since I only keep a few T's I like to give them a little extra space to grow a little longer undisturbed. So I picked this thing up on sale 50% off ($10). picked up a roll of screen from the hardware store. the entire interior space is 4.5" x 4.5", so my .5" sling can be in there for a while. It comes with a packet of gravel to put in the center square and the whole thing is supposed to be filled with water. Also comes with betta food and stuff (trash lol). I melted some tiny vent holes (a little ugly, but effective), and hot glued a screen to the open top. Then I filled the surrounding area with sub mixed with the gravel after i washed it off, and used the center area for a water dish, put small fake plants by the walls, and voila! I replaced the green plant on the left with a pink one, which worked out, cause it immediately made that area it's home. I was concerned I over-vented, but the humidity holds steady for a couple days, at which point a light misting of the walls restores it. After 8 days, the T is doing fine (save for the fact that it arrived with a deformed leg, which it removed in the previous enclosure.. sigh. other 7 legs and palps are ok).
