For those currently keeping masobe, I would love to hear your critiques on this enclosure. I plan on adding a hide.

Thank you in advance.

Looks good, that background may become a problem over time (I assume its a zoo med one) due to insects hiding behind it.

Mine make use of cork tubes for hides a long with ground shelters.

Thanks Derek

Awesome, I plan on adding hides but not until I add the animals. The background has GE Sealant holding it into place so crickets cant get behind it.

I am concerned with the bonsai gravel though, I figure I will cover it up with some of the substrate, better safe than sorry.

Terrarium looks great. As long as the background doesn't have any cracks big enough for the crickets to hide, it should be OK.

You can easily put some substrate over the bonsai gravel. I do the same, if necessary.

I usually put a small tunnel-shaped piece of cork in from of every hide entrance to make the animals feel secure. Masobe like very dark hiding places. I've never seen them outside during the day.

Cork tubes probably work fine, I just don't like them personally. I always want to be able to access the animals, if necessary.

Bruce,

Where are you in Upstate NY? If our interests align perhaps we can work on a couple of breeding projects. I'm always looking to find people that have the same species so that we can diversify blood lines.

Hi,

I find the terrarium very beautiful! I use cork tubes but it is true what Matjaz mentioned with the access to the animals. I have a large cork tube/branch in one of my female's terrariums and if I want to check her I always have to wait until she comes out at night. Once I had a sick female and her favourite hiding place was also a cork tube so I didn't want to put it away from her because I thought it would make her feel even mor uncomfortable. Fortunately the tube could be divided in two pieces and I was able to remove the upper part when I needed to find her. I use this in some of my terrariums maybe this is a possibility

Outstanding enclosure. On the topic of substrate. Are you saying that the only substrate is gravel?

[postskunk]

Big Leagues Bruce, I'm jealous. I like the tank too looking good, keep up the good work
