Another shot of the first tank picnic posted for my C. Schioedtei. My first attempt at using foam... worked pretty well, tho part of the foam shrank/collapsed since I used gorilla glue to secure to glass. Making sure t's have hiding places is essential, whether it's with a cork tube or branches and plants.

My P. Striata girl is pushing close to 8".
I find making the enclosures so much fun, tho prefer arboreal vertical ones then terrestrial which give you less options I feel.

If people are generally trying to make their enclosures resemble natural settings, I don't understand why so many people ignore the floor of the setups. I've seen elaborate setups with cork and plants and vines, but the soil is left alone. Walk through anywhere in nature where spiders appear, and you'll see leaf litter, twigs, moss, etc on the ground. It's very easy to create that look in an enclosure, yet many people overlook the detail. Ruins the entire setup in my opinion as it looses it's authenticity...

Because in ten minutes any leaf litter I put in there is buried anyhow they make it look more natural by digging and webbing

With burrowers, obligate or even opportunistic, then yes that can be an issue, but arboreals not as much. Providing hides often helps prevent too much rearranging in my experience.Vertical cork rounds usually get excavated by my poecs and psalmoeps, but it's easy to remove the webbed dirt clods they toss out lol.

Looks nice but I would be careful with those lights especially inside the cage they can get really hot I'd be afraid of the t burning itself if it touched it let alone maybe drying out the enclosure. But it looks very nice

Ephebopus uatuman 4x8x12 with 8"+ of substrate.
The 2.5-3" juveniles have already burrowed to the opposite bottom corner. from a 3.5" starter hole, they have used almost all of the moss and leaves to make the turret mounds.

@Blackout14 Both lights are LED and give off no heat I set up and tested the enclosed for a good 2 weeks before placing the T in. Thank you for the heads up anyway!

My Phlogius crassipes (Australian T) is in a huge tank with 2 levels, in the wild her burrow can be 1-2 metres (3-6 foot) deep so I like to give her lots of room to move, she takes the substrate from the top level and builds tunnels on the lower level, I can still see her from the false bottom. I must remember to upload a picture. She comes out when shedding to get some water from her dish, she is tropical so I keep the humidity high in the tank with daily sprays of water and a good warm room temperature all year round. Charlotte is 5 this year and loves crickets the most.

You should make a build thread for something like this, very nice indeed.

Thank you, I am noting the positive comments on my bioactive vivariums!

I must not take all the glory! as it is a friend that builds these glass vivs for his business, I just help plant my own and set them how I want. I would do a big post with pics of all my vivs for people to see but dont know the rules on pretty much advertising my friends services.

There's nothing wrong with taking pics of your vivs and posting. If however you are taking pics and then dropping a link to his/her site, might be an issue. Just put in the text PM me to learn the company who made them.
