Kenny, would you mind sharing a picture of her new home? I would love to see an example of a good OBT enclosure :D

Ok, here's what I use.
Very Basic. dry EcoEarth, a 4" water bowl with some stones (for the roaches not the T) and a piece of Cork.
I like to use glass aquariums for OBT, because they like it dry, so no need to retain humidity.

Awesome! Thanks so much for posting that Kenny :) I'm enclosure shopping atm (looking to make a T order if the shipping price is right), and I would like to see if I can swing a deal if I buy a couple at the same time.

Well, I have emailed two different breeders (because of course neither of them carry the same thing lol), I can't afford both of the orders so seeing which one works out better price wise. The one order would be: A.versicolor, B.smithi and a G.aureostriata (possibly a B.auratum if he'll swing a deal). And the order from the other place would be: A.purpurea, C.cyaneopubescens and a C.elegans

Beware of Elegans slings. 1/16" is small. ;)

Kind of sucks that I wasn't able to find the smithi and the purpurea in the same place though :(
