He's in the juvie "terrestrial" enclosure from Jamies. It's 4x4x6 i believe. He started a burrow in it this weekend but we also found a mold spot in the substrate so we dumped it, cleaned it, and rehoused him with new substrate and decorations. My son removed the hide though hoping he'd create his own burrow. I'm thinking i should put it back in since he's just on dry cocofiber now. I have to drill it for more ventilation but didn't think of that until we got it back together and him inside. Didn't want to irritate him anymore than we already had.

I don't like that enclosure, with the front screen vent you can't put any more substrate in it than there is now. It'd be good for an aboreal if you drilled ventilation holes. I'll be going to town this coming weekend and will look for a better sized enclosure. Possibly the mini kritter keeper, it's 7"Hx4.5"Wx5"L That way he'll have more substrate to burrow in, better ventilation (after i drill holes) and more room to grow before i have to upgrade size and rehouse him again.
Jamie's- good product.

Rehoused my GBB, Flash, today. he attacked my brush when I was guiding him into the catch cup so I gave him a giant meal worm for being a good sport and making it easy.

My son finally got around to cleaning Marley's enclosure. Here's her 'new' home, one of the Dalle Craft mentioned in another thread.

Finally remember to take some pics! Feed early this week, smaller roaches for a snack. Roj, my B. sabulosum was looking cool -

Must have been sleeping though. I dropped the roach in front of her and she got pissed.

Only one that will reliably throw a pose for me.

Here's Moe, my B. Albo -
20170209_200605.jpg


He's about twice as hairy maybe as missingno, my son's B. albo. Curious if he's Nicaraguan or just a hairy Honduran?

My biggest T, miss Redrum was hanging out waiting for food. She's a solid 3.75" DLS.

A. chalcodes, Astrid-

Missingno, B. Albo, he's just as hairy add mine so that answers that question.

Spring is here, more of my Ts are out and about so I took a bunch of pics. Finally broke in the new cell phone camera lol.

First, my LP, Chum. Water dish is 2" in diameter, so I'm guessing he or she is right at 4.5" have to check sex next molt.

Next, my N. colorvitalosus, Duke. He didn't like they flash and kicked hairs at it.
