very nice smithi and graet set up...
whitch kind of leaves is it?

 

[Joe1968]

Thanks for the replies. the dried leaves I collected them in the fall from my yard I got this idea from Prizz, the hide is just an empty plastic peanut butter jar that I cut the rim then I burry it with peatmoss. the aged bark is from an old tree (probly 70-100 years) I stole those barks from BrianS pick-up bed when he came by to visit, LOL. I like to decorate my Ts enclosure I get bored staring at plain substrate. I keep them dry and add a few pill bugs for mite comtrol.

Hey Joe it's looking good I'll bet you miss that bald rump though hehhehe. I like the enclosure too.

hey Brian, yeah she tried to flick hair on me again so I try not to stress her as much, I hate that fleshy looking bald spot before. at one time I just wanna grab a can of black spray paint to cover it, LOL.

btw, is that the same kritter keeper she was in?

Very nice! I love the colors of a freshly molted Brachy.

Man, I love the set up! the leaves are so simple, yet very attractive. How did you ensure that there were no mites on the leaves? Microwave? Great T - I have never owned one of these, but would like to. Looking for the 'least-flicky' among them! Great job!

I was about to ask the same about the leaves.... i have some small ones for the pillbugs to hide but that setup is really awesome (and look very natural) great job!
