[QUOTE="Sycohearted, post: 150420, member: 29138"] This was an amazing comment I received on the forum and it was super inspirational to someone like me who firmly believes in "bigger is better" when it comes to animal enclosures... "I've been watching this thread with interest and I like your approach about having everything sorted before you have commited. The best thing about this forum is you have input from ppl all over the world, some keepers are very "passionate" about how you should keep your new addition/s and if you don't do it in a very particular way then it seems to be upsetting for them. Stacks of deli cups on a dark shelf is not for everyone and if you are pushed into a corner to use a certain type of enclosure that makes you miserable then chances are that it probs won't work out for you and your T long term. If you do end up with a bigger enclosure then use furniture to make it cosy and create tight spots if you want fake plants then use them, you can be clever about it and create a safe area directly outside of the hide or burrow with overhanging plastic foliage which generally leads to more time spent outside or at the entrance. In all honesty I have enclosures that would probably be deemed too big and some peeps would lose their minds and froth at the mouth until that T was jammed into a deli cup but the truth is that a feeder generally doesn't last longer than 30 seconds in any of my larger enclosures."
