Female
Lightbulb Keeping a Fat Tail happy!

Hey guys! Im new to this site and recently purchased my first AFT! I've already fallen in love with him and have spent days researching the breed. (I'm already looking at getting another, perhaps a female so he has a companion!)

Just wondering what everyone has in their terrariums to keep an AFT happy and active

I've already got him 30 gallon tank with 3 hides, both real and plastic plants, a Magnaturals dripper and a nice piece of wood to climb on! Looking for anything out of the ordinary that maybe I have not thought of or any products you think would be a good addition! He is already super spoiled

Also, has anyone had an experience with feeding Dubia Roaches to AFTs? I've heard and read that they are one of the best things to feed any reptile, but also know that most AFT are relatively picky and like crickets the most, as well as crickets being a better food supply over worms.

This is Xavier!

My AFT's seem happiest with a snug hide where they can essentially spend all their time. I have one small group in a planted tank (picture below from a few years ago) and they spend nearly all their time over on one side piled up in the hides.
