Mesh lid BAD- excellent on replacing it- my T. Stirmi started a hole in my mesh while I awaited my IHeartGeckos order. 2. Ventilation - your front vents are covered by soil so if the top is vented then air will not flow through3. Make the pre-made hide deeper so that it has an excavated feel. My Curly Hair loves to drag prey in for eating but prefers to hang on top.4. Increase the depth lower the height to fall. You already know this really isn't the tank for a terrestrial- unless you buy a piece of acrylic to put inside the doors and really increase the depth. That is a nice enclosure that someday you will get an Aviculara that will love it! I keep my Curly hair in a Sterlite 6 quart tub with locking lid that is wider and longer than it is high. Good luck and prepare for redecoration since T's love to!!!!</blockquote>
