[QUOTE="aquawho, post: 21889, member: 2538"] Thanks for the all the helpful information. I have a few question to ask. Sorry if you feel like I am asking too much, I want to make sure that I get all the information I need. I am that kind of person who loves questioning. [LIST=1] [*]Coconut Substrate. I should get a dry one or a damp one? one of the worker there said that Pinktoe need some damp environment to aid their molting. He warned that it not a good idea to have a wet environment but have some moisture in the tank will help. [*]Live plants. I am hoping to get a live plants since I have so many plants in my house. It is ok to have something like a small cactus since they don't really grow fast. or the artificial plants is better? [*]Tank size. Yes I am aware that the tank is sightly too big for one pinktoe. That why I am planning to get a few something like maybe 3 or 4 females. If it is still too big, perhaps I can add more objects in the tank to make it feel less roomy? something like more hiding place? [*]Hiding place. One of my friend pushing me to have something like a hole in the ground for the Pinktoe. I read somewhere that Pinktoe is not a ground dweller, they are more of a wall dweller. Do pinktoe require some kind of underground hiding place or it best to have many "wall" hiding place? [*]Arboreal. I know Pinktoe do require something of a tall enclosure. I had this tank last year for my fish but it didn't work out well. So I decided to hold on that tank until I get something useful and I happen to believe that tank would be perfect for the Pinktoes. If you are curious about the dimension of my tank, it is 16.5 in H/24 in L/12 in W. Is it tall enough or I should be encouraged to get a smaller and taller tank? [*]Water. I know it sound silly, but I wonder if a small reptile water fountain will do the job? Something like this [url]http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/reptile_fountain.php[/url] ? Or this is tad much? I want to showcase my tank to any of my friend who is highly curious of Pinktoes. [*]Tank cover. Since my tank is a fish tank. I required something of a cover to prevent them leaving the enclosure.
