seems like they would work just fine granted you got the right size for the right number of animals. im keeping some mossies in mine.
Mike,
What did you think of the foam background? I did not get one because of that but I am looking at them again and I think I might get a few for the Phantasticus, and Guentheri. I think I will just replace the background with some corkbark or tree fern panel. I do like the front opening and the holes in them for cords and mysting systems.
How is yours working out?
Thanks
Mike

Mine isn't bad either, but I was puting some sticks in and I accedently hit the foam and now I got a bit of a small hole in it. I still like mine though.

the way it was described to me, it sounded like you could easily poke holes in the background to put things in there. after i bought one i learned otherwise. forgot to mention that.

that foam sucks! exo knows it. replace it with something real!
as for plants, use any speanwarts, peperomia or creeping begonia, cisssus ( on the floor of the tank) and some dwarted and regualr fucus trees!

that's mine when i first set it up, id say roughly 3 or 4 months ago. it has filled out A LOT since then. the gravel is where i was gonna have some shallow water, but i obviously scratched that idea when i found out mine leaked.

could I get an updated pic, and the plant types you have in there, and what you use as your major water source since the pond idea got scratched.

what's that white stuff on the bottom? IMO you should use thinner branches, something in the 1/8" - 1/4" range through out. nice cage though, i like the front doors. what is the humidity in that thing? i though it would have too much top ventilation for urophants...as my little boy calles them now...
have you tried a ficus tree in there? it would replace all the brances you have
and ad a bit of consistancy to it's apperance i think. just my 2 cents...

most plants found other then ficus are grasses, bromes and orchids. not much more then that. not many short busy plants other then ferns.
the weeds or grasses are creeping by nature and enjoy the leaf litter. moss is good too for the ground.
the phants are found in close distance to water; streams, where there are taller plants but near the bushy area where they inhabit it's mostly flat with
grasses, leafs, etc. a fern or so but nothing with big leafs. those plants happen close to the water.
there is a video that you can about madagascar and many sites have owners with many photos and personal notes on the terrain, flora and such that can help. if you want to learn more look for images Ranomafana and Andasibe as well as other areas they've been seen.

as for an updated pic - i dont think that will happen soon, sorry...my computers are screwing up on me at the moment (both at the same time). just imagine that with the foliage more filled out. and deven, i wouldnt worry about the cage setup of mine, you might have thought i was keeping phants in there, but its really just some mossies. that's the reason for the thicker branches. i often use ficus with my phants.

would a repacement of the fake rock background for a slab of corkbark be a good idea?

sure! just be sure it fits well otherwise crix will hide and then later, eat eggs.
