I have a 4.5 inch B. hamorii in a 10 gallon tank. She has quite a bit of leg room in there and I wanted to add a piece of decor. She is my only T, so I have the ability to spend a little extra time and effort doing things keepers with larger T collections would want to minimize spending time on or just keep simple, like making sure she gets her prey despite having a little more room.
I was thinking of adding the ExoTerra primate skull to her enclosure. See pics below. I do not want her to use it as a hide since she already has one that she uses on one side her tank and that's worked well. Her current hide is a resin U-shaped cork looking hide (common at Petsmart).
Anyway, for the skull, I was thinking of completely filling up the inside of the skill with substrate (so she or prey can't get in) and then burying it at an angle with about 75% of it into/under her substrate within the enclosure, leaving only about 25% of it exposed above the substrate. I would make sure to completely bury the rear of the skull, which has the sharp and pointy bits around the hole it has. I want it to look like a partially exposed fossil to fit in with a desert theme. This would make it easy for her to walk on if she ever decides to walk on it (it would be the equivalent of a low profile rock).
I was wondering what you all thought about this and if you can see any issue with it? She does not climb (I know that does not mean she can't) and has 6-7in of dry packed down substrate with about 5.5-6in of space between the substrate and the top of the enclosure.
Maybe placing the skull off-center to the right and rear of the tank?
