Default Naturalistic Vivariums for Strophurus

Hello all,

Weather permitting I will have pairs of S. taenicauda, S. strophurus, and S. spinigerus arriving in the next few weeks. I have spare Zoomed 12"x12"x18" terrariums already that I would like to setup for them in as natural a manner as possible. Any suggestions, or even better pictures, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Here's a 5 gallon viv I had a few years back. It successfully housed 1.1 Strophurus williamsi and 1.1 Diplodactylus vittatus for over a year before I sold them off. I'd often find both species in the same hide.

Great vivariums! Thanks all. I really appreciate it. How humid are you keeping these guys?

Thanks,

Steve

i find a light spray every 2 to 3 days is ample for drinking and humidity for these guys.

Hey Steve,
Sounds like you're getting quite a Strophurus haul. Here are a couple of S. ciliarus tanks. I've had a lot of luck keeping them in semi arid conditions. I use Zoomed 18x24s for my breeding tanks and use live succulents and tillandsia which I soak every few weeks in a fish tank.
Good luck,
Sean

I always did a light spray down every other day, just like the rest of my Aussies (except Phyllurus, of course). The room humidity wanders between 45-60% and inside their vivs it would be anywhere between 45-55% average.

If they like semi-aridness, I'd suggest Snake plant (Sansiveria). They are a really cool plant and like less water!

there are some awesome setups on this thread i really like the naturalistic look, i had lots of branches , green plant like vines and golden vine in my spiney tail tanks but i realised crickets were hiding in the crevices.So i ended up taking it all out and just leaving some branches in.
