Exo Terra for arboreals

[Kds]

Your GBB seems to love that arboreal setup, awesome webbing.

With the screen top, do you have issues keeping humidity up? Seems like it'd dry out pretty quickly with an open top like that.

I use the Exo Terra and just cut a piece of transparency film from Staples to fit the top the size you like for the ventilation you desire and you can’t even tell it’s there

Do it...Just don't post on the other forum...they will have a field day with you. They are anti semi arboreal over there...

Funny thing is in the wild who tells CBB’s not to climb over 6”

I'm actually going to rehouse my large female into a 30x12x12 this weekend...maybe??? Idk she molted 2 weeks ago. Might wait another week. Anyways she's been in a arboreal setup her whole life...but with wanting to breed her, my male is going to need room to flee.

The nano enclosure I use is so well ventilated that it was hard to get it to do anything beyond room temperature. Cutting a plastic sheet or several to cover up the screen on top will help hold in humidity.

I found that the typical shallow water dish dried out way to fast. A plastic shot glass in the corner solved that problem. It's deeper but the Versicolor can still get in or out assuming she knows where it is.

If anything, the ventilation is to good!! Any heat source will create thermal ventilation by convection.

They are awesome cages. A ceramic heat lamp on an overhead bracket & a heat pad in the back mounted high up were both necessary to heat it up. By themselves, the effects were zero.

I should have a mature versicolor in no time!! One of the first things she did there was molt.
