x18 T. stirmi habitat

Well, it's been a bit over 4 months since the plants were put in and they are starting to take hold and fill the tank that my ~8in female T. stirmi lives in so I thought I'd post some new pictures.
