M. rubustum juvenile

[firben]

Hello.
I took some pictures of my rubustum just before i gave it a bigger encloser...
The new cage is quite a bit bigger, and it has allready turned everything upside down... a HUGE hole... but here are a few pictures of it:

I know it looks risky, but i have tested it thourougly.... gave the cage an decent shake, and it seems like the stones (they are actually pepples) are quite rigidly stuck....

But good point anyway! borrowing T's need safened decoration....

I glue moss all over the place in my enclosure.. looks more natural too.. XD XD

hello,
Thanks for al your replies and sugestions,

Karin, are you sure hot glue is ok? i am not sure if it could emit dangerous substances when combined with water... i have occasionaly used hot glu in my bathroom and due to the humidity, it never holds... maybe the water could wash off something dangerous off it,....
BlkCat, thanks! more to come as it grows up... ;-)
zahiro, it is hust a juvenile.. i guess 3-4 mont...

Great looking T firben!

I've used hot glue in some of my enclosures before and used to think it was the best thing in the world for attaching bark, rocks, etc. Lately though, since I've been playing around a bit with higher humidity (I know...not necessary....it's just something to keep me occupied ), the glue hasn't been holding. I don't think it's toxic for the T but it'a a pain in the butt to have to reglue everything every few weeks.

Hm.. i used hot glue so far with no problems at all.. =)
