So I have 2 slings. An OBT and Cobalt... What do you guys think about this idea?

Im planning on using those clear 16oz containers that use for food, but the super clear types... Ill make side holes on them and pack with substrate.

Since these 2 particular slings are mainly burrowers, im planning to use like a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch PVC pipe and insert it into the substrate at a 45 degrees angle, creating a burrow... Ill throw in some moss and use a water bottle cap for a water. Do you think this will work?

Right now i have them in a slightly larger than 16 oz container with just moss in there and they arent really burrowing... Just hiding inside the moss.....

Just a tip, set your OBT up as you would an arboreal. The more substrate you give it the less you'll see it but if you give it a piece of cork bark to web to it will behave like a tree dweller.
