Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oursapoil" data-source="post: 212252" data-attributes="member: 33266">Hi Haro86,I think your T is well overdue for an enclosure upgrade. As rightfully stated by other forum members, this is not the right size or shape for the T you currently have. More substrate is definitely needed. Although my experience with Ts is far greater than my knowledge of trees, the hide in the enclosure most definitely looks like it is pine (please let us know what tree it came from as you researched it before using it). At the exception of cork bark, it is safer to stay away from wood all together, especially as it is not really needed for terrestrial Ts.I would not worry about the bold patch, your T is just kicking her abdomen setae (it could be for several reasons but I do not see any rash or parasites there). Once again, welcome to the forum.</blockquote>
