I don't use the styrofoam backgrounds, in part to keep that from happening.

My guys used the cable slots as one of their hides, they never had issues getting out. I flipped the styro over and put the notches at top.

I think if u Apuleius ore dirt in high enough to cover the holes it should be fine

Are there other hiding places and plenty of cover? Silk branches can be purchased at $ stores. My male likes to hide in bamboo.

Sanseveria/snake plants are tough enough to withstand bouncy cresties and assist with ambient humidity.

Yes there are plenty, she rarely goes behind the foam and never has a problem getting out.

Yes, it happens a lot with these backgrounds. I use sphagnum moss to block all accesses so that won't happen

You can also wet paper towel (maybe even mix a little Elmer's glue in) and stuff the openings. Then when it dries you have kind of a paper mache effect.

If this is an issue just buy the cork bark board that fits and screw pieces of wood or cork rounds to it to make a 3D back ground. I plan on trying that in a few weeks when it warms up and im not getting pounded by a blizzard and maybe 2-3ft of snow.

I like this stuff

it's not very expensive (lasts FOREVER), looks nicer, takes up less volume, and is natural.

Ya, Aimless thats the stuff im going to use and attach mopani pieces and cork rounds on angles to use as planters for pathos and stuff.

Pictures will be fine. "How to" unnecessary
