Message: <blockquote data-quote="m0lsx" data-source="post: 241149" data-attributes="member: 29323">I largely use cork tubes with artificial trailing plants around it. But a large vertical piece of bark does much the same.  Especially when the vertical bark is against the back of the enclosure, with some trailing plant there too. I do have some mossy branches is a few enclosures too. But I find cover is appreciated more, so I tend to stick with a decent sized cork tube & plenty of artificial trailing plants, as that is what my T's like.With arboreal slings & small juvi's. They tend to be as much fossorial, as arboreal. So these I give plenty of substrate. But with adult arboreals, who spend very little time on the ground, I use minimal substrate. Maybe 2 inches or moist substrate, just so it will keep the humidity up. My fake plants come from a variety of sources. Some are designed for flower arranging. Some is sold for tarantulas etc, others for general household decretive purposes, or even fish tanks.</blockquote>
