Hi Martin,
Very nice (as usual!). Is that Pothos sp. you are using and if so, what species?? Could you also describe the lighting you are using (and also how you regulate tmeperatures if/because of the lights)??

Also, do you use other plant genera/species and what would you most recommend??

Thanks,
Steve-o

No. That is normal sunshine. But it must go trought window.

you mean light from a lamp from outside the terrarium?

Here's two shots of my versicolor tank. You can see the light fixtures in the first pic. In the tank I have two lemon button ferns, one pink fittonia, a bromeliad, a philodendron sp., a tillandsia sp., and one Cryptanthus bivittatus. The background is coco husk fiber.

Here's a better idea...put some geckos in the tropical enclosure and put the blondi in a tank with dry dirt and a water dish because they don't actually need it to be a tropical enviornment to thrive...they actually prefer it dry

how come every care sheet ive read and everybody ive asked has said the exact opposite? :?

nice set up btw

I found this terrarium for a blondi on the internet:

And this is my own terrarium for my blondi:

epipe, what is along the backside of your tank in that 2nd pic? I'm going to make a cool blondi setup in the next 6 months and i'm getting ideas now.

Hello,

here're some example's of my "rainforest" tanks:

A. geniculata

P. ornata (the old tank)

P. ornata (the new tank)

@epipe
Really nice tank set ups, I like them. But I think your T. blondi would prefer a little bit more substrate.

Best regards,

Ingo
