I have been stressing out a bit over how to house my wee B. albopilosum because I have never had anyone that small before. I was also hoping to put together the same for my 1/2" E. campestratus.
I rigged this up from items I have around already and would like some feedback please. The substrate is just store bought soil designed for reptiles, not plants. It is a Mason jar with nylon stocking replacing the center bit in the lid. You can use a different number of layers of nylon stocking to increase or decrease airflow. That is a paper straw, cut in half, down the side. I know that they probably won't use it to burrow, but I thought I would give it a try anyway because it would make them much easier to see.
I still need to find something to put inside to store water in. Unless I can get away with damp sphagnum moss?
The others are between 1" and 2", so this will be a bit small for them. I will keep them in the plastic deli cups instead.
Please let me know what you think!
