Almost done! Heres some blurry pics (sorry :/) This is my natural viv for my picta male. He loves it so much more than what he was in before, he's far more active. Temps go from 75 cool, 80 mid, and 85 hot spot. Humidity baselines at 50% and spikes to about 85%. What do you guys think? Thanks for looking









and heres the little guy

I guess we're all speechless. It's a beautiful viv and I never thought to use a half log that way.

Thank you so much !! I am just waiting on some moss to drape over the top of it to obtain the old rotten stump kind of look. My picta's favorite spot is the too of that log he's always up there. But thanks again for the comment!

it's a wonderful viv, very naturalistic, compliments!!!!
But one thing, how can you manage to keep clean such a small piece of forest??

[tstratton]

Springtails, isopods, and feeding outside the viv . I already established a colony of springtails inside it and the isopods seem to eat all the poop in there before I get home from school! Thanks so much for looking!

Oh, and I have a question for anyone who keeps natural vivs, do you know of any live moss that spreads rapidly, I've been researching but still can't seem to find out what moss is the easiest spreading, any suggestions? Thanks

Looks ok to me but I beleive picta prefer sand, and isn't the humidity too high for these guys? Java moss works well

[tstratton]

Thanks for the response. As far as I've read between 50 and 80 percent humidity suits these guys best, and since I researched their natural habitat, it seems their from the forest so no sand I think. Either way I wouldn't want to risk impaction. But thanks for looking!

I've kept paroedura on sand for a long time and never had issues with impaction
